All of the "GSL" titles are simply conflation arising from the usage of the same three-letter acronym. A Code S is not the same as a Super Tournament, a World Championship, a Cataclysm, or any other fancy name given to a weekender that happens to be run by GOM or Afreeca.

Holy shit, Gumiho lost to Zest?

I just got here and didn't bother to check the bracket because I assumed Gumiho won for sure.

*checks liquipedia*
My god, it's true!

why is this surprising

I'm not a huge fan of Gumiho, so I didn't assume he was invincible or anything. In fact, I think he's pretty inconsistent.

But still, the GSL champion losing to a guy who failed to qualify is....unexpected to say the least. Even with his inconsistency his skill floor should be above Zest. And Gumiho said himself that TvP is his best MU.


Zest played quite well though. Everyone knows Zest has the potential to beat GuMiho, and anyone else in the world. I find that reaction hard to justify just because he's done poorly for a while. People practice and improve, and in this case you're talking about a 3x GSL champion.

vs soO, vs TY, and ?

And the liberal interpretation of his GSL cup vs PartinG


It isn't liberal considering people count 4 GSLs for Mvp and 3 for Life.

Which is wrong. The GSL World Championship (that Mvp won) is LITERALLY the WoL version of GSL vs the World.

It is not a Code S by any stretch of the imagination and claiming otherwise is simply delusion.


And yet it's how the community counts it. Same with Life's Blizzard Cup. So gotta stay consistent.

People have never been consistent about this stuff. Have you seen what counted for a premier in the early days?

What community? The only claim I ever saw about the special events counting as GSLs was Mvp's G5L trophy, but even then it was a bold claim.

I propose a motion to say "starleague titles" now instead of "GSL" and "SSL" to differ actual tournaments from the ones soO could win.

GOM literally made a special G5L trophy because that's how the community counted.

Denial of evolutionary biology is also popular and consistent. Doesn't make it correct.


That's a stupid argument. One is a denial of proven facts, the other is you pushing your criteria down others' throats.

Holy shit, Gumiho lost to Zest?

I just got here and didn't bother to check the bracket because I assumed Gumiho won for sure.

*checks liquipedia*
My god, it's true!

why is this surprising

I'm not a huge fan of Gumiho, so I didn't assume he was invincible or anything. In fact, I think he's pretty inconsistent.

But still, the GSL champion losing to a guy who failed to qualify is....unexpected to say the least. Even with his inconsistency his skill floor should be above Zest. And Gumiho said himself that TvP is his best MU.


Zest played quite well though. Everyone knows Zest has the potential to beat GuMiho, and anyone else in the world. I find that reaction hard to justify just because he's done poorly for a while. People practice and improve, and in this case you're talking about a 3x GSL champion.

vs soO, vs TY, and ?

And the liberal interpretation of his GSL cup vs PartinG


It isn't liberal considering people count 4 GSLs for Mvp and 3 for Life.

Which is wrong. The GSL World Championship (that Mvp won) is LITERALLY the WoL version of GSL vs the World.

It is not a Code S by any stretch of the imagination and claiming otherwise is simply delusion.


And yet it's how the community counts it. Same with Life's Blizzard Cup. So gotta stay consistent.

What community? The only claim I ever saw about the special events counting as GSLs was Mvp's G5L trophy, but even then it was a bold claim.

I propose a motion to say "starleague titles" now instead of "GSL" and "SSL" to differ actual tournaments from the ones soO could win.

you will just make the BW community even more butthurt

I second that

Third (and I will note that I have used "Starleague" as such before, as Olli will remember from my heated argument with him).

Please, tell me how a 32-player tournament played over the course of multiple months is functionally or in any other way identical to a 16-player (or less!) weekender.

Proven facts.

Stuchiu = the community

I can verify that Stuchiu is always right.
