2 years ago, anyone who qualified for Code S getting knocked out before RO8 at any foreign tournament would have been one of the biggest upsets of the year.
Also - this lack of internet sucks, but reminds me of an NASL-type technical issue. Hope it comes back soon.

2 GSL Code S Zerg players getting knocked out of Group Stage 2 without winning a map. That says something about the quality of the bottom of the Korean scene.
What does it say? Not much considering herO didn't even make it into the GSL. If it were to say something, it would say that WCS is harder considering SortOf went 4-4 in his GSL group and almost made it into the ro16 instead of going out 0-4 in Stage 2 of WCS.

Hey I just got back. Why is the main stream down, is day 1 over already? (Liquipedia says we're not even done the second round yet).

Maybe I'm blind and senile, but when did Lambo or Namshar ever make a GSL?

Internet went down in the entire place quite some time ago now

So at this rate maybe the GSL games will start before WCS Austin comes back.

SortOf has qualified for GSL before (twice I think) and he's out. Maybe that's who you were thinking of?

Indeed, talk to us once we see how NA fares in round 3, I think NA's actually got a pretty strong lineup really. Do we also get to claim Special or naw?

We get to claim SpeCial as NA when he's doing something good but disown him when he's playing poorly or balance whining.
