If Maru wins this GSL, I think he'll have a pretty good claim to not only be the best SC2 player in the world, but to be the best SC2 player of all time. | ||

Yes, but the winner of GSL is seeded directly into Blizzcon regardless of WCS points. Edit: https://gyazo.com/451cd282362c8488e3bbab35f939d964 | ||

He’ll get the higher seed so he’ll probably take the wcs spot since the highest he can get in KR is 7 I think. https://mobile.twitter.com/esportstarcraft/status/1035669477956845568 | ||

If Neeb qualifies on both sides, he'll only get the one with the higher seed. That's what blizzard have said. Auto qualification only makes a difference if a player is outside top 8 and have it anyway. | ||

The only reason that hasn't happened is cuz Koreans won last year and this year by styling on foreigners | ||

I don't know why people fuss about auto blizzcon seeds. They almost never make a difference given that the points awarded from Katowice or gsl are so high anyway | ||

So the system is not rigged. | ||

However, I have no idea what that would be besides barring foreigners from the GSL altogether, which I don't think anyone wants. I believe Rifkin brought this up on the Pylon show the other day, and suggested that Artosis get a Korean pro with a translator on the show to discuss the subject. I think that's a very good idea, and hope it happens, we don't get to hear Korean pros' thoughts on things much. | ||

I won't contest that he could certainly get to the finals of Montreal though. | ||

Right now he's rank 3 in WCS, and if he wins GSL he'd be rank 8 in korea. So even if he wins GSL, he has to drop out of top 8 in WCS to qualify via a korean spot. Which doesn't look likely given his form right now. | ||

Theoretically, if he wins both GSL and WCS, then he will have seeds for Blizzcon for both events, in that case GSL will be dropped, since he will get either 2 or 3 in Circuit depending on how Special does | ||

He literally seems like 2 different players on his on and off days. I was so happy when he thrashed his ro16 group. Seemed like the rogue that showed up vs Maru is back and here to stay. But alas he didnt look on point vs Neeb. Not taking any credit away from Neeb obviously. | ||

Man, that G3 on lost and found. My fav moments ~3 min Maru brazenly bullies his way up the ramp after delaying the cc, kills both reapers, the SCV building the starport, and gets out with two reapers after dealing the maximum damage to the remaining hellion. Going up a ramp vs. the same set of units 'shouldn't' be possible at that level right? ~6min two reapers jump into the main and stay alive for so long given how many units gumi had there. ~7min 3rd A single vanilla marine strolls up to the third that has just been placed and kills the scv, then another swaggers on up 30s later and almost does the same ~11:20 Gumiho attacks with a maxed 1/1 army bio army, Maru already has 2/2 mech, with stim and 1/1 for bio done. Are you kidding me?! ~13:20 Maru hits just as his 2/2 bio finishes, with 2/2/2/2 vs. 2/2/1. That mech into bio transition... damn. Dear I say it, but Maru looking pretty bonjwa to be styling so hard on Gumiho that game. Gumi's TvT this year is nothing short of brilliant, his play on G1 was very strong IMO. | ||
