Only upset is TIME losing to Cyan 0:2 too bad it wasn't broadcasted. | ||

Scarlett can play a pretty decent late game, certainly better than IA did, it could be interesting series if we get there. | ||

Apparently Special works hard but is not as talented as the lazier Scarlett. So the prediction is Scarlett 3-1 Special. But Inno is not worried about either of them, even if he's not at his peak right now. I like these guys, they've got a good Tastosis-ish vibe. Oh the other guy disagrees, he thinks it's more 50/50 and will be 3-2 no matter which way. | ||

I agree with pvsnp here, Serral's ZvT lategame play in 2019 has appeared somehow lackluster considering his skill level; I am pretty sure Solar is better than Rogue at handling Terran. | ||

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Special's TvZ as lackluster as ever. Scarlett played reasonably well, but nothing spectacular. On the plus side, no mirrors. | ||

Tournaments Tier Definition on TL: Premier Tournaments offer an outstanding prize pool, are frequently played out offline, and feature the best players from all over the world. They are commonly held by well-established franchises and are considered especially prestigious amongst the community. Major Tournaments feature a large prize pool and a good number of top-tier players. They are generally one-time events which take place online. | ||

I think one hidden definition is that there must be some kind of qualifier involved as this tournament had but HSC doesn't now. It's interesting to take a look at the reassignment of HSC from Premier to Major tier between HSC 16 and HSC 18: They both satisfy the official TL definition for Premier tournament (in fact they're basically the exact same tournament happening 1 year apart) but the only difference is that HSC 16 had slots for qualifiers while 18 doesn't. | ||

Then what about the Hangzhou Starcraft carnival? It also had qualifiers, had a higher prize pool than GPC, was played offline and had prestigious invites (neeb, innovation, rogue, hero, scarlett). Surely they belong to the same category, be it premier or major? | ||

It's got a solid prize pool, it's played offline, GPL is a relatively well-known series of tournaments. But it definitely doesn't feature best players from all over the world or is considered particularly prestigious among the community. And 14 out of 16 attendees were invited too. Quite honestly this tournament's main appeal is that its prize pool is above 20k. | ||

Quite honestly this tournament's main appeal is that its prize pool is above 20k. The majority of players actually got there by accumulating points in official tournaments like WCS qualifier/challenger or GPC monthlies. The only problem is the overall quality of players. | ||

I agree with Digmouse, I am not sure there were enough top players to consider GPC a Premier event. | ||

The players, prizepool, format, etc, are all independent of such labels and they remain unchanged no matter what liquipedia happens to say. WCS is not GSL no matter what their labels are, nor are different HSCs any greater or lesser because of it. You can call a duck a horse, but it will still quack all the same. Once the totally arbitrary criteria are decided, one would imagine they are going to be respected; consistency is what we are discussing here. | ||

In any case, the change to Premier was made by CynicalDeath (the guy who basically runs the wiki) and I'd rather not cross him by changing it back. It's just one more inconsistency among many. Speaking of the wiki though, the Achievements table has this tournament dated as 2018-06-16 instead of 2019-06-16. I can't for the life of me find out how or where this Achievements table can be edited, but somebody who does know might want to fix that. | ||

There are inconsistencies, both Majors being labeled as Premiers(of the HSCs, XVIII alone not being Premier is a big question mark, to me; NEO SL 2016, definitely looks like a Premier tournament;the GFinity G3 Bunny won, even if maybe only 12 people doesn't cut the mark, just as for Hangzhou Carnival; Campus Party Europe 2012, I believe it could be a Premier; LG Cinema 3D Special League 2011, also unclear to me why it is a Major) and Premiers which may be Major(mostly the tournament we are discussing of and the two SSL Challenge in 2017: few players, very low prize and a being a lower division of a more prestigious tournament; Code A in 2011 was at least a more crowded competition). Out of 500/600 non minor Sc2 tournaments, I would not say there are many dubious cases; in any of case, Liquipedia is not immutable, I think those can be discussed and, if necessary, modified. WCS events being Premier as much as GSL ones is not and cannot be inconsistency, on the other hand. | ||
