I am pretty sure hsc is a premier tournament now, even if it is by invitation, top korean players can acceed it.
lp considers hsc a major, however gpl and assembly are listed as premiers. so inno merely has to win blizccon to complete one in this year alone
edit: nvm im stupid

this gsl vs the world copied the tournament script from 2018 wcs. have one player make an amazingly deep run out of nowhere only to lose to Serral in a good finals match.

I mean that's what you want to see when you have maxed out armies smashing together in late game. This is standard GSL policy. But yeah I don't think the WCS observers do that. He does it quite a lot in the early game, I think in ZvZ it’s neat because of the drone/unit dynamic so hiding that a bit makes it a bit more exciting

You mean Serral won more premiers in LoTV than TaeJa did in HOTS now, it's 9 to 8.

Hiding the unit tab was a bit more confusing in some of the late game scenarios where things looked deceptively close because Elazer had a bigger bank, but in reality Serral's was comfortably ahead because he had 5 more vipers and a few more lurkers.

but also, that GSL production. Wow they put on an amazing show. Good interviews/segments, studio and hype videos all looked really awesome.Super impressed! They really kill it. The segments and all are good individually, but how they segue together with little actual downtime and things keep moving smoothly is great as well

So how many instances did we have during this tournament of the Korean server going to shit and lagging?

I have to say that observers are better for WCS than GSL

Sad that both Serral's and Elazer's primes will last longer than the competitive scene of the game of StarCraft II. ![](/mirror/smilies/wink.gif)
Elazer got another fan.
Zergs of the World, follow The Overmind! Elazer proved that path will be successful, and covered with a creep. GG!

There were big fights happening which I saw on the minimap but observer didnt check them out. Plus do WCS observers have smoother moving, it felt like GSL observer moved around with a mouse at some points :D

Great tournament, this was my first experience of GSL vs the World live, Bo5s from the get-go I love. Bo3s you get that
Elazer’s run was great and he played well in the final, hopefully will gain some more fans from within regular SC2 viewers for it.
Only real disappointments on my end were Maru not really showing up and the sheer level of balance whine at times.
The team match fills the schedule, but especially with the strong foreigner showing this time hopefully next time they make it into a Korea vs RotW. Just feels a series of good matchups with no real stakes or story to it as it is.

Anyone else than me that thought the team game was the best SC2 entertainment in quite some time? I had no expectations really, but I thought it was blast. The casters were obviously in the right mood too.

Best tournament all year for sure. The production, the casting and the games were all amazing. It was a shame though that some players failed to show up.

tl.net! Please, correct the historical unjustice and just place Serral as #1 in top of the next power rank, and everyone will be happy. At least one perma-reason less for whining.
As we all know, he may never (lol!) get closer to that dream spot than now (lol!).
But no!!! Every reasonable SC2 fan understand that he cannot ever earn #1 spot in the world without playing in the GSL.

This is about the time of year when the power rankings peace out until Serral loses something.

Not until after WCS Fall. Then they can peace out
