Kinda disappointing how all the people theoretically still fighting for Blizzcon did this tournament. Guess the top 8 is just too stable.

WCS has been this way for like three years but its still more exiting than GSL right


Weren't you the one complaining yesterday about Lambo getting to BlizzCon? He qualified in a very exciting turn of events, if he didn't Reynor would have with a single WCS presence; not to mention Has and Mana both miracolously reaching a WCS final.
The top eight Circuit sent to BlizzCon was very different from the best eight players there were, you are just complaining for the sake of it.


When was I complaining? I made a joke That Lambo not making blizzcon this year makes up for him getting in last year over better players.

The top 8 of every WCS has been stagnant since forever. It's usually the same player winning every time, and the same roster of players making top 8 (obviously fluctuating depending on brackets). Someone even did the stats in the "WCS>GSL" article last year and proved its much more repetitive than GSL/any korean event in terms of who makes top 8 each event.

You can't list one or two decent storylines and act like the WCS top 8 isn't stagnant. The top 8 of WCS rankings is almost the exact top 8 in this tourney, and that's something thats happened multiple times before


The term "stagnant" is so out of place here that it makes me laugh.

WCS top 8 has been extremely consistent

in 2017 the top 8 was quite stable

Feel free to explain how having the same "stable" or "consistent" top 8 at nearly every wcs doesn't feel stagnant?

If you look at every Korean event for the last two years there is a lot more variance, we aren't getting the same tournament every time. Hence my original post that was joking at the people claiming wcs is more exiting.


If the best are good enough to place high every time, it just means at the moment you couldn't be seeing a better ro8 in WCS; this usually ensures matches are tense and of high quality, how is this stagnant?

Its stagnant because there are only 8-10 foreigners actually competing on the level to go deep every time. And even further only 1-2 capable of being challengers to win. Like I said, we almost get the same roster in the ro8 of every wcs event. Multiple people have pointed out that the top 8 of this tournament is almost identical to the top 8 of yearly rankings.

Compare it to events with koreans over the last two years. The pool of top players and variance in the later stages is much greater.


You are not answering at all, this post of yours is identical to the last three you made.
This level of consistency is unique to 2019, I don't think it's bad and I don't even think it's going to be the same in the next years.

You also don't seem to understand what I meant by calling wcs stagnant and repetitive. Having the same tournament every time is indeed consistent, but its also pretty damn boring.

There simply isn't much variance between these events or anything to get invested in. Especially compared to the international or korean tournaments which WCS supposedly outshines.


Oh, I understand what you are saying but I don't agree at all. Having almost the same top8 in three events doesn't imply that the tournament will be the same and it's far from being boring(it turns out that the games aren't at all); that's your opinion entirely, don't watch them if you don't like them.

Generally, international tournaments are the ones I'm most excited for; korean tournaments may or may be not better than WCS.

TIME throwing his chance at this series trying to do that.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Too late to have faith in Neeb vs Serral. Its not 2018 anymore I dont think Neeb's PvZ is quite the best in the world.

It's well known that games between NA players are always gonna be clownfiesta regardless of skill difference between the players.

So I accidentally clicked on the twitch link, fine with me, but I am sitting on 100 mbps(technically 150, but my card isn't capable of delivering, neither router ) and can't see 1080@60 because "twitch". Why isn't WCS at Youtube at the same time as at Twitch? Meh.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I agree, if you actually watch the games and not the names of the players the meta has shifted quite a bit multiple times over the last 7 WCS'. The games are playing out completely differently.

That's what makes it exciting. I want to see how someone as good as Serral will evolve and come up with different strategies to get advantages over what others are doing.
