Casters so tunneled on foreigner vs Korean that they can’t tip their hats off to Classic’s career.

You guys should not blame balance team, you should blame yourselves since you were screaming "Protoss op" when they really weren't; Blizzard's fault was listening to you.

I had never seen Serral threw that hard, it was kind of amazing; you guys really didn't understand anything of me if you think I'd in shambles since Reynor, who I love almost as much, was the one beating Serral this time; also, ZvZ must be a bad matchup, right? That series was so exciting.

I'm happy Classic beat Rogue and I'm relieved that Maru didn't advance, not because I hate him but because there are people out there who venerates him like a God, that's so bad.

If Dark wins, Reynor should have a nice shot at BlizzCon's title! DAJE RICCARDO!

Were they listening before Blizzcon?

Keep your logic consistent. Everyone has been moaning since even before Rogue and Dark made public statements.


My logic IS consistent. Blizzard doesn't make extra patches to please the community, but has listened to its whining even more than it was reasonable; have you watched the proposed changes for next patch? Not to mention Infestors were nerfed, it's just that Protoss were overnerfed.


Except that this is not a 2 race game, terran has actually been performing worse than toss so it obviously isn't just about nerfing protoss.

The community is half-retarded, I agree with you on that. However, Blizz balance team's average IQ is probably not more than a standard deviation higher. They over-pandered, while lacking the analytical talent to tackle the job they were assigned to do. Probably HR department decided to take in some diversity hires. lol (half-joking)

The removal of the MSC made the game interesting again for me. Allowing Locusts to fly was a huge mistake.

WOL was the best, except for the few overpowered all-ins (1-1-1, Soul Train, ect) as long as it didn't get to late game. The problem was always late game. But they decided to fix early game and blew it with HOTS.

Whining so much for nothing…I'll repeat myself and urge you to watch the incoming updates.
ZvP is imbalanced, everyone knows it, and Classic deserved better than this.

Classic has been such a fixture of Starcraft 2, clearly one of the best of all time. I really loved following him this last year when he changed his style to better suit his current strengths and thereby showed us his massive knowledge of the game and how to play it.

Massive respect to you Classic, truly an all time great 8>

Casters should make more of Dark going 3-0 against Maru and Classic. That’s pretty sick in one day.

Even though he lost against Dark, Classic reminds me of Boxer and perhaps Mvp. He had his time at the top but in the twilight of his career, he still manages to give the younger players a hell of a fight. Through his games, I can just feel his desperation and sheer will to win despite the terrible odds. I think that is why they are so endearing to fans.

They were buffed already(EMP, anyone? TvP looks like an actual matchup now to everyone but the most diehard Terran fans) and they will receive more buffs in the future.

Late HotS was basically the same as now, just replace Brood Lord/Infestor with Mech.

Honestly Classic vs Rogue was the finals in my mind. Far and away the best series of the night, and Classic completely deserved that win.

They absolutely have in the past so I don't know what you're attempting to say there. They have an emphasis on large changes at the end of the year but make plenty of fixes during. It's not consistent, you said blizzard listened about the toss whine and nerfed. Now you're pointing to a year end patch (months after Z was publicly agreed to be op) and saying they listened? They literally changed the same patch before it went live. If anything they haven't been listening which was why they've changed it. You're attempt at finger waving at the community I only partly agree with. But when it gets to this state, and the public agrees (see TL tl.net) that a fix before blizz was needed. I really can't see how you can blame the community.

FTR, Serral dropped out with the best win % of the tournament (79%), and will likely keep that #1 place regardless of who wins the tournament. Thank you, single elimination. You did it again.


it can happen in double elim too. Win everything until winners final, drop down, lose. probably still highest winrate :x

There are many other formats, all superior to SE and DE.


to determine what exactly?

To determine who is the best all-rounder. In SE, you can get (un)lucky in too many ways.


Winning tournaments is not about determining who is best allrounded, but wins the tournament in that given format. For HSC for example its 8 man round robin into double elimination bracket. You will find flaws in ANY given system and you mentioned.

Also a tournament will never determine THE BEST player, its not possible with a system thats giving you a reasonable timed schedule. You cannot have each player face all other players in a big enough sample size for that. Groups are not based on skill but placements and placements in a WCS system also do not reflect a 100% on who is best or not.

Saying the best player didn't win the tournament the reason being his winrate in maps is a very flawed way of seeing who is best. How do you feel about CSGO and maps ending 16-4 / 14 -16 and 14 - 16. More rounds won by the losing team. Also if you start to value individual maps over series wins (as you say 3-0 > 3-2 in a victory) you can start looking into how dominant a map was. Serrals 3-0 vs soO is a very clear victory on paper, not so much in the games.

I feel your statement while not offensive is a very bad way at looking at "the best player"
