- Regular season matches are played in 3 best of two sets, determined by total map score, then by an ace match if needed. 3 points for a non-ace win, 2 for ace win.
- Round robin format.
- A Chinese player (including players from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) must be included in each match's lineup.
- Current ladder season map pool.
|
Just a reminder I wont be live on Day 1 due to my own event, but will be here for every other match. Will cover tomorrows replays ASAP (either tomorrow evening or Tuesday!)

When he sacrificed that army to kill Cure's third I thought it was over for Dear, but well played to bring this one home.
And now, of course, proxy Rax... :D

But now Inno vs Dark, the thing I'm here for.

Hard not to though. The builds, the micro, everything... those first two games were just trainwrecks.

Inb4 Dark wins the macro game and then Inno goes proxy rax.

Would be fun if Dark-Inno is a draw too so that the Chinese players decide the outcome.

Could they then field another player? Or does it have to be one of the three that already played?
Also: Inno playing immediately after this in Wardi's tournament. Wonder if that means he won't be the ace.

Then at the bottom you'll most likely find IG and DLG. But I think the teams in-between are all actually pretty even and could beat each other on any given day.

Who would be DLG's ace? SortOf probably? I'd imagine he's still ahead of Dynamite.
Also can you believe we still don't have team flairs for the teams of this league?

This is the first time I've ever seen a success of drone rush,lol.

Good eye from Solar to catch that SortOf is massively down on drones. Personally I would have missed that and got rolled.
Though Zerg isn't my go to race

Looks like TY has to show up today to avoid the ace match huh.
I too would really like to support my favorite Chinese team with a hip new flair.

DynaMite a true Korean Terran with the proxy in the ace.
|
I'm kind of bothered by the fact we have a 7 map pool and still in this match Nightshade is played 3 times, one of which is the ace match.
|
This is why TSG should have sent TY for the ace btw, Solar is useless against proxy rax builds, he can't defend them for shit.
E: Yeah there it goes again, every time I see Solar get proxy rax'd he loses.

Germany3367 Posts
The madman did it. Really happy for DLG and Alpha X in this first week, really cool to have the new teams start with some wins!

As I recall,it seems Solar hardly ever wins a game against proxy 2/3 rax hhhhhhh

Also happy cake day to our valiant writer! Imagine though if they had sent SortOf and TSG went with TY (for some reason, his performance didn't really lend itself to it). SortOf would have been hopeless, Dynamite already made it close.
Still annoyed by the fact that Nightshade was played 3 times.

Astrea plays so damn greedy in the midgame i feel, but the terrans he faced recently just don't punish it at all.

TY 2 for 2 on absolutely hideous GTC performances.

That second game looked very much like Game 1 against Dream last week from Astrea. These runbys (more like invasions) with massive Zealot counts are devastating.

Yeah we need like Gold and Black, so TSG can have gold and IG Black so we can give Alpha X yellow.

Alternatively black and white. Those are colors that are already in the game, Blizzard should just make them available for custom games like come on.
Until we get something like that, I could also see two teams sharing a color (IG & LP both pink for instance) and when they play each other they take the color of whichever team doesn't play that week.
Anything so we can get some color diversity. Team colors in Proleague were such a cool thing. Now every tournament ever is red vs blue only. Which isn't even a strong contrast for the viewers, SC2 has much bigger ones.

Even for PartinG there wouldn't be many I'd think. You need things to go so well to not lose that match outright. And they have one of the more stable Chinese guys.

Sorry, Xiaose confirmed that Star (Wang Runcong) is born in 2002 instead of in 2004 because of some mistakes in the discussion about Alpha X Dragon's Arena #2.
BreakingGG is born in 1992. He is 10 years older than Star instead of 12 years.

OK. I must wait for Star's own words because Xiaose also said wrong words - Wanted is said to be born in 1999 when he participated in GPL 2014 but Wanted himself said that he is born in 1996 ... I don't say about who is right!

RIP LP. PIMPact did not show up today.

Brutal start for LP into the season. I'd peg them as part of the midfield of competition (maybe slightly below average?), this was monstrous from Kaizi.

I think what kinda sucks for DLG (and helps TSG) is that the 4-3 was only worth 2 points, meaning that if they lose today they're still bottom dwellers even after a huge upset win in week 1. Meanwhile TSG is in 2nd place now on the back of reaching that ace match and getting that extra point.
E: I think if Cyan scouted that at any point he'd have had a really good chance to hold that, unlucky.
|
Germany3367 Posts
Yeah, it's a bit worse for the upsetting team, while ironically I think the rule was probably made so the weaker teams would get rewarded for making it to the ace.

Hurricane had so many advantages but completely fell apart to multitasking and basic drop play. That's not good.

Wonder what will happen to TY then. Does this mean that he doesn't really want to play in a team league? Could we possibly see DPG sign him in another escalation of the Kaizi-DPG arms race? Or is he now unwanted by all GTC teams?

So of course this is exactly what was expected to happen for TSG. Neither Star nor Cloudy are really able to compete with the non-Chinese players and we end up in a situation where by the time Solar comes out it's too late for him to save anything.

Impact even eliminated Super from the GSL Qualifiers recently, so it's not like Super has him figured out especially. Maybe Impact just didn't feel confident for whatever reason? They wanted to give Patience a chance to make up for his loss? No clue.

Is it because there was some smurfing controversy in the past? (but if that's the case, it seems like half of the other players also shouldn't have teams...)

It is due to the matchfixing scandal in 2017.
1. His involvement in the matchfixing scandal in the original SL team league did a huge blow to the league. 2. He also screen cheated during an online tournament against one of his own teammates (X-Team). That teammate came from a family hugely impacted by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and spent a lot of time taking care of his grandmother.
1. is already considered unacceptable by many but 2 makes him unforgivable from the Audience's perspective.

Thanks! I knew about this scandal, and since Coffee and BKGG seem to have been forgiven since then, I was wondering why Silky wasn't, since apparently they did more or less the same things. But busyghost's explanation added the additional detail that made it clear.

Please see the words from Scarlett in the forum. (I believe she is true Scarlett) https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/523751-7-chinese-players-banned-match-fixing-and-smurfing#13
If "20170610" didn't exist, would Coffee and Chinese Silky have been better than now? No one knows.

Look at that, Solar actually bringing home a victory for TSG!
What is this Ghost rush build from TIME wth
Brutal series for SYF. Not unexpected, but still.
16-4 now in predictions btw. (7 w correct score - 9 simply correct outcome - 4 wrong) I feel like it has to go downhill from here. :D

If DPG and AX deliver tomorrow top 3 are essentially locked for the playoff I think.

In Game 1, Firefly's 14 stalkers ...
EDIT: Firefly 2-0 Patience became 1-1 ...

Yeah, pretty hard throw in G1 from Firefly. Would have been an easy 2-0. T_T
Edit: lol at PartinG and Impact. Over after a combined 5 minutes or so gametime... :D

Who would've thought Alpha X is now 5-1 going into week 7 and has essentially secured a playoffs spot.
|
Germany3367 Posts
Yeah, what a cool success story! Also, Astrea has now taken leadership over Dream with most wins with that ace win.
Most importantly my prediction rate is 81% now, thanks for not letting me down Alpha X!
|
I think whoever picks the lineups for AlphaX has been doing an outstanding job. They don't really have the best or deepest roster in the tournament, but every week when the lineups are publicized it worked out so that AlphaX has a shot. The closest to having no shot on paper they've been was against TSG before TY left (which could be argued an ace match could have been feasible from the start anyway) and that was the only match they lost.
And to top it off, I don't think any of their players have had a particularly bad or particularly great day yet. They seem to be a team that can always deliver to their level. Kaizi for example has a lot more wildcard elements (aka Dear).

Edit: Totally agree on the topic, though!

Jieshi had a little chance but he wasnt agressive enough to win it or get a bigger lead giving Dream enough time to destroy him

Hurricane was 5 seconds away to destro the 4th and probably win that game. now we go to the ace match

The ever-so-reliable Patience with his reliable disruptors is definitely the best choice for any ace match.

Because of Jim's net problem, Match 2, Innovation vs XY will start first.

DTs gave him an early lead and he managed to close it out after some back and forth.

Well at least he got 1 map for IG and they didn t just roll over and die like some other teams did vs Kaizi and DRG  He realy can be happy with that performance

The Chinese casters are really good. Very expressive. One of them is an Invictus player (coach?) and his perspective is hilarious. Also fun to figure out the slang.
I should try and tune in more often.

Realy nice played by Firefly, looked more onesided than some KR-CH matches in the past. If Astrea pulls it off now, he s going to be the MVP of the whole season. But even a single Map win would be a good result for him and an ok one for the Team I gues
|
Astrea's pylon formation in the main is triggering me so hard.

So DPG wins, meaning Kaizi takes second and Alpha X drops to third I think.

Astrea always plays on such a high worker count that the somewhat bad trades he does aren't rly an issue.
|
Pretty impressive showing by Alpha X, all things considered. Though I imagine the playoff format will work against them.
|
Even though we didn t get an Ace Match here, I think Alpha X can still be realy happy here. They went 1-1 vs both Koreans, whom are actually GSL RO8 allready. If they could get BKGG up a bit, they d be even better. Pretty damn good, considering how they look on paper compared to some other Teams here

Really nice series from both teams. With a bit more luck the ace match would've been in reach, and then anything could've happened!

If necessary, would Silky (Chinese player) replace BKGG ? Two days ago, his rush 3-2 Firefly and got the winner of GPC Tier 2 #4.

However, Star was only better during that time. Even in fact he has won BKGG by 2-0.

Germany3367 Posts
I think BKGG just a needs a bit more development time. Besides, he actually is among the top 5 Chinese players in terms of map wins, so I'd say if anything he's performed above expectations, which is great. Can't fault him for losing to Firefly, who is the best Chinese Protoss at the moment in my opinion.

Even in fact he has won BKGG by 2-0. Star - BKGG was 1-1, that was the Series, where Star snipped all the Broodlords and then left the game. Regardless Cloudy took a couple of weeks to get his game up again and would ve been a way easier Opponent than TY. So that would have most likely ended in an ACE Match instead without TY.

I hope we even get a live stream of this now, with ESL Cups being moved to Monday and everyone streaming those. Kinda sucks for GTC. (insert Apollo killing the KR/CN scene meme here)
And I know Wardi might do the replays at some point, but that's not really optimal, obviously, since there's no solid schedule for when those are casted.

We are no longer allowed to cast the Gold Series Team Championship as Blizzard have reported we are no longer allowed to stream these matches on Twitch.
I will look into perhaps casting the playoffs as a YouTube only cast, but I can't live stream on YouTube due to my Twitch contract as far as I know.

Man that was so close at the end. First day in a while where I had both results wrong.
This certainly was a different return from the break than I had imagined it...

Is anyone able to decipher how many people tune in from China? Curious to see the stream view numbers

I see something like a like or follower count top right, and a the number next to the little flame icon, which I also can't really identify. When I click on it there seems to be an option to add something to the number, I so imagine it's some combination of gifts/viewers to see how 'hot' the stream is?

Just a few years ago chinese streaming platforms wiredly doesn't want streams to show how many people there are, I think some of them do that because of they are investing on streamers and making this hotness stuff could make people to tune in more likely. Some streamers have their salary depend on the hotness stuff, they need to have certain amount of hotness over certain hours every month to get full salary and full gifts(nostalie stop streaming heros of the storms because of that). And the rest, idk. By the way, streamers doesn't know how many people there are too, so the chat and the subscription as thing are the only measurement to tell how many human beings are there.

The final standings look hilarious. 4 teams at 5-3. Two teams are at 2-6 but one has 9 points while the other has 6. On a less hilarious note we have 3 teams in there that didn't survive the season.
Our playoff teams are a pretty fun mix as well. We have the star-studded rich kids from DPG and Kaizi, the middle class kid from BSG and the working class kids from LP and AlphaX who have no standout players for the SC2 scene as a whole but players who performed well in this league.
