hi guys so I check liquipedia to see how it's going and see this:


trap goes 2-3 vs clem overall (1-1 in series)

trap never plays against cure (the best player in the group), whereas clem does

and then trap advances?

can someone explain this to me?

in what way are these "groups" ?


I thought complaints about GSL groups were old 8 years ago.


I guess I never really got into those discussions, I genuinely don't understand lol
it'd make more sense to me if liquipedia showed mini-brackets or something

Wasn't meant to be that snarky, sorry.

And it's true, showing them as mini-brackets would definitely reduce amount of complaints about it.


I mean the complaints aren't that common and showing mini-brackets would take twice the space on a page.


True, they are not common in SC2 because we got way too used to it (and because admittedly 4-man RR groups is a bad idea in StarCraft's reality of match-ups). Everytime it's used anywhere, you will always have a bunch of people crying about scenarios like Trap's.



Well is not that unfair, like Trap had one more map win than Clem and in the head to head are 1-1


Well, i don't think it's unfair either. Matter of fact, perfectly fair tournament format may exist but just like sorting algorithm Holy Grail, nobody will want to use it in practice.

It surely doesn't help they are way better but what a throw on this first game.

It's difficult to play against people that use/know the same builds as you but are much better at them. Both Maru and SpeCial steal a lot of builds from TY.

For SpeCial he's probably playing very different vs those guys that his standard TvT
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Special hasn't played Maru that much.

Against TY there could be some practice partner mindgames going on that affects the outcomes.

Hanging on when he should be dead is one of Maru's premier qualities.

Of all the things to copy from TY, Special chooses the armory timing.

This happened vs TY too where special just refuses to make an air transition and gets choked out by liberators

On top of that special was nowhere near as aggressive as he needed to be in the early mid game

Maru seems like a talented player. I really hope he manages to win something one day.

This marine heavy Special should have just kept counter attacking. You can't fight that army when they're pushing, you gotta try to pull it apart. The only way to win a main army fight would have been a big surround in the open which this map doesn't really allow.
