There were some interesting moments (a personal favorite of mine is when TL writers predicate Yonghwa to get out of an up/down group, but then he went 0-5 and apparently had some sort of eye infection to boot. The curse was doing overtime back then), but too much randomness overall.

Yeah, it might not have been the fairest format, but it was so nuts to watch at times (especially with tiebreakers) and I did like the idea of the top prospects advancing straight from ro24 while the more middle-of-the-pack players brawled it out for the last code S spots.

the great wall of HongUn!

HongUn, Makaprime, bitbybitprime. Such good memories.
|
Going from marineking vs kyrix to hongun's voidray shooting down at 40 lings is quite the transition

Did Tasteless just say "Solar's very good; he never fails to disappoint"? Lmao.

Solar's mad he has to play trap instead of spear

Tell that to the LCS, LEC, and some CS:GO tournaments. It is shocking how these players get paid millions to play so few matches. At least give us best of 2s.

LOL Artosis already talking like a politician. Listen we know this is bad for the game, but think of the jobs we'd lose if we banned it!

Trying to pare it down to only a few hours would be the hardest part.

Dan really pinned him there. Comparing gold farmers and ELO boosters to P2W microtransactions.

lol are you sure you've done the math? Cuz with 18 matches being played for the LCS/LEC regular season per split before playoffs, they often-times play more games than a Code S player. Look at Rogue -- he placed second in both ro24 and ro16, and he played a total of 15 matches to get to the quarterfinals.

That's such a stupid way to die. I wish there was a way to just take that out of the game.
|
Nice little re-enactment of last season's finals there
|
Well I certainly wasn't expecting a game shorter than that earlier beatdown of Spear.
