I'm not sure that Stats was actually trying to confuse Rogue or that Rogue was confused. I think 2 SG voids basically is just as good as 3 SG voids if you're able to defend a roach attack and Stats was. | ||

I'm a PvP noob, but to be honest, I don't see how trap had the advantage in that attack in game 4 On one side was a bunch of stats' stalkers + shield batteries On the other side was a horde of stats' chargelots and all trap had was a globe of stalker immortal. aka the worst comp to be flanked I don't think forcefielding the zealots instead of stalkers wouldve helped. Stalker Immortal just trades so badly vs chargelots, and the super charge wouldve bought time | ||

The only top 8 players who didn't make ro16 next season were Dear (season 1->2) and sOs if you count ST1-> season 1. In 2011 you had a bunch of top tier players who were very similar in skill, that's just not the case today, at least not to the same extent. The field is much more stratified because there just aren't as many pros | ||

Also the fact that everyone who doesn't get top 4 in the Super Tournaments has to re-earn their spot in Code S every season is neat imo. | ||

Not nice to see, I wonder if this is Afreeca reprioritizing or if the Blizzard deal always included a gradual decrease in prize pool funding. Why do you think afreeca will be funding it themselves? | ||

And we have no announcement from ESL yet either, that might well cover the rest. | ||

Why do you think afreeca will be funding it themselves? Was listening to the Chinese SC2 cast. The casters usually have quite a bit of behind the scenes info. They talked about Afreeca providing the prize pool next year instead of Blizzard. | ||

Because I always had this in the back of my head - whether true or not - I was even surprised that the prize pool is still almost as high as before. | ||

Blizzard is surely footing a huge part of the bill | ||

Really would've liked to see Code A be 32 players And I still think top 8 staying in Code S is too much, the first round of Code S is the round of 16, which means half of the round of 16 will be seeded players | ||

That's not how Tastosis explained it anyway. What they said was top 4 from the Super Tournament and top 4 from the GSL qualifiers are straight into Code S and then also 8 people from Code A. And after a season of Code S is done there's another Super Tournament and this process repeats. Nobody is seeded from Code S to Code S. 32 player Code A would just be depressing to watch because the Korean pro scene is so shallow. Most people at that point would probably qualify for Code A without having to play a match in the bracket. | ||

Still I'd like to see players that have been playing in the qualifiers like Creator, Prince, Bomber, Coca, Curious, Taeja, ForGG... And the qualifiers aren't broadcast, so I would've liked to see them in Code A | ||
