I must say I’m enjoying it but I feel it worked much better in combination with Blizzcon in previous years as the biggy world championship title tournies. Blizzcon was the tournament that rewarded consistency over the year, Katowice via qualifiers closer to the event and a bigger open bracket was the one that had the feeling of players could hit a real hot streak and make those big surges. I do kind of miss that element, granted I think it’s something that is more exciting in a LAN setting with the great and the good gathering and with crowds in. The performance of players from the ro36 doesn’t particularly help my case in this regard, but SC2 has had great stories over the years from big open brackets, be there from MLG or IPL or some interesting Katowice runs. I love it. I think Katowice is way better at being the world championship than blizzcon was. And ESL run the circuit in a more professional manner than blizzard did. The open bracket was nice though but doesn't fit the WC setup. Hopefully we can get that for the Dreamhacks once offline play returns. | ||

PartinG won their last four encounters and his form against Terran is very good while TY's form against Protoss is quite mediocre. I hear you but has there been a situation recently with this much on the line where TY has had proper prep against PartinG? I absolutely love both players, but feel like TY has just been on a different level compared to PartinG. I mean if you step away from head to head and look towards major recent achievements its of course all TY. Anyways, sick hype for today, all four matches are interesting as hell. | ||
