MVP, Nestea, MC or any S class pro knows infinitely more about the game than Artosis or Day9. Lol at people who top players are just mechanically better, they have a far better understanding of the game. So much ridiculous fanboying over Day9. He has nothing to teach top players | ||

He's the most sought out caster for large tournaments in the world, and is a lot better at articulating his thoughts than most people are. He also spends an unparalleled (excluding Artosis) amount of time compared to others at analyzing high level play. Seems like a fairly useless/inane statement considering all these things. So wrong. Any top player spends more time analysing top play than casters. | ||

(Paraphrase) One of the worst tournament formats I've ever seen ~ Day[9] State of the game stirring the pot on GSL format changes. Considering Dan is one half of the English stream casting, maybe the higher-ups in GOM will start a new discussion on up/down Code A / Code S matches. Just a thought based on how easy it was for artosis to state that he disliked the format ~~ maybe others at GOM have this thought/feeling. | ||

The same ideas seem to be getting stale.
