I also think i remember hearing rumors that he cast qualifier replays for koreans in past seasons. upmagic... i try to forget about everybody involved in match fixing

DaezanG is real. He commentates for the GSL now. It's his post-name change name (just checked).
Up used 사기수 before the name changes so no idea if it is him.

Wish UpMagic could play in GSL. I remember getting all hyped when artosis did a video on him last summer.

I have no idea what to think anymore I guess Protoss players are good laddering race but not good enough for GSL level? I guess the game is still early. I feel laddering strategies are not the ones used in GSL. Yes, if you let protoss macro and get huge ass army, it is unstoppable. But I doubt people like cheesy stuff on laddering. In GSL, they probably do whatever gets you a win.
I watched Fruitdealer vs Tester practice game. Tester is such a brilliant player with so much "wow" factor. I mean, he man-handled Fruitdealer pretty badly, even if the latter was traditionally expanding all over the place.
But then, in the last practice game, against some Toss, Tester chose Terran. And you know what, he crushed a relatively big protoss army with a combo of marine+marauders+2 ghosts. He used these two ghosts to EMP the sentries and that's it. The protoss army with zealots, stalkers and 3-5 colossi went down to marine+marauder. It was pathetic. I mean, Tester played well as Terran, but this shows the pathetic balance of game. As a protoss, if you put a force-field wrong or get EMPed by a ghost just before a fight, that's it, you lose no matter how good your army composition is, you lose to freaking marines and marauders.
I doubt in laddering they are bothered with such stuff, but everybody knows how to stop toss.

looks like tester has dipped in winnin percentage. Could you guys find out if he was playing only Protoss? Because his Terran is sick. His M+M combo is deadly :D

moonglade at #122... dono why all the ops chose to leave him out of the 'notable foreigner' list.... racist against aussies imo...

It's so weird top 200 shows sizable amount of Terran and Protoss but yet GSL is dominated by Terran and Zerg.

Presumably GOM is banning the match-fixers as well under their eligibility rules:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=141496
Eligibility
- You must be at least 12 years old. - You must have your own Battle.net account. - You must fill out the registration form on the website. - You must be able to participate in the offline preliminaries. - GomTV can deny your participation if you are found unfit to be a gamer.

Huk is 70 already? Sweet. I guess it has been over a week..

Pretty vague rules right there. Unfit to be a gamer lol.

I like how Idra, Haypro and Jinro are all in the same division at 5, 6 and 10 respectively.
|
Wish xiaOt tried for some of the GSLs, he's probably got some sick protoss play (haven't seen any games recently though).
|
Looks like CheckPrime has the least bonus pool among top 200.

Nice thread Can't wait to see all of liquid in the top 100.

Gah, I have to say...although I respect and appreciate that many pro-gamers want to play under their real name or just under a name with korean characters, it truly sucks that I can't recognize many of them after the name-change.
If anybody is interested: I managed to identify #7 엔에스피지니어스 as NEXGenius and #11 티에스엘킬러 as SangHo
