I would like to wager thousands of liquibettable cash on that, July has shown an extremely middling results as of, his entire sc2 career. He's shown some sparks of brilliance, the victory over Mvp in the first match I'll give to him, the second was an all-in luck (which can work once in a while as seen against Bomber in the Startale ICCUP battle when he did the same bust 5 times...and it worked once). His other victories have mostly been mediocre and is definitely a situation where I think Tastosis' bias plays more than it should. In other words, I think he is like a poor man's Fruitdealer - even more volatile with even less solid mechanics in the late game. That being said, he has a shot at beating Clide - but I can almost guarantee the win he will get involves a baneling bust. Edit: On March 02 2011 05:19 Turgid wrote: Why? What's your evidence? This worked beautifully in January. BEAUTIFULLY. It also worked beautifully in BW starleagues. As far as I'm concerned, it worked beautifully here. There were upsets because players lost their games, not because a system tainted with the stink of unfairness forced them to lose the 2 games necessary for getting knocked out. I'm perfectly fine with upsets, I didn't mind that Nestea/Boxer went out to San (deservedly so), but when the vast majority of all up/down players from last make it to the Round of 16 this time and essentially reverse with everyone...it's a bit much, it's not just an upset, it's confusing. A star player going is one thing...when the Detective, the King, the Emperor, and the Genie drop like flies it's another. | ||

Even the best players lose sometimes, especially in the type of format the GSL has chosen. The truly good players will be just fine. | ||

He only vortex'd half the army and then just cleaned it up with the archons. SanZenith straight up outplayed his whole group, which no one was expecting. Seeing Ensnare make it out of the group wasn't as big of a deal. No one expected NesTea and Boxer to be 0-2 for sure. I think a lot of people missed it... but he vortexed all the overseers so the ultras couldn't see the archons and attack them, which is why most of the ultras disappeared by the time the units were released from vortex. | ||

But doesn't the overall better quality outweigh this? I agree with you 100%, my OP wasn't to complain about what's going on. It's simply an observation based on what we've seen so far this season: Stunning upsets, and higher-level play than any other GSL! | ||

 Now that I think of it his ro32 was just recently, wasn't it. Thought he went to ro16 heh...Glad Kyrix won. It was like a rematch from the semifinals of GSL 2 =O Edit: Oh, MVP actually beat Kyrix but Kyrix beat 2 others to get to the top. Nice Hurray Tester! Hurry Kyrix! Poor Genius Poor Fruitdealer Glad that Kyrix vs MVP was set 1, so I can watch And seems to be all of Kyrix's games were entertaining :D | ||

I know what he means, I immediately knew too without ever clicking on the thread. It's the wording and the timing that does it. When you know people like Nestea, MVP are out and see the title of this thread you know how the sentence ends. The timing tells you that there was at least one more big upset today, and then you know MKP is out. | ||

If there is a problem it's in the match-ups. If you end up in a group with only terrans, it's easy to prepare as it's just one match-up. If you end up in a group with all 3 races, it's a lot harder to prepare, and you are at a disadvantage. | ||

I'll vote option 1 and 3. Sure, there were some upsets, like NesTea and MVP. But seriously, who expected FD and MKP to go through in dominating fashion? What have those two players even done recently or what matches have those two played recently to suggest they are still the top of the top? Same with RainbOw, Genius, Zenio and InCa. With players like NaDa and July, they have already shown their champion mentality in the past with their BW achievements, so it was always likely IMO that they would be able to step it up a notch with every GSL. BoxeR was an emotional upset, not really an unexpected upset IMO as one can't really expect him to compete at the very top with the amount of other engagements he has nowadays. | ||
