So maybe I could be wrong on my opinion on Supernova. But when it comes to code A final, I got the feeling that Losira was fooling around a bit since the difference between 1st spot and 2nd spot in code A is simply the title (and maybe $50 more prize money) 1st/2nd of code A get treated equally in all the other aspects. They were entertaining games, for sure, but I felt there just wasn't the tension that you normally see in regular code S matches. | ||

Only players I was impressed with from last season's code A and Team league are Alicia and Losira, and not surprisingly they are in Code S this coming season. | ||

Pretty sure 1st place Code A got to pick their entire group for up/down before 2nd place Code A. With the way up/down matches looked last season, that's a huge perk. And IIRC, LosirA rolled through his group no problem while SuperNoVa gave us a scare by dropping his series against Polt. Just thought I'd toss that in there...that while the difference in prize money is insignificant it's all about how easy it is to make the jump to Code S. | ||

San is by far my favorite Protoss player and while these days it's not easy for me to root for Protoss player but his games are so nice and entertaining. (Alicia is another one I enjoy watching) I think Jinro definitely has a shot but both my brain/heart say San. | ||

If he makes it out of his group, he's a total baller because he made it out of the GSL May group of death. If he doens't, then it doesn't matter because none of us will think any less of him for losing to players of that calibre. He's definitely got the skills to win though. If he plays his best he should make it out ... not easily, but without a ton of hassle. Jinro fighting! | ||

Here's why: 1. Tal'darim has always been noted as one of the most notable and favorite of the original GSL maps, but yet, recently it's been becoming flagged for being a bit Terran favored due to the cliff at the natural. With the original, at least the third has no rocks, and while it doesn't make the natural any more defendable, it gives players the option to easily expand to the third while sacking the natural as opposed to directly dealing with the tanks. 2. Why on earth is there a "ravine" between the main and the third, which you can't get to without drops/nydus? Only Terran's can put the ravine to any good use. I'm not saying Terran's are imbalanced on this map, but if there won't be a purpose for that piece of land, why add it? 3. Tal'darim Altar is one of the most visually appealing maps, but yet the Ladder Edition dumbs it down and removes the doodads around the main and the natural. It's not such a big deal, but I think that the LE is a much weaker map than the original. | ||

Having too many different versions of a map being used all over the place just adds confusion for both players and spectators. I believe GOM considers the changes made to Altar not a big enough deal to use their own version over that on the ladder. Unlike with Metalopolis and Xel'Naga Caverns, apparently. | ||

I think it's really great that the GSL creates new maps from season to season, just to mix things up. Sc2 would be kind of boring if we'd had the same map pool every time. | ||
