Code A: RO32 2-1 RO16 2-1 RO8 0-2 UpandDown: Match 1: 0-2 Match 2: 2-1 for a total 6-7. In fact July almost did exactly this in his run to Code S, except he won his last match 2-0 to give him a 6-6 record. With the new groups-of-five system, this will no longer be possible, as you will have to at least 3-2 to make the top2 in your group. Whether or top you can advance with an even record will depend on how tiebreakers will work, and whether it will be a true round-robin group format. | ||

Once your MMR rises high enough so it puts you up against players above your league, you are close to promotion. If you beat them more than 50% of the time, you get promoted (that's obviously oversimplified, but it gives a general idea of how that system works.) Let's say we have John. John is a decent player, nothing special. He wins about 50% of the time, maybe a bit less. He keeps losing to players above his league, he demolishes most people within his league though. Within his own division, he steadily gets placed around 5th place. Let's just assume the 4 players placed above him all simultaneously go on a losing streak. John, meanwhile, keeps his win rate constant. That would soonly make him the number 1 ranked player in his division (as his rating wouldn't change much, while his fellow players would drop a lot of points due to their losing streak), without actually having progressed towards his promotion. I hope this example explains why your ranking within your own division is irrelevant, as it's dependant on the other people in it, while your promotion is only dependant on your own win rate. If you already knew that or I got something wrong, I'm very willing to edit/delete my post.  | ||

The symbol ᄌ is J in Korean, so GG can be ᄌᄌ, ᄌ on the korean keyboard is the same place as the english W, so WW instead of ᄌᄌ(JJ, thats why you hear "JAY JAY" instead of "GEE GEE" The actual character for where G is on english is ᄒᄒ so you might sometimes see that. But ᄒ has the sound H so that wouldn't make much sense :p In conclusion ᄌ is a J sound = ᄌᄌ = JJ so GG WW = position for ᄌ on korean, so if you have english on its WW GG = You know what that means :p ᄒᄒ = Where G is on korean setting so ᄒᄒ = someone trying to type GG but with korean on instead of english | ||

I personally have a grudge against this unit composition. Not necessarily. A lot of Terrans live in fear of gateway units with enough sentries. Basically, until army supplies get beyond 40, forcefields can easily de-fang any Terran bio push, and possibly clean up most of it with minimal losses. After that point, however, things get dicey on both ends. Protoss, with proper macro, will always be 1 warpgate production cycle ahead of Terran because of the warp-in to cooldown, but pound for pound, Terran units beat Protoss without FFs. As the mid game approaches, these aspects can balloon to give each race the advantage. For example, 6 gate pushes can be especially devastating coupled with a FE Protoss, because it capitalizes on this warpgate mechanic (frontloaded production cycles). Meanwhile, the more common example is the early-mid game MM(M) composition coupled with high aggression (to force more gateway vs rax battles). | ||
