Even though it was professionally handled. Race picking should be banned from all tournaments. I dislike the idea of players covering their weak match-ups with a different race. I am definitely rooting against Morrow from now on.

Anyways, as for the interview videos for Koreans... It was a bit cringe-worthy but raw emotion shown through and it was beautiful. Zenio was pretty good. Liked how he expressed how painful the times were for him. LOL

I enjoy people picking races, but to play devil's advocate a little, what if players had contradicting issues with the picks? Say July doesn't play ZvT, but instead prefers PvT ZvP and ZvZ, thinking ZvT is broken. Morrow plays TvZ, ZvP, and ZvT... how would that work? Forced ZvZ as it is their main races? Coinflip?

MorroW is allowed to play TvZ , since he's declared it well in advance of the finals. Startale has been notified of the change, but he can't switch back to ZvZ.

That's really all you guys need to know.


So ZvT, ZvP and TvZ all the way through? Seems reasonable to me.

Although from a fanboy point of view, I think mastering the mirror match-up is part of what defines 'the greatness' of a player. Like Nestea wouldn't be Nestea if his ZvZ wasn't so dominant.

I don't see what's unprofessional about allowing race picking. In fact, most other tournaments do allow that, like Dreamhack or MLG (and MSL and OSL in BW iirc). In MLG you can even switch your race after every GAME...

Also, you throw one matchup off the list and add another, so you still have to practice 3 matchups.

I can imagine this situation becoming troublesome if it becomes a common thing or a matchup becomes viewed as particularly weak for a certain race or on a certain map.

If one person person plays Z but won't play ZvZ and another person plays Protoss unless it's Zerg then he plays ZvZ...there's going to be a conflict and one person will get his way while the other will be screwed.

Nice interviews, I am hyped! Still a little bit sad that there is no loser bracket, so many players flying around half the world just to play one series.

Wait, there isnt one? Thats crazy.. wtf O_O

Win a league that goes for months, get seeded vs one of the top terrans from a qualifier because you won, without a losers bracket?

Ahhh...

Hmm, I guess it only makes sense if one of the two players is race picking and the other not.
I have no idea how tournaments would handle a case where both players are race picking, both probably would have to play their standard races.

But for now this is a non-issue, as almost nobody ever does race pick.
MorroW is obviously pretty good as Terran as he played it as his main before he switched to Zerg, but I don't think there's a lot of players besides him, who have a good enough off race to risk this.

The korean interviews were sick, some of them are really improving a LOT at English. July's was a touch harder to understand but my favourite. He seemed the most confident speaking english, and I loved his attitude in it ^_^


Still... my prediction having looked at the brackets is MC winning, but I think Ret has a good chance if he plays as well as he did throughout the season.

Even though i'm not a Ret fan and don't particularly care, I have to agree it's rather harsh of the format to be this way, considering the player coming out of the open, regardless of who it was, was going to be super strong.
