Polt went 0-2 in Code S ro32. No, Naniwa's legitimately bad in the matchup compared to his peers like Hero and MC. But Naniwa is very good at preparing for a specific opponent and mindgaming them, which is why he beats Nestea and was able to beat Leenock after losing to him at MLG. However, he beat a DRG suffering from food poisoning and DRG has beaten him over the head with vastly improved ZvP ever since. And let's not forget about the losses to Hyun and Slivko and Nerchio and Zenio and Haypro and Ret, which shouldn't have happened if his PvZ was really that good. | ||

GSL is the most elite in the world - just like Korea is the most elite SC country in the world. But 100 times easier? Like, it sounds like a common Korean colloquial saying taken a bit out of context (I'm Korean), but seriously, it's like he's saying it specifically to rile up any foreigners that might be reading the article, without the knowledge that we DO INDEED read the crap coming out of everyone's mouths. Guy needs some PR lessons. | ||

Probably because he lives in Korea? Do you actually think before you speak? If you actually think Dreamhack's line-up was ANYWHERE near Code S quality you're delusional. I could pluck like half of the Code S line-up and have them crush 95% of Dreamhack participants, that's just the truth. He didn't say that Dreamhack was easy, he was saying that GSL is harder... and it is. On April 27 2012 06:04 bmml wrote: He's correct but his sample of tournaments is quite stupid, Dreamhack was organised so that the best players would come out toward the end, compared to MLG or IPL's open bracket it was extremely forgiving. Also saying "foreign tournaments" as a generality is pretty retarded, its quite obvious that an MLG or IPL with 10+ Koreans over a weekend isn't 100x easier than GSL. Guy is unfortunately neither tactful or knowledgable about what hes talking about. It's called hyperbole >_>. 10+ Koreans (some of which are not top tier) vs 32 of the best Koreans, GSL clearly is still harder. Not to mention you can often avoid meeting good players for quite a while if you're lucky, which just doesn't happen in GSL. He shouldn't have worded it so strongly, but he's still basically correct.

(Which is still valuable but relatively valueless comparing to, say... "Squirtle's Opinion"...) So in the end, your opinion becomes no big deal... That logic makes no sense. He got 3rd in Dreamhack and came nowhere near 3rd in GSL. He has played against the competition from both sides and is basically 100% correct in what he says. | ||

So in the end, your opinion becomes no big deal... That's why that kind of statement with nothing to back it up makes you look funny... Because in the end we all know that, it is the fact that GSL is the hardest. | ||

sympathetic I think you mean empathic/charming/friendly. its a so called 'false friend', because in german theres a very similar word ('sympathisch') that means something entirely different. | ||
