you have to show up to lose the title. No match = no change.

if he would have been in the game and left / forfeit / gg it would count


*edit: more reason to follow MLG now


Oh I see. If he takes time off for whatever reason, he'll remain the unofficial world champion? Haha, good exploit.

Why is the World Champion title handed out for winning the GSL instead of WCG? o_O


If we waited for WCG there would be no world champion for the first 15 months of sc2 ;o


Yeah, but the GSL has very little non-Koreans participating in it, whereas the WCG is the WCG. It just seems weird and out of place.

i don't think anyone would consider WCG a better/more important tournament than GSL

either way i'm pretty sure it would be where it is right now anyway even if we did start with WCG


It's probably simply:
MVP wins WCG
Leenock beats MVP in MLG Global Invitational
Jjakji beats Leenock in GSL November <-- already in the current line

mvp at wcg

drg > mvp in blizz cup
stephano > drg
mc > stephano
drg > mc
mma > drg

puzzle > mma in code s
gumiho > puzzle
drg > gumiho

and then it goes back to normal

(i think)


What matters is what the first official LAN game was. Didn't someone said that there was an IEM or something before the first GSL open? That would count as the first official match...

other 'world champs' don't start from the first tennis game ever played or the first soccer game ever played, haha. they start from the first major title ;p

If you were to make a 64 man tournament of all the best players in world I would say probably 50 of them would be Korean.



hahaha 62 of them would be korean.

we will know the world champion after wcs finals. This "o he won this then Y beat him after that so he gets the title is pretty much bullshit. WCS is the world championship series and whoever wins the final is THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

This isn't about the best in the world. It's about the unofficial world champion!

True enough, but tomorrow, he should start facing some real competition. I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose the title, nor would I be surprised to see him hold onto it throughout the tournament.
