They play each other on ladder and practice with each other ALL the time. I understand that if they had a week to study their opponent it is going to make for a better timed out build, however even if they were to find out 5 minutes before the game they would still know each other's styles well enough to not get romped.. Come on guys, give them some credit. They will play well and there will be good games, and it will be fair for both players... They ARE the BEST players in the world after all.... Should be a fantastic weekend for SC though. IPL 4 was AMAZING. IPL 5 should be even better!! ![[image loading]](http://pcdn.500px.net/6881291/0fa06878b8b1aea18b7b6b6a1993d1552102e0ac/3.jpg) One thing you're leaving out is relaxation time. You have to win 3 matches to become the champion. Instead of having about 4 weeks to prepare and relax, you're doing this ~1 a day. There's less time to prepare mentally. However, I'm faithful enough in GOM to believe that they have thought this through and they don't think it should be too bad. | ||

I consider Game 7 of MMA/DRG to be the greatest SC2 game to date. | ||

GSL is a completely different beast and the hottest player doesnt always win. Also lets be serious, 99% of people thought MKP would win season 2 and we all know how that turned out. | ||

If they want an all=stars of foreigners, they want Huk because he did achieve a lot even if right now he's not at the top anymore. And if they just want the best, there are 1000 european players better than Scarlett | ||

That being said the only real awesome part of this announcement is the 5v5 special event. | ||

TO BECOME A GSL CHAMPION you have to endure any situation any time, that proves what a true champion is. I LOVE the idea of having the GSL RO8 and GSL World Championships at IPL5. Quit being whining little beaches, and actually show some love to GSL for even coming to IPL for fuck sakes. I would agree, but I kinda want to be able to see the GSL finals, and so far IPL has not deliverd. | ||

Also from the looks of it, WCS Korea is making GOM look for a way to fit everything that is announced/planned for 2012 to complete, this saves them some 3weeks(almost one month). | ||
