Some kespa players are very good though. Close this thread it's not reddit, and this is a wrong title. User was warned for this post | ||

2) Snipers 3) Maps 4) Proximity of the top level of competition 5) How well player does on the day People always think 5 isn't a thing. Like a player's skill rises or falls as opposed to players just having a fantastic day vs a terrible day. I mean Yonghwa fails to get into Code A every day of his life and then proceeds to become WCG KR champion against far harder competition. Still a bracket tournament. Maps basically the same. He just did better on the given day. Anyway, it's still notably early days of proleague. And the only Code S mainstay listed (Taeja) has been on a downturn. Injury related I believe. But still. | ||

Without this format it becomes a very difficult situation. Cheese becomes even more dangerous  | ||

Taeja is 6 2 and have wrist problem, kespa players are doing bad in GSL. Some kespa players are very good though. Close this thread it's not reddit, and this is a wrong title. Any esf player in this title? it's a title only about proleague and 7 proleague players who going to play in code S. | ||

GSL gives players a week to practice a specific matchup vs a specific player who they can research? Without this format it becomes a very difficult situation. Cheese becomes even more dangerous proleague matchup and starters announced every Thursday,they have 2~4 days to prepare a match too. | ||

vs Best of Three (3) Is the reason. You put the Code S guys vs KeSPA guys in BO3 format and you would get closer results. Stephano i doub't would of lost the games he did if he played in a BO3 format. | ||

(always view it both ways  People have been asking this, note all the up and down recaps from this season and last season. This is the first time I've seen someone ask it the other way around as to why Code S aren't doing too well in Proleague. | ||

It is simply a matter of different practice priorities. For all PL teams bar EZ-TL (sorry but their current standings somewhat warrant this) proleague is by far the most important tourney, and its not even close. If you have proleague games to prepare for vs. UP and DOWN hell with 5 bo1 vs all three races i think it is obvious what PL teams decide to focus on. Doesnt mean that they would absolutely crush all competition all competition with 100% effort dedicated to GSL, but by watching games you have to admit the average game level is at LEAST the same as code A, if not better. This is bound to happen with this kind of format where "high skill gap" match ups happen often yet majority of games are still somewhat close. I mean Rain in Code B vs Huk in code S, go figure. | ||

Yep code S players are not in the top 10 elo of proleague, but does all the "top10 elo" code S player play in proleague : not really... It's not like if they all had really negative stats btw, worst is HuK and I'll be surprised if he manages to go through ro32... After there is the map/training/kespaisjustsuperior explanation, but I think the "code S" players are doing pretty well... | ||
