Proleague level is still far behind, and the format is different, and ESF cant play proleague that they would dominate. 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.

1) Best of 1
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.

surely, the most important reason is they don't know who they are going to play... 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

Another thing to consider is that for many of these young progamers, Proleague was the WTF AWESOME that made them BECOME pro gamers, and the BW legends they all looked up to play in it (Flash, etc).

If that doesn't give you nerves in the booth, can't imagine what would.

The game's volatile and it takes a while for there to be large changes in the makeup of code S. Huk and Nestea are in it atm and do/would get rocked in proleague.

The most obvious reason: KeSPA players are on salary primarily for proleague - they don't spend nearly as much time preparing on GSL.

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.

Everyone has good days and bad days. Some players vary more than others, but in general a tier X player having a good day will beat a tier x+1 player having a bad day.

Bo1 should increase the noise (a short-term deviation), but not the overall result compared to a Bo3 format.

the current code S system is different.

Counter question: Why are the top proleague players not doing well in GSL? Seems they are not Code S level ...

(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.

Most of those Code S players were invited weren't they? Only one I know of that wasn't is Taeja who is going through wrist problems I think.

This.

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.

'EZ-TL' is still ahead of 2 teams in overall rankings.

I find the question a bit missleading...
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...
