Do what you gotta do to win. Well, Daisy and finale did not lose in BO1s, but in BO3s. Beastyqt defeated finale, and KrasS (German Terran on NewRoSoft) defeated Daisy. | ||

For the next seasons they can do Bo1, fine. But this is the first season so I was hoping for more. Anyway Bo3 starting Ro128 isn't so bad. Thankfully with the GSL format, anyone who lucks their way into Premier/Challenger and doesn't deserve the spot will be weeded out quickly. Hopefully all of the best players make it eventually. I would not make a big deal out of it. Its not like we will observe it in the future. Those direct-to-premier qualifiers are a one time event. They had to do something, to fill the remaining 8 spots in the beginning. Of course they could seed all 32 spots, but it could create community outrage. Like you said, given time, situation will settle down on its own thanks to the unforgiving format, season after season we will get to the best player base possible. Gratz to Happy and Dayshi! | ||

I think people assume they would roflstomp a lot of players and take all the top spots. Frankly, I thought they would do the same lol but I'm happy to hear that EU can hold its own. I doubt NA can tbh XD | ||

They are doing 4 qualifiers to make up for the BO1s early on. If you lose in a BO1 4 times, you really have no excuse. | ||

We might not have the players that can reach the Koreans peak, but EU has a lot of depth and a lot of players that know how to play the game. Now take into credit that the Koreans also play with lag and you shouldn't be suprised if they lose at all. Doubt it will work out as well on NA, because a) NA is inferior to EU and b) there are more Koreans and c) lag isn't as bad as KR/EU. There's really just DemusliM I hope for. He would really deserve a spot in my eyes. | ||

Gotta make excuses for korean players somehow ^.^ On April 15 2013 15:03 Shellshock1122 wrote: guys i think the only way to make it fair is to do 1024 player round robin to seed all of the players with everyone playing each other twice just to make up for fluke wins. then do bo7 quintuple elimination brackets I don't know, did you account for random power spikes creating unplayable lag for the korean players that somehow doesn't knock them out of the game, forcing them to play through it? Thirty five times in a row? You should really take that into account. Bo9 might work better. | ||
