The best players arent playing againt total noobs. And what to you mean with gamble? If you know your opponent is a very strong macro player and good at late game then it would be more of a gamble to play a macro game. Being one of the best players in sc2 doesnt mean you hold every all in, not even close. Im just sying its silly to think you can "just play safe" in sc2 GSL/OSL and win anyway because you are that much better. | ||

The zergs who go for roach bane all ins won't be able to be pushed and they won't have a load of drones, so surely it's better to just get those tanks since you're going to be in the same situation you would have been, just with more defense. It's better to play safe and not use coinflippy builds if you want to win. If you lose to an all in which you could have defended then you're not the best player. dude come on.. by the time you push out the zerg is on 5 bases and you are fucked. As i said earlier, these guys arent scrubs. | ||

(2072) INnoVation 0-0 Shine (1176) vs (2072) INnoVation 0-0 Shine (1176) About a 10% difference. Another example (1822) Soulkey 0-0 RagnaroK (1427) (1822) Soulkey 0-0 RagnaroK (1427) Around an 8% difference. Up to you whether you think that ~10% is significant enough to say that Bo1 is unequivocally worse than Bo3, taking into consideration all factors such as time and scheduling. | ||

and I find really strange to change the WCS format during the year but to me it's not an OGN idea or a respect for the old BW format, I guess they just cant have too much SC2 on their TV program for all this time OGN watchers aren't only SC2 watchers | ||

If you think opening with one tank means the zerg magically can take 5 bases then quite clearly you're being hyperbolic to try and "put down" the format that would work perfectly fine in SC2. I've seen Fantasy, Flash and Innovation all at different times open with a few tanks and still do their parade pushes, it's just they don't do it every game and they still lose to roach bane. | ||

But then Soulkey is 13-6 [] Innovation 17-5 yet he hardly loses in BO3s as you are probably aware. sOs arguably the best protoss in the world right now is 10-7 in SPL BO1s | ||

Also one group per day is like 5 sets and you count in a Protoss hevy group and you are done in about half an hour. | ||

How did these players qualify? Is it just the GSL list, or did they also seed some high ranked PL players? Tnx Hard to say who's gonna win with bo1, so random, so let's just enjoy the show :D | ||

Tnx Hard to say who's gonna win with bo1, so random, so let's just enjoy the show :D It's the continuation of WCS Korea S1 (last "GSL"), so everybody who obtained Premiere status there gets to play. Code A will be produced in parallel this season by GOM btw. So by all means it should be a OSL branded GSL, which is the whole idea behind WCS, no reason to mess with the format, you ruin all sense of continuity just for pride. | ||

Blizzard is just allowing them to still call it GSL and OSL. Think of this as OGN running GSL Code S for a season. Which is why I'm so pissed about the format change. If I knew it was going to be Bo1, I wouldn't have bothered buying a ticket from GOM for it. | ||

Well i guess that if i would look at stats the player that wins first game probably wins the bo 3, 70% of the time but still don't like it :/ | ||
