I find this to be really bad decisioning by ESL. They just gave someone close to the cutoff a random seed in IEM, which made this possible even without having a good run (Revival dropped out in the first round), whereas Nani got second in a tournament that he fought through the qualifier. ESL should really not give people close to cutoff a seed, as this is just not how a tie should happen.
The seed should have been given to Revival in the first round. The first WCS seeds were supposed to be on WCS points, but somehow Flash, who has more than 1 k points less than Revival got invited instead of him. Giving Revival ForGG´s spot, who should have gone to Nerchio does fix this problem, it just translates it. But what should have happened would have been a Line-up with Revival and Nerchio, but without Flash, so we can not really blame it on ESL.

Seriously people, if you're all fired up about pros not been paid money they're owed why don't you direct your attention to the organisers of IPL5 who apparently owe in excess of $50,000 and stop berating a player who may or may not have flaked out on an open bet he may or may not have been serious about.
If you mean the money IPL owes to Leenock, IIRC there was a thread about this a few weeks ago and someone said Choya confirmed that Leenock was finally paid.

Man I really wanted Naniwa to play in blizzcon. Looks like its going to be an all Korean Blizzcon this year lol. Not to take anything away from the players but It would have been nice to see someone that is not korean be up there in the top 16 for the year.
Quoting all these comments for win Naniwa beats Revival
|
I think naniwa has a really good chance since if he advances he'll be playing Soulkey so he's going to be doing a lot of PvZ practice. This is a great build up for next week I can't wait :D

whats all the fuss about foreigners in the finals... i actually dont give a rat ass about the nationality of the players,i just want to see the best game possible with the best players.When i see people say things like **if naniwa dosent win i dont have any otehr reason to watch** are you a starcraft fan or a homer ? ... i mean i understand rooting for your own coutnry player, but now its almost racism toward korean .Its anythign but korean .They happen to be the best at sc deal with ti and enjoy the show .

Naniwa 3-2, cheese game 5 for easy gg
|
I can already see how everybody is super excited and full of hope when Naniwa barely beats Revival, 30 minuets later he gets roflstomped by Soulkey...

I am not a starcraft fan, I am an esport fan
I don't like football, I think the game is stupid, but I love watching my hometeam.
Same with starcraft, I think it's quite a stupid game with a lot of stupidites.
But I love watching a player I love competing.

From 2 weeks ago
Not sure if any progress has come since then. If anyone could link me that topic (with Choya confirming the paid winnings) I'd actually like to know because been conned out of 40K must be pretty soul destroying.

Maybe its just me but I'm pretty sure Revival can get 50 more points for finishing top 8 in challenger league and qualifying into premier which would put him 50 points ahead of naniwa at that point or does blizzard not care and will just do tiebreaker regardless if this is the case I think that is unfair to Revival but not sure how it will work so ill reserve any further opinion for now can anyone confirm or deny my thoughts?

Revival can't get any more points. The only way to finish top 8 in challenger league is to win the bracket stage, which he did not.

Thanks for reminding me I completely forgot they don't do RO16 in challenger league makes complete sense now.

Free trip to Blizzcon seems like a good deal, win or lose. Also more exposure for yourself/sponsors.

Good thing Taeja vs Revival wasn't the first match of the group. Taeja would have been able to beat Revival, throw the winner's match, and beat Revival again in the final match for an easy $500 or $1000. Jesus that awful group stage format needs to go.

Uh just means more great games for me I am happy either way

Why I'm sick and staying home solo next weekend !!
1 - OMG that line-up! brackets on liquipedia
Every one of those 8 starting games is equal to a normal final, anywhere!
2 - the Preparations! : giving us new tacs/meta, all around!
It will be awesome to watch what these 17 pros, preparing hard 1-2 weeks for the opponent, comes up with!
2 - Never been this tricky to predict possible outcomes, intriguing ;-)
and so many to root for :-) ie MC with his superb! play until Dear, took out SoulKey 2-0. Now vs Maru.
3 - It's right now very even between the races!
Battles will be at it's finest, showing the true potential of Hots. A race war, in it's best sense:-)
Comment :
Why keep a format of regions as a structure when it regardless ends up with all koreans?
Will Blizz reveal the new format at Blizzcon maybe?
Maybe reserving spots for 2 players from each region in the World Championship (Blizzcon/Grand Finals).
(as a minimum, together with the other changes like playing your matches within the region etc)
NaniWa!
The worlds best foreigner, probably even all-time best. No 16 in the World!!
Aka DragonSlayer, the only one that knocks down the best Koreans consistently!
We must have Nani in the final of the finals! Someone able of messing up the Korean dominance!
The final is just a few matches away, get SoulKey and the road to Dear in the finals is very possible!
Sry Revival, nothing personal.
Heja Johan, ha det kul!

Lol all this heat against Revival when he clearly performed better in WCS America than Nani did in WCS Europe. Nani practically got all his points in non-WCS events and even then he didn't win one like Revival did.
