I would only consider about 5 out of the 16 to be "top-tier". I would have very much preferred if WCS season 2 and PL players were not used, because quite honestly, none of those players are playing that great. In addition, I would have preferred if they did multiple qualifiers for it instead of 8 smaller brackets, because those brackets had some serious imbalances. Just LOOK at the Innovation, Zest, Parting, TY, Stork, Mvp, Symbol, Ryung bracket. Then compare it to the one Sorry and Super won. I'd have actually taken any of the Ro8 players from Zest's bracket over Sorry or Super. Currently, this upcoming GSL is still many tiers ahead of the Kespa Cup, despite the Kespa Cup's goal being to have "the best players around the world". Also, Flash better win this. | ||

Flash is on the rise and the only players that has a chance of stopping his rampage are Bomber, Rain or sOs. In my dreams a in form herO takes him down in the semifinals to go on and win the whole thing vs sOs going proxy =D I predict Flash, Bomber, sOs and Rogue to do well. Hahaha, because making it through the stacked KeSPA cup and IEM Toronto qualifiers and making it through his Code S Ro32 group just fine obviously means he is nearing his downfall. | ||

I was sure it was "invites only". Thx. Will check this. | ||

Also Polt is not better then Reality I don't think (blah blah blah, results in foreign tournaments, blah blah blah - spare me pls). EDIT: Or you just didn't see Sorry play in the RedBull qualifiers, that's totally understandable then - but you'll be in for a surprise. How about 9 code S participations of which a bunch of top 16 and 1 top 4 finishes, a GSL super tournament win, 2 WCS titels AND results in foreign tournaments? No? So far Sorry has played decent in a few online qualifiers, Reality's current top 16 Code S run is his best achievement in 2 years. That doesn't even begin to compare. This anti-foreign Korean wankery is getting tiresome. | ||

I'd love for you to name those 7 as I've just pointed out the huge overlap with this tournament you think is so off the charts. Are you really arguing that Life, Taeja, Jaedong, ... aren't top 50? That's ... an interesting opinion. | ||

Sounds like you didn't watch any Super in PL TT Oh well. I think Super is much better than you give him credit for (at least better than Mvp, Symbol, Ryung from your example and possibly Stork) but I guess it doesn't really matter because he is getting fed to soO first round | ||

Assuming he takes the redeye outta LAX that night, he lands in ICN afternoon of 9/11... for a match the very next day against Rain. At least KeSPA was nice enough to not make him play the day that he lands, but I still fear that Bomber may not be in top form when he absolutely needs to be. | ||
