But zest doesn't even have a good pl record
He had the most wins in round 1 along with INnoVation, and the raw amount of wins is what they go by.

If they wanted a different approach, they'd have to take the difference between the number of wins and losses for each player. But sorting by wins is obviously easier. | ||

However, I struggle to come to terms with Zest getting it (7-8 overall) over Byul (9-5 overall) I think this was done from the proleague round 1 results, hence the selections | ||

Well, I reckon counting round 2 makes no sense because round 1 is over, round 2 isn't. There are still a few weeks for players to ruin/improve their round 2 record. | ||

I suppose I personally don't have an issue with it because I think he's better than his qualifier results. Ironically Zest failed in qualifiers for years in individual leagues (while doing decently well in proleague) and then he qualifies for the first gsl, and wins. He then goes on to be the best player in 2014, and recently after making an individual leage (IEM Katowice) he wins. It should say something about the difficulty of qualifiers and the difference between them and televised matches I'm glad SPOTV has introduced seeded players because it removes some of the perceived randomness in qualifiers and the disconnect between televised performance and performance at a pc bang | ||

I'm just happy Losira is in with his 5-1 record ? Zest had the most dominant year since Mvp's 2011. He's the best player of 2014 by far. | ||

Gsl champion Gsl super tournament champion Kespa Cup Champion Ro4 GSL S2 2nd at IEM Toronto Ro4 GSL S3 Ro16 At wcs finals (lost to champion life 3-2 Ro4 Hot6 Cup 20-16 in proleague, KT beats SKT and wins the league. Should be fairly clear he was the best player of the year | ||

He didn't win the most money in 2014. he didn't win the most tournaments. He's up there for sure and probably was the best player of the year overall but don't compare him to 2011 Mvp. In 2011 Mvp won 2 MLGs, WCG, Blizzcon, and 3 GSLs. Not to mention smaller tourneys and team leagues. | ||

Ok first you say you think it's ok because his losses in the qualifiers aren't legit. So people who we think are good who fail in qualifiers we should just seed in. GIVE SOO I don't get your second point "It should say something about the difficulty of qualifiers and the difference between them and televised matches". Are you saying qualifiers are harder or easier? Either way, they're something all players have to get through sooooooo what Zest shouldn't because reasons? Also your point about IEM doesn't do much for me. Your third point leads me to believe that you think Zest is a bonjwa in the booth and he only loses in qualifiers because playing not on a stage is random. Huh. Guess that's why he is sub 50% in SPL and lost Hot6ix, Blizzcon, etc Anyway I think Zest is very good and deserving of an invite. I don't agree that they arbitrarily decided to cut it off at round one and just go by wins not having a winning record but hey what do I know. Also Zest was the best player of 2014 imo | ||
