I enjoy this format (AM/PM groups) than the new GSL format.

Yeah I wonder why no one is using it anymore? That mart was kinda dying though so maybe it finally shut down?

Deliberating whether to attend the qualifiers. Would be nice to LR from the venue but on the other hand I have a couple of final essays due by that weekend.

Decide now to attend and worry no more about it, make it 100% time you won't be able to put towards your essays. Now you have a better idea of how much less time you thought you had to put it off and procrastinate.

Time management!

Yeah it's probably Korean cast only for the qualifiers again. Kinda worth it though, the Korean casters are awesome.

That map pool though.

What's wrong with that? All qualifiers for SSL/GSL did that this year.

Bo1 is generally a terrible idea in a game with as much variance as SC2. Especially now in a new game that's barely starting to get figured out.

I figured single elimination means "Lose one bo3 and you're out" and double elimination means there's a loser bracket. And that sounds okay to me.

Just because it says only the semi finals and finals are offline does not mean Tastosis won't be casting from an empty studio

The qualifiers for Code A weren't broadcasted though in 2015, and I'm not sure that's gonna change (although who knows, nothing of the sort is announced).

Sir, I hate playing the game as it has became so silly and stupid as everything revolves around how the viewer see the game not how the player play the game. I enjoy watching Korean level SC games. All I did is saying "I hope" to see no seeding for foreigners so we can see the highest play level possible.

After all, StarCraft II is meant to be watched not be played. "AND THIS IS MY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE. FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE".

Thank you.

If nobody plays you have nothing to watch though.

Even if a foreigner is seeded in, that doesn't have to be detrimental. The game hasn't stabilised enough for Koreans to be infinitely better yet.

True if you are speaking about the fun aspect. But pro players will play no matter what because money on the line. I enjoy the high level they present.

Beside, even if the game is not stabilized yet for them, they still have much higher level, check DH and compare the results.
