What 100K tournaments are you referring to? | ||

Now everyone is mentioning it like common sense stuff, although it's clear many haven't watched enough PL to fully understand the dominant players, trends, meta changes, and pressure cooker that is the best team league in the world (by far). | ||

When you ask any KESPA player, they will agree that herO is number 1. But you need to ask primarily Korean ladies. And even Maru's mother is saying, how handsome is herO. | ||

Category Innovation sOs Advantage Blizzcon Championships 0 2 sOs GSL Championships 2 0 Innovation IEM 1 - Gamescome 1 - Katowice sOs Proleague 72% Winrate 2015 Tied Most Wins 2014; 61% winrate, 2 all kills 2015 sOs WCS Season Championship 1 0 Innovation 2nd Places GSL 2013; Dreamhack Bucharest 2013 2013 WCS Season 1; Red Bull Battlegrounds NY 2013 Even Minor Tournament Championships None 2015 MSI; 2014 Hot6 Cup sOs 2013 GSL Top 4, Top 16; Top 4, Top 32, Top 16 Even 2014 GSL Top 16; Top 8, Top 32, Top 16 sOs 2015 GSL/SSL SSL: Top 32, Top 32, Top 8 GSL: Top 8, Top 16 SSL: Top 32, Top 16 GSL: Top 4, Top 16 Innovation The big difference is sOs’s Blizzcons, IEM Katowice and 2014 Proleague vs Innovation’s 2 GSL’s and WCS 2013 Season 1 Championship. Most people are weighting GSLs higher than Blizzcons, so I will give the argument for why Blizzcon should be weighted higher: 1. It is easier for a player in Korea to make it to the Ro16 of GSL than to make it to Blizzcon. Thus, only the best of the best from Korea will make it to Blizzcon. 2. The “foreign” Koreans at 2013 Blizzcon were still in their prime and defeated all of the GSL Koreans in attendance (except for sOs). 3. 2015 Blizzcon was stacked with the best Koreans due to the double GSL/SSL tournament system in Korea. sOs defeated Parting, Rain, Rogue and Life. Innovation lost in the 2nd round to Life. 4. The pressure of winning on the big global stage is greater than in the comfortable confines of the GSL studio. 5. Money is the most objective measurement of a tournament’s significance, and it can be safely assumed that players will put the most effort into winning the most money. Even if you weigh Blizzcon and GSL evenly, sOs comes out ahead in other categories. Innovation did not play in 2014 Proleague, while sOs tied for most Proleague wins that season. Innovatoin’s other championships are WCS Season 1 2013 and IEM Gamescom, while sOs won IEM Katowice, 2014 Hot6 Cup and MSI Masters. Winning a WCS Season finals is obviously top tier, but winning IEM Katowice and a Hot6 Cup outweighs it. It’s close, maybe even closer than sOs and Life, but I think sOs gets the slight edge. | ||
