A couple of weeks ago he was playing team games with the SPL casters in one of their shows. It was sad to watch PartinG be the worst player on a team with 2 casters. Btw PartinG's elimination in the GSL qualifiers came at the hands of Sorry, so that tells you some things about his PvT.

I'm pretty sure he had one of his best years after leaving SKT. | ||

The same cannot be said of some other mid tier Korean players like Super or Trap (they are really good players, but you never seriously consider them as championship caliber in big leagues like the GSL). IMO PartinG was considered to be just a tiny step back (if at all) from the Protoss giants like Zest and Rain. | ||

Something I've always wanted tournaments to try, in a DE tournament, have whoever comes from the WB's get a nice bonus and have a non-winners advantage grand finals. That way you're still rewarded and the grand finals are still anyone's game/hype. Kung Fu Cup already does this with a DE playoffs bracket and one single BO7 grand finals. | ||

In the last Kung Fu Cup, before the grand finals Stats had won 2888 $, he only lost 2 and no matches maps in the whole tournament up to that point. TY made 2584 $ before the grand finals. He lost 2 matches and 6 maps total. So basically if Stats lost 2 more maps he and TY would have made even money up until the finals, even though Stats went to the finals through the winner bracket and TY through the loser bracket. Meaning the only advantage the winner bracket amounted to for Stats was that he had to play a few less matches. So yeah, I hope the distribution is looked at again in the future. | ||

It makes no sense to me that the 2nd place player in the group stage can earn as much money as or even more than the 1st place player. And for Kung Fu Cup it's not just that.

I talked about this with xiaose extensively on this issue, and he came up with the conclusion that they are going to keep this as it is. For the winning player he gets to rest more and prepare for easier opponents, thus getting potentially more money than the 2nd place finisher, for the 2nd place player he can win more money but also bear the risk of going out with only one life. | ||

But you can't guarantee the opponents are actually "easier" just because they finished 2nd in their group. | ||
