With only a week left in the the Round of 32,  Trap, Trust, as well as BlizzCon 2016 finalists  Dark and  ByuN, met to see who would snatch up the next two coveted spots in the the Round of 16.
Initial match 1: Dark took a 1-0 lead with a quick roach/ling all in, but took a bit longer to wrap up the series. Roach aggression put him at a supply deficit on Abyssal Reef, but Dark transitioned to lurkers which dismantled Trust's stalkers and colossi.
Initial match 2: Having gone down 1-0 to proxied void rays and tempest on Catalyst, ByuN canceled Trap's third in game two. Trap responded with phoenix/zealot, adding in archons and immortals as he built a lead. Up more than 30 supply, he crashed into ByuN one last time to take the match.
Winners' match: Trap’s tempest play took game one, but Dark evened the series with a flood of hydra/bane in game two. Trap planted a bunch of shield batteries outside Dark's natural in game three, but his adepts were eventually overrun Dark’s zerglings, queens and spines, sending him to the Round of 16.
Losers' match: ByuN moved on to the final match with a quick 2-0 over Trust. Early harasssment set up a marine/tank push which ended game one. Game two went a bit longer, with Trust getting to three bases, but ByuN set up a familiar siege on Abyssal Reef, setting up a rematch with Trap.
Decider match: ByuN pressed the issue on Blackpink, but Trap defended expertly while harassing with zealots to take a 1-0 lead. ByuN’s aggressiveness continued in game two, but Trap held before counterattacking with blink and charge to earn a spot in the Round of 16.
Dark and Trap advance to the Ro16.
Next match: Saturday, Jan 27 4:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Group G: Stats, Impact, jjakji, Classic

Awesome strategies by trap.

To Team Liquid Staff:
Would it be possible to announce results the NEXT day ?
Give some us some time to watch the VOD without it being spoiled as soon as you visit Team Liquid.
Thanks for considering.

Always the same messages ...

At least Parcelleus is willing to figure out how the spoiler box works/why it isn't working for him. Looks like some functionality updating might be in need, default for non-logged-in is spoiler free perhaps?
Way better than the other comments I've seen that stare at the spoiler box and complain about spoilers anyways

Traps play, especially his army splitting, was amazing.

The link to Liquidpedia in the top of the article doesn't seem to be working. Otherwise, thanks for the recap!

Trap played very well. Glad he made it out.
|
Yeah you can't say Trap didn't deserve it. Game 1 of decider's match was a sight to behold. Sad for ByuN though.
|
Great, great games today. So much tension and action. Trap played really well

Byun is out in the Ro32 again, lol. Blizzcon curse confirmed, no Blizzcon champion can make it past the Ro32 of the first season

sOs? or being 2-time champion means that 2 curses cancels each other? (same way 2 negative numbers in multiplication make a positive? )

Not to mention Life actually winning GSL after Blizzcon 2014.

Really happy that Trap made it after Bunny fell short. Impact's chances are looking good for next group too.

Meh, let's call it an LotV curse

Yea the spoiler timing, even for somone who has been going to teamliquid for years, is super annoying.
I kind of just pop on teamliquid as part of a morning routine, but of course am not logged in 100% of the time, so if I ever forget that a GSL group happened the night before, its spoiled.
This happens every thread because its poor design. If you have to tell your users that they are doing it wrong every thread, than it's probably not the User's fault.
Just have the spoiler tag be opt out for the first week after an event has happened and youll reduce a lot of grief. Unlike most sports, knowing the result of a match seriously ruins the watching experience, as you know how a specific build is going to work out in the end before it happens, which takes away a lot of the entertainment

I just tried that for fun (as I don't need it), and it doesn't work where I'm watching for news. The left side bar doesn't get spoilers, only the Community News at front page (where I never look).
edit: NVM now it somehow works, lol.
