I mean maru, gumiho, stats, zest play Ro8 on Sunday and winners play Ro4 3 days later while Neeb and TY plays on Sep 8th, which conflicts with WCS Montreal. If they swap the dates then Neeb avoids the schedule clash while the other side of the bracket gets more time to prepare. They should swap dates also because they just swapped so Maru could go to Asian Games. If Neeb beats TY though, he should definitely skip Montreal to prepare for GSL finals to make history. | ||

Artosis said on the Pylon show they are already working on scheduling around Neeb's conflict with WCS Montreal. | ||

But is Rogue actually known for his "genius and creative play" Wasn't he the first person to do this? | ||

I am not an expert but not playing to your strenghts is actually a very poor plan for any competitive athlete. Well, he was known for strategies and builds in HotS.

They give INno 3 medals when he goes into matches, not four. GOM also wanted Mvp's to count I guess, but that was purely for G5L hype. | ||

Rouge is known for his genius and creative play, in the past that's what defined him as a player it's only recently, like last year that he started to bring his mechanics up to the level they are today. Rouge used to be the Zerg that did all sorts of weird but smart builds that allowed him to win games. I think his loss is more attributed to his smart plays not working out vs what been brought than anything else. | ||

GOM also wanted Mvp's to count I guess, but that was purely for G5L hype. Mvp's wasn't GSL vs the World, it was GSL World Championship and was specifically referred to as equivalent to a GSL Code S by GOM from the start of 2011. GSL vs the World was never advertised as that and never treated as that by Afreeca. The biggest difference is, of course, that GSL WC was qualifier based (even if the qualifiers were pretty dire for its time), and GSL vs the World had players who were invited. If WC was held today, it obviously wouldn't be counted by Afreeca, but it was always intended to be a GSL at the time, unlike GSL vs the World. | ||
