A lot of the fan base really don’t want to see either side win. I think there's only a handful of 'real' haters out there—Dark and JAG are just easy to root against in a for-fun way, but most ppl respect them at heart. The true, corrosive hate people hold inside their souls is reserved for Protoss  | ||

Extremely unlikely to happen but its not 100% locked in and that certainly doesn't help his appeal to the MMA... Time is of the essence and the earliest he can be sure of his spot is if Hurricane loses to Dark on Saturday. If that doesn't happen he needs to qualify for Super Tournament and if that also doesn't work out he needs to not come last in his GSL group. I am not sure there are enough points left for this to happen, honestly. | ||

Would be great if Dark could finally win a GSL too, he's been a top-tier player for so long that it's a little surprising when I remember he hasn't won one yet. | ||

There is something infuriating about losing to Protoss that is not there in the other matchups. | ||

You need to keep in mind that soO and Maru are automatically qualified as is the S3 champion. Dear needs 3475 points to tie with Classic (2nd GSL3, 3rd/4th ST2), Stats needs 2850 points (3rd/4th GSL3, 1st/2nd ST2), herO needs 2825 points (3rd/4th GSL3, 1st/2nd ST2), Trap needs 1050 points and Dark needs 825 which can both be done this season. The situation only gets worse if Hurricane beats Dark and/or wins the finals (Hurricane can outright surpass Classic). As much as I don’t want this to be the case, he has yet to ensure he’s qualified for Blizzcon. I was wrong about him being 100% locked in if Hurricane loses this weekend though. I think the earliest he can be sure is after the Super Tournament qualifiers are over (I somehow completely forgot about the tie with Dear which is why I was worried for Classic in the first place  | ||

Anectodally, it has never occurred for the the eight spot in GSL to have more than 6400 points, you shouldn't reasonably worry! I guess you are speaking of Code S season 3 qualifiers? | ||

It is almost impossible for him to not qualify. My main concern is with how the MMA could respond since hes technically not qualified yet. I recall Classic saying the sooner he secures his spot the greater his chances of his trip being approved. Not sure what the situation is now. Really want to see him playing and hopefully winning Blizzcon this year! Super Tournament qualifiers is what I was thinking of (if Hurricane loses to Dark). I think they held them in between the Ro4 and finals last time think so they should be announced fairly soon. | ||

(liquipedia says the tournament is September 26th through 29th) What should be happening soon is info on GSL vs. the World. | ||

Him and soO are so disgustingly deserving of GSL title, it's shocking how they haven't managed to win yet. Maru was in the same position before last year. On a similar note, if Dark somehow loses on saturday he'll have matched Maru's record for most ro4 finishes in GSL. | ||

While Tasteless likes to use "hex", both SC1 and SC2 do not use hexagons. The map is divided into squares. | ||
