Why is anyone angry about the option to vote?

For our game to live, letting some nobody like me help shape my own future content seems smart.

I, we, are shaping our own event. Beyond Bangladeshi troll farms defrauding the vote - I say anything goes.

Re: post above mine.

I think a better player should have zero more rights then you.

Keep voting and if your guys or girl wins - please watch. Eyeballs keep the sport alive.

Happy Democracy you sexy fawks.

Read the post more carefully. It was literally just a thought exercise. I didn't take a stance either way, and explicitly stated I was happy with the current system.

Ah, sorry. The way your initial post came off it sounded like you were accusing me of trying to suppress voter rights and subvert democracy or something lol.

Btw, if voting ended now this would actually be a pretty strong tournament.

- Dark, Maru, Classic, TY, soO, Stats, Trap/PartinG, Inno
- Serral, Neeb, SpeCial, Reynor, Scarlett, Showtime, HeroMarine, TIME

That's a Code S Ro16 right there.

No for Showtime, heromarine, Scarlett and time.
No for Parting who out of the last 4 Code S was in the RO16 once.

Innovation and soO in slump so hard to say if they're ATM RO16 caliber(usually they are though)

I mean how can you call Scarlett RO16 Code S when she tried and failed every Code S this year? She ended 3rd, 4th and 4th IIRC in RO32 groups.

You have very interesting criteria for the ro16 tier pros.
So it's someone who consistently makes it to ro16, but does not advance any further?

What's your criteria then? My criteria is that they have to have the quality to reliably get to the RO16(and beyond)
(I mean Code S RO16, obviously, when the discussion started with Code S RO16 post)

That's why I mentioned soO and Innovation may not be RO16 players NOW but they are on paper as they usually get in. Now is the key word(ATM in this case doesn't mean the machine tha eats your card and doesn't give you money but At THe Moment ).

Scarlett in 2019 isn't CodeS RO16 player. We can argue about her qualities oversea, fine. But we have the evidence from Season 1 to Season 3 RO32. She never made it. Parting made it once out of 4 cases. That means he's not where he used to be(Parting award, hello?). He's a RO32 player with a great promise but he's not there yet.

Showtime, heromarine, time? Where do we have any evidence they're good enough to pass the RO32 test? No offense to those players, but how can we tell they're good enough to be on the level of Code S RO16? Tell me why you think these 3 are RO16 Code S players material. What results made you think that. I don't think so, they haven't been to Katowice main event which was 24 players nor they have been to Code S. I give a leeway to Serral as he's obvious top player similarly I give a leeway to Neeb, Reynor and mjr Special(who actually qualified to Code S RO16 and not just once).

I don't think I'm being mean or harsh, but let's hear your side of the story

Edit> BTW you didn't miss it's about Code S RO16 quality, did you?

I dont know, the current standings seem absolutely fine for me.
It's not like you can vote in casual streamers and fan favorite semi-pros. Parting is on the Korean poll-options because of the WCS points. He accumulated more than Zest or SoS this year. You dont like the Blizzard/WCS system, that's fine, but it is their event, they can do it according to their own point-system.

Saying who are the best at the moment is an absolutely impossible task, since it's so easy to say X or Y is in slump cuz he blows out from one or 2 tournaments, so he's not among the top player ATM (but might get to the finals when he doesnt get knocked out, and suddenly people are calling him the best who ever was).

Locking the top of each race, then narrowing down the options based on the point system is as good a strategy as you can get, as long as you want to get that fan-voting element in there.

The Korean roster seems very very strong, even if Parting squeezes in as the 8th player (which isnt certain at this point). As you can verify for yourself, not every GSL code S ro16 roster looks like the 16 best players in Korea (or in the world), so let's lower the standards just a tiny bit, each selection process has its ups and downs and its upsets.

As for the foreigners, obviously we dont have 8 players who could reliably beat the Korean roster, we have 1-4 players who might actually make it to the finals (they are all locked in), and as for the 5-8 seeds, based on the current standings, they are all people who have taken games and series off of top Koreans in the past year (except, big Gabe, i guess, but arguably he found his mojo only recently, so I wholeheartedly agree with him being there this time around)




But that was not the point. I just said this isn't the quality of Code S RO16. I didn't dispute the rest and I mostly argue about foreigners and Parting. So why do we have this discussion? It appears there's no disagreement. Probably some weird planet constellation turned us into misreading each other
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Amazing comeback by Trap. He is far better than Stats or Parting right now tbh. I would love to see Trap beat Serral in this event.


Same. I think last time they met at a tournament was at Katowice last year where he almost 3-0'd Serral. But that was right before Serral went into overdrive.

I voted TY,Solar,Trap
TY is a fun player and performed very well recently, and Trap deserves a seat as the third place on the WCS Korean list , the reason for voting for Solar is his new video, he tryed hard to canvass in Chinese and promise to donate his 20% bonuses to charity

Keep going let’s get Trap the Protoss seed: he should’ve been seeded.

Very weird looking at the FanTaSy vote: I don’t think he should be in based on this year’s performance, which is what I feel we should be voting on. Name branding isn’t everything here.

I believe the Korean qualifiers should be Inno, soO, Trap and Stats, and the World reps HeRoMaRinE, Reynor, ShoWTimE and Scarlett. Based on the voting perimeters that feels like the correct result.

Either Trap or Stats can be seeded in a "normal" way - the second will be part of a "lottery", depending how many votes other guys are given.
Trap is performing better this year - but Stats is way better in context of whole carrer. I have given Stats a vote.
Trap has similar position as soO - both have been hit by Blizzard's rule changing. However soO is not complaining about that and nobody on this forum is sorry for him - at least no one express it that much as for Trap .

While I'm writing, Fantasy has surpassed Inno; pretty unexpected, I love Fanta but Inno is a more competitive player.

In any of case, four Terran would be too much considering WCS representative will at least have other three; keep voting Trap(and Stats), please.

Not quite sure how you can say we ought to be voting on this year's performance and then say Inno ought to qualify, barring WESG the dude's been mediocre at best.

He's the best performing Terran in that list though...

By far better than Gumi or Fantasy this year. And by far better than Bunny in *any* year. You could maybe argue TY is on par, but Inno has a bigger trophy and otherwise similar results. Cure the only reason to include him is because he has been tearing it up online and looked strong in the GSL Ro32, but he hasn't gotten at all far in any major tournaments.
