What is it with Zest getting elite Protoss opponents in Code A? Last season it was Parting, this season it's Classic.

Solar vs Gumiho if Gumiho was at peak condition would be a SUPER close and epic series, career wise I see the two as very even. But Gumiho just got back from the military so I have to believe Solar is highly favored this time around.


Your comment really doesn't make much sense. Classic and Gumiho are in the exact same situation. It's so similar I can literally do this.

Zest vs Classic: if Classic was at peak condition would be a SUPER close and epic series, career wise I see the two as very even. But Classic just got back from the military so I have to believe Zest is highly favored this time around.


Oh I'd agree that Zest is still favored for the exact same reason Solar is, my comment is just noticing the pattern that Zest is now facing what should normally be 2 automatic Code S Protosses in Code A in back to back seasons.

I can't remember the last time Solar and Gumiho faced off, I honestly can't since Solar spent a lot of his time during Gumiho's prime stomping around in the other regions. Now back in GSL, he faces Gumiho in what I would consider to be Gumiho's best match up.

I'm just making two different observations in the same post. I do not think Classic is favored at all vs Zest, but I would still nonetheless consider him to be an Elite Protoss. Very few Protoss players have anywhere close to the kind of championship pedigree he has throughout his career. Ironically, Zest is one of those few.

I HATE Code A format

I quite like it. Even though it's probably less fair to the competitors it can create some high drama matches early on in the tournament, which is nice when a lot of the group stages in the prior format could be pretty cut and dry unless there was a major upset.

I would prefer two groups with 8 players who all have to play best of twos against each other and the four players with the most points advance.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

GSL has always prioritized drama over anything else. That's why the Group Selections is still a thing. GSL survives by feeding off of the drama. Western Fans should understand that by now.

I don't like the code A format also, seems very unfair for some. I also understand that the first round with multiple bo3 like we had before can be too lengthy with very unevenly matches.
A good compromise would be 4 players groups, with 2 bo1 to determine the upper and lower players, then bo3, like in ASL. Two good players could come out of tha 4 player group while still expediting the process a bit.
