But it's also hard to just *come up* with something better, i would for sure *set* some players in (WCG participants/quarter finalists or something, winners/finalists of other tourneys...) and then have a ladder where *the rest* can brawl it out. Or just have a *closed* ladder with no non participants playing an important role. I just hate to think about the fact, that some people that probably could and would qualify, just lack the time to do it right now. Well, will be awesome anyway  . | ||

You misinterpreted MorroW's quote... what that line means is that a player whose opponent gets away with 12 nexus is in bad shape. | ||

But the chance that he wins isn't extremely high (as in close to 100%). He is not invincible, there are several people who have a noteworthy chance of taking him out in a boX, including any kind of nonstandard play that may catch him off-guard. Assume that he gets into the top16, then, to win the tourney, he has to beat 4 players. Assume that he has a 90% chance of winning against each of them. The chance that he wins the whole tourney then is 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 = 0.6561, so less than 2/3rd. And I honestly doubt that he has a 90% chance of winning against each of the players he will face. If he had 70% against them all, his chances of placing first would be down to 24%. 70% was chosen arbitrarily to show how quickly the overall chance decreases. I don't think anyone can give reliable values for this. | ||

I understand what you're saying but that's not what I meant. Theoretically, he is better than (almost) everyone else in the top 48, yet, if he were not to place on #1, I'm pretty sure he would lose somewhere on the way from top 16 to top 4. That's what I meant. And that's not really based on chance, since it's not BO1 and he has way more practice time/etc, it should be a sure thing. But it's not. It's way safer to be top 4 directly and only have to beat 2-3 people for a lot of cash, than risking to lose to someone in the top12, who can take you down 2 games out of 3 even though you would probably win a bo9 against him. That's what I meant. It's not like it's Bisu or Jaedong there, of whom you are pretty sure that he won't lose a bo3 against anyone in the entire TSL. That is all I meant about the #1 top foreigner not being such a sure thing. If it were, then TSL wouldn't be so fun now would it? | ||

"just cause u let ur opponent 12nex doesnt mean uve lost ur just in bad shape go vult fe armory fac aca ebay gas and ull end up with more econ and faster tech than if he didnt 13nex. so all and all he will win on it but you will also be further ahead than a normal tech tree xd its playable" "doesn't mean you have lost", "go ____ and you will end up with", "you will be further ahead", are all talking about hypothetical situations. Thus the "you" is a hypothetical "you" as well: anyone who lets the Protoss gets away with a 12-nexus is "in bad shape" for that game. | ||
