It was after as I seem to recall myself raging that Nestea continued to play muta while Snute more intelligently went ling/infestor WITH the new spores.

You're correct, they played their match a week after the spore buff

Most interesting match here is the First v Fantasy (not that I am in love with all things Protoss!!~~)...First will take it with the beautiful elegance he has crafted as his mainstay...

There are 4 groups, 4 players in each group. Every player in a group will face every other player in that group in a bo3. The two players with the best records determined by series wins(before tiebreakers) will advance to the ro8.

Unlike typical GSL style groups, we're not doing one group per day but instead matches from multiple groups per day until all the games have been played. It's done this way to allow the players to prepare for each individual bo3.

I think he means how it's being broadcasted, the 1 match per group being played every day.

Question 1) If in case of 3 way tie, is it decided by the aggregate amount of games won/lost? Similar to a goal differential in Football/soccer?

-for example, Players 2,3,4 get a series score of 1-2 (whilst Player 1 gets 3-0). Although their series score is the same, Player 3 may have lost 1 or 2 less games than Players 2 and 4. Is Player 3 immediately gets 2nd place in their group?

-this situation is unique to me because in BW OSL round robin was Bo1

Question 2) Following on, if there is a 3 way tie. Is it still a Bo3 during tiebreakers, or Bo1 like in BW?

Map score isn't used as a tiebreaker. Not sure if it's Bo3 or Bo1 in tiebreakers, though.

No Fantasy gg timings? I can't remember exactly who it was against but in one of his latest proleague TvTs on Korhal (pretty sure) he lost every scv to some reapers early on and tried to fight come back with a hellion, mules, and two or three marines

Light vs. Fantasy, about a week ago. 6:21 last SCV dies, 10:45 gg.

Alright, the Bomber's Law joke is starting to get seriously ruined. The point of it is, as you explicitly wrote, is that Bomber will throw stuff after being super hyped and considered the favorite for something. Nobody is hyping him to win the tournament. Nobody thinks he is even the favorite to advance from this group. Every player will win some games and lose some games. To get eliminated in the Ro16 is not a case of Bomber's Law at all, unless he kills it against Bbyong and continues to be awesome, only to throw away everything and not advance by a tiebreaker or something, and even that is pushing it. Simply losing to the players who are by far the favorites of the group is a terrible application of Bomber's Law.

It's also just lazy writing I think.

Yeah, I can't consider Bomber's Law upheld less he gets out over Bogus/Flash and then dies to Hyvaa or something xD.

Or he goes where no Bomber has gone before and makes the ro4+... then Bombs out.

I could take one Bomber preview, change a few words and use it for every Bomber preview for the rest of time.

Pretty sure that's what they've been doing since he won Code A. I don't remember anything different ever being said about him.

I laughed out loud at Bombers Law..... so so so true.

I still remember his demise in WoL code S when he was insistent upon killing a spine crawler with 10 hellions.... which he didn't do... and didn't kill drones... and was kicked out of code S.

Format is interesting. If there's a player you like, you have to watch multiple nights, whereas with GSL it was just one night. Not great if you're busy.

I think the 480p vods are still going to be free on twitch. So there's that at least.
