A shocking news was delivered on Fomos reporting that Tester (Seo Gi Su), one of the dominant Protoss of SC2 has failed to advance into main round (RO64) in GSL 2.
He lost to Terran user, Kim Byung Jun (FlintZenith), clan member of Zenith, in offline elimination round on Oct. 11th.
Tester beat Ye-Jun-Hee and Kim-Min-Je with ease to advance to elimination round final.
All seemed to be going well for him, but it he suffered a defeat to a hidden foe, Kim Byung Jun.
Kim Byung Jun defeated Tester 2-0 with his own unique timing rush and advanced into the main round of GSL 2.

Wow im shocked/sad to hear this :\
|
wow, unfortunate...I wonder if he had a chance to research his opponents
|
First I hear that July didn't qualify, and now no Tester?
This news saddens me.
|
Wow. I thought Tester would get through with ease. :S
|
Nothing to be ashamed of if the games were legitimate. I'm kinda looking forward to see how Kim Byung Jun plays.
|
Who is this guy? Also anyone know of a comprehensive list of the current qualified people? Are quals over?
edit: this guy meaning the guy who beat tester, not tester lol.

That really sucks 
Kinda the nature of SC2 atm. Stuff is new so if something relatively new comes around and a P player is playing trendy (tester is uber this way) it can get exposed.

GSL needs seeds so freaking bad.

I highly doubt that this is about "the nature of SC2" or exposure of Tester's "trendy play". Probably just cheese or, as the ever-euphemistic Korean eSports media calls it, a "unique timing rush".
Note: "cheese" not used to blast Tester's opponent. A win's a win duders.
|
If this was not done with cheese, but a legit skillful timing push, he will be fun to watch in GSL.

Should had been seeded =(
|
wow hopefully there's an interview with tester that comes up. I'm interested to see what he has to say about the games.
|
It's time to recognize that this tournament format is very random. It's not a precedent. Great players were leaving GSL1 very early, and in each round. There's also to be expected very little repeatability, meaning that those who did well in GSL1 won't necessarily do well in GSL2, and vice-versa.
|
This sucks but as people have said it's not at all surprising. In a game this young upsets will be quite frequent.
|
Darth Vader would definitely "NOOO" about this. I loved how TSL was so dominant last season...100% of their members in the RO16.
