Today's Code A was kinda boring, expected better games from TSL Rain

I ended up missing the first three matches of the night due to something coming up. I thought I would be able to catch at least two full matches, maybe two and a half but I guess with all the easy sweeps I missed out on a lot of good action.

Rain's always been known as a cheeser, hence his negative reputation from GSL3 and onward. Cheese can only get you so far as a player.

If there was ever a night to watch the GSL Code S tournament, tonight would be that night. Games start at 2310 HST, please adjust for your time zone.

GSL Code S Round of 8
Best of 5 series

oGsMC (P) vs. HongUnPrime.WE (P)
ST_July (Z) vs. oGsNaDa (T)

Anyone feeling the nostalgia of Nada and July?

Going with MC and Nada tonight, despite July's amazing ZvT record in the GSL thus far. Sure his two wins against IMMVP may have been cheesy, but outside of that he's still 6-1 in ZvT matches.

Plus I want to see those Razer headset lights burn out with Nada's crazy APM!

Game 2 of MC vs. HongUniden is one that will forever change how the Starcraft world views PvP.

Nuff said.

At least it was exciting for once! Had to question the loser's thinking on that one, he had an easy win. If the loser wanted to go for the win, he should have went double assimilator instead of one pylon.

GSL Code A Finals on tonight! 2310 HST, please adjust for your time zone. All matches are best of three. Games will be casted by DoA and KellyMilkies.

IMLoSirA (Z) vs. LeenockfOu (Z)
SlayerSAlicia (P) vs. oGsSuperNoVa (T)

Leenock needs to get back into Code S, I think he was unfairly singled out for the up and down matches last season. His dominant play so far shows that he's easily deserving of going back. With that said I think he wins over Losira.

For the second match, Toss players have been cruising through the GSL when going up against Terrans with very few exceptions. For that reason and based on Alicia's play in his past few matches, I'd say he takes it over Supernova.

if you are talking about the Xel naga cavern's game, HongUn had 350 minerals and a probe left after his base was wiped out, so he could've warped bunch of stuff everywhere on the map, assimilator being the best choice of course. He probably panicked.

Brings back memories of Uniden.

Daniel Beaver · « **Reply #312 on:** Wed, 09 March 2011, 08:28:32 »

Day[9]: He's trying to go for the kill, but he's gonna get blocked by Uniden! Uniden does make the block! Uniden... Oh my god Uniden's in a slightly better position, he's going to have a bigger concave. This means that Uniden will be able to win the battle, but his opponent has a lot of speed zealots, he needs to re-position that properly, he needs to be very careful how he does, he's gonna back up... no don't do that Uniden! Uniden no.. nooo Uniden, he's gonna kill your pylon... UUUNIDEEEN!!!

So classic. We need more funday mondays.

I often wonder if Uniden is even aware of his popularity due to that game.

GSL Code S Round of 8, Day 2 is under way!

Two Protoss versus Terran games tonight.

NSH_San (P) vs. sCfOu (T)
AnyproPrime.WE (P) vs. FOXLyn (T)

Cheering for San due to the whole underdog story that he has. Cheering for Lyn in the other game as I don't want to see a potential PvP final

Yeah, it is a crazy turn around. Though I am seeing more sloppiness in his play, at least at points last night.

Fwiffo · « **Reply #323 on:** Sun, 13 March 2011, 15:50:12 »

Splitting the ladder? So, like people with the expansion are on a different ladder than people without? I guess that makes sense if they introduce new units to multiplayer or something.

Yeah... It will divide the community though. Also, I feel like it not really being an "expansion" any more but rather a whole new community.

Daniel Beaver · « **Reply #325 on:** Sun, 13 March 2011, 16:32:10 »

Don't they have to split the ladder out of necessity? Besides, any serious players are going to buy the expansions.

True. I guess it would require an upgrade by everyone that does not want to purchase the expansion otherwise.

that's what they've been doing for the past ten years, with the expansion out the multilayer would be entirely different, a separate ladder is necessary.

vun · « **Reply #328 on:** Sun, 13 March 2011, 17:03:22 »

Hmm.. True. Guess I didn't take that into consideration. But I'm curious about the old ladder then, since I'd assume a lot of the people who play ladder care enough to buy the expansion.

AndrewZorn · « **Reply #329 on:** Mon, 14 March 2011, 16:54:42 »

They should split the ladder. There will be new units.

They should NOT, however, try to convince me that adding some models and triggered maps means a "new game" worthy of "new game" price.

Yah! This was my previous intention when I posted... I guess there would be more campaign to play, I just can't see a justification if they make it full price.

How come?

After my 8th 1v1, I already started getting matched up against masters. If you're already ranked in other leagues, I believe they'll use MMR from those leagues for your first placement matches. I got matched up against a diamond in my first 1v1. If I'm already winning consistently against masters, 100 games seems overkill. Personally, I think if someone goes > 50% against masters over 30-40 games, that's reliable enough for me.
