bboongbboongi, so cute k GGs hope Oz plays MVP next round and stomps him. ^^ Oz continues to show that he is a very good protoss. Everyone likes to talk about Hero and Sage, but Oz is just simply better. He is a very well rounded player too. Eh idk how Oz is in practice but right now HerO is MUCH better on his stream than he plays in tournaments. He just has that oh so common problem of underpreforming in tournaments, hopefully that will change sometime soon and we can see a full power HerO in GSL matches. Still, <3 Oz. | ||

Like when MVP was in a 3-way 2W2L tie in Group A, he had beaten both the other 2-2 players, so he advanced, and there were a lot of people crying about how stupid that is... I don't get it -.- How is beating the player you're tied with not a legitimate way to tie-break? | ||

If BB forces CoCa into a 2-2 tie, then they should play ANOTHER game to determine the winner of that tiebreak is all I'm saying. | ||

Nah people just decide on the fairness of a system based on whether their favourite players get through. A protoss got through today, so there are less complains then when MVP got through. | ||

That's actually just a roundabout way of saying that it's a crap system. When MVP was down 0-2, and beat the other two guys and advanced, it's actually the exact same situation - even worse, in fact. So, there's no difference between MVP's situation and BB's - only you perhaps paid attention to the scores this time. In fact, when MVP played Polt, he was 0-2, and Polt was 2-1. When MVP played Line, he was 1-2, and Line was 2-1. I'm sure NesTea's group was similar. | ||

It's not crap, it's not bad, it just makes sense. It's perfectly logical the way they have it. That match was for second place, regardless of the scores of the players, so whoever won that advanced. I can't even see how it's a bad system. | ||

Let's say you and I are playing against each other. I am 1-2, and you are 2-1. I defeated you. But I advance? How come? We both equally lost 2 games and won 2. Yes I beat you. But you also beat someone I didn't beat. Why me? Why do I advance? | ||

Poor Bomber Well bomber lost both matches due to stupid moves really. But it seems that TvP is getting back to normal winrates. Even MC has been beating MVP consistently, maybe it isn't that imbalanced after all? | ||

How is that confusing, are you trying to suggest that transitivity holds all the time? (A<B and B<C means A<C). You both won two and lost two so who advances is decided by the result of how you and your opponent matched up directly | ||
