He would then have to play Rotterdam in PvP, which is Rotterdam's best matchup and coinflippy as hell, and then Stephano, who nobody would be surprised to see 2-0 Tyler. Losing to CatZ essentially knocked him out of the group (and tournament) barring a miracle. | ||

No, even if Catz has lost and Tyler forfeit after that, they will still give him the win (aka walkover for everyone like as if that game was never played) | ||

You can't just pick and choose when a mental illness is going to take hold. Or are you suggesting he shouldn't accept any invites on the basis he might not feel up to it? This is assuming that he did pull out because he wasn't feeling right. If he just did it because he couldn't be arsed, that's a different matter | ||

Forfeiting in the first round is the same level as forfeiting in the finals when you already delayed the tournament by playing in different one? | ||

Remember, he deserves respect from what he did in BW he was a great foreigner. Right now he may be having troubles in Starcraft 2 and what not but before you write something, remember to be respectful he deserves it. + Show Spoiler + To Mods: Perhaps this post isn't needed on my part since I am not contributing to the conversation but I wanted to say it because it extremely frustrates me when I see people just go "Oh tyler is bad" or say things that are disrespectful. | ||

That's pretty much how all group play tournaments in all sports and sc2 works, so i assume they would do the same thing | ||

Of course I can stop writing in the middle of an exam and walk out of the door. And I will get exactly the appropriate points for the correct solutions I have filled in up to that point. And I won't be deducted any points for walking out 1 answer short. | ||
