Even here on team liquid we have seen numerous calls for rigging the qualification brackets in favor of the fan favorites. In my opinion that is kind of sad. I believe that e-sport can only be accepted as a real sport when there are fair and public draws like in other sports. But this is only a minor problem in comparison to the danger of match fixing. The few hundred Dollars players get in the first stages of the tourney compared to the huge market value of a star like Boxxer makes match fixing look extremely tempting. Sorry, a lot of great tournaments in other sports are using seeds to prevent major clashes. Look at the 2010 WC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_seeding And I think it's ok to treat Boxer/Nada as South Africa aka important participants. | ||

Just read that the number of users that brought down gomTV was much... much higher... ...props for correcting yourself, but holy shit did you REALLY just compare BoxeR's viewership/fanbase to Day9's? Also SMH at the guy earlier who compared him to HuK and Day9...sigh... | ||

Posts like this make me giggle. "OH SURE 10K PEOPLE NO PROBLEM they suck for not being able to handle that many. oh. nearly 1 MILLION? I can see the potential problem now." | ||
