A few USA chants are fine but please don't do it too much. Stop the stupid USA arguments, thanks. On another note, CDEC flairs are now live. Sorry about the delay on that. | ||

Why do you have to put them in groups except to boost your point of arguements? Puppey is in Team Secret, not Team Estonia; Iceiceice is in Team VG, not Team Singapore; Fear is in Team EG, not Team USA.... etc etc etc. | ||

Takes any meaning from the championship. Having to have the loser's bracket claw at it and earn it through the advantage - THAT is a story and a hype moment. If you do that in a format like DotA where the Bo#s are pretty low (3 and 5) then you're almost always making the Winner Bracket Finale the tournament finale. If both teams are entirely even in skill then the one from the LB will only win 25% of the time which is incredibly anti-hype that 75% of the time they win. Even worse even if the WB bracket team is worse because the # of games is so low they still have a really high chance of winning because the loser bracket team's skill won't necessarily come through in such a small sample size. Fighting games and the like can get away with WB advantage because you're often playing like a bo5 of bo3 which is way more games. | ||

Their safety net is not having to play extra sets. How is this hard to see? | ||

At the time, iG had better players on positions 1 through 5 who could play all the top heroes of the TI2 meta while Navi's drafts were severely restricted by XBOCT not knowing Morphling, Dendi not knowing TA or DK, Puppey being lackluster on any non-junglers, etc. Watch game 1: wasted song by XBOCT and 0 heroes sonic wave by Dendi were the absolute highlight of that for me. Then ArsArt failing to zone bear resulting in easiest offlane of YYF's life. Then nyx pick by Puppey and general play in that last game. | ||

Do people not say "Koreans win" when MVP wins? Do people not say "Chinese win" when CDEC wins? The West is one because its teams don't care about getting people only from the same country. Therefore, one says "the West wins" when Western teams win. | ||

It doesn't take any meaning from the championship in my opinion. How are we going to decide who's right and wrong? Also, you as a SC2 fan should know what winner's bracket advantage makes for pretty shitty finals when the WB team wins a game. Valve, considering that, decided to give no advantage to the team coming from the WB. So now we have two options: either we make a single elimination tourney or we make a double elimination with no advantage to the WB team. Which do you think teams prefer? | ||
