Oh chrispy you so troll

From canada, enjoys long walks on the beach, loves candle lit dinners, and above all a big fan of SCII... Either chrispy, or chrispy's soulmate.

Hello,

Apparently, some people are upset because I raised a concern to Chauster about what an admin told me regarding the WCG Qualifier Finals for a trip to Korea. I would like to ask you guys to put down your pitchforks and calm down for a second.

What happened was that we beat CDE in the Winner's Bracket for WCG and they got sent down to Loser's bracket which they beat Curse in and came into Championship which they had to play against us. Going into this, we believed we had a one game advantage, meaning that we had to win one game to Qualify, and that CDE would have to win two in a row. We were feeling good going into it but CDE played amazingly well and crushed us twice in a row. From this point we believed that CDE would indeed be going to Korea and while disappointing, we accepted that we got out played.

The recent issues that have emerged is that someone who participated in WCG Canada told me that the rules they should have used in the Championship round for Canada was a weighted 3 set system, with the winner's bracket having an additional set. I thought that this was curious because everyone believed that the WCG USA was a single set, weighted best of three with a game advantage to the Winner's bracket.

Naturally curious, I sent a WCG admin an email wondering whether the finals were supposed to be single set or three, and received a response telling me that we would have to play an additional set to determine the winner of WCG USA versus CDE. I was naturally shocked about this and brought this up to Chauster in private who was shocked as well, and brought this up to the rest of his team. I simply restate what the WCG admin had told me and while we were both confused, I tried to rationalize why they would have this policy for the Championship match for the National Qualifier even when the rules stated that it would be a single set best of three.

From this point on, things went out of control and people started spouting off nonsense about us trying to cheese out another chance at qualifying for Korea. Make no mistake, we would have loved to go to Korea, but we understand that CDE out played us in the final round and deserve to go. We by no means demanded another set or tried to act shady, I just brought up what the admin told me to Chauster.

I would really appreciate if you guys calm down for a second and reevaluate the situation from our perspective without the bias that obviously angered players from the opposing team may hold. Make no mistake, I would be angry in their situation as well.

Personally, I believe that the admin was simply mistaken and that the finals are finished, and I have sent him a follow up email to please read the rules and make sure what he is telling us is correct. We are waiting on a reply but we are confident that CDE will indeed be going to Korea to represent the United States.

We wish them the best of luck and to have fun in their endeavors. I apologize for the confusion.

Sincerely,
Voyboy of Team Dignitas

I'm confused why are you guys talking about WCG Canada again? Didn't CLG already qualify?

Back a couple pages there's a link to Rinoaa saying that both the WCG Canada and WCG USA would have to complete the best of 3 sets format.

For CDE that means they are tied 1 set to 1 set with Dignitas with one final best of 3 to play to decide the winner.

It's unclear what that means for CLG Canada. They're up 1-0 in sets and 1-0 in games in the 2nd set. They just need to win one more game, or win the following 3rd set in order to "re-win" the right to go to Korea.

Of course, with all the mistakes between WCG and Riot, Rinoaa might have NO idea what she's talking about. But that's what she said.

I don't get why the upper bracket winner would get a 1-0 lead if they are playing it in terms of sets. They are just mixing the two types of tournament format up. The standard double elimination format from what I've seen in volleyball (something that I officiate) is that the winner from the upper bracket needs to lose 2 matches (or sets in WCG's case) before they're out since that's the definition of double elim - you need to lose twice in order to get eliminated. They also just need to win once (so it's like a 1 match advantage) to be the champion since the lower bracket winner has already lost once to be knocked down in the first place. The reasoning behind a 1-0 advantage is so that they can finish the grand finals in 1 bo3. So now they're giving the upper bracket winner a 1-0 lead and a true double elim format....it's just way too stacked.

Alright well from what I know..

Our team knocked Jpak to the losers bracket, CLG knocked us to the losers bracket, we thought we had to beat CLG in a weighted bo3 (so they would have to lose twice, us only once) so we pussied out and forfeited(? not even sure tbh, suddenly we were out of the tourney afaik.. maybe our leader did something else) vs Jpak and friends (and there was a bunch of Jatt shenanigans, but we had 6 players so it didn't truly matter. Jpak and friends then had to play a weighted bo3 vs CLG, lost their first game and CLG wins da tourney??
