It's whining about his latest loss which belongs in the QQ thread.

Sure, but the post had more than just QQ in it. On top of that, the announcement only says that QQ may result in a warning and not a ban.

I think this all goes to show why 'seeding tournaments' are bad in the first place. Especially with having separated it into 2 qualifiers. I don't blame the players, I think the admins screwed up with the format tbh. Not that they're horrible people or something (there's way too much of that going around) just that they made a mistake.

You can hardly blame EG and Dignitas choosing for forfeit their games. No team wants to have to face TSM/CLG first round, and the bad qualifier system means that the incentive to win has been incredibly perverted. As much as teams play to entertain their fans, they also play to win. And there's money on the line.

I don't understand why they had two qualifiers in the first place. Just gave teams like Dignitas and Curse who lost in the first qualifier a second chance and now in they even get a better "seed" than the teams that beat them in the previous qualifier. It just makes zero sense.

Send in a support ticket if there's a different name you would like. Just explain that one of the Player Supports changed your name because it was possibly offensive. (I'm personally surprised they didn't choose an even more trollier name. But I guess it was a Brony Player Support. I have an idea who, lol)

Dig needs to win their game vs the "loser" of the DQ fest to get the 1 seed and drop to the bottom bracket. See my post 2 pages ago.

And drop the fanboyism Blitz. Last night Dig tried to FF before they realized they needed to win their game to drop to the lower bracket. No one is clean in this qualifier.

So in case anyone was interested in the breakdown of what the IEM Kiev qualifiers look like at the moment, here is a breakdown.

Apparently it breaks down into a 1-8 ranking from quals 1 and 2, with the teams from the 1st qual getting the upper seed. So for example, TSM is the overall 1 seed (winning qual 1), and the winner of qual 2 will take the #2 seed. V8 is #3, CLG is #5, and Goose is #7.

Now here is where shit gets interesting. The bracket will presumably look like this-

TSM (1)
#4 qual 2 (8)

#2 qual 2 (4)
CLG (5)


V8 (3)
#3 qual 2 (6)

#1 qual 2 (2)
Goose (7)


Notice anything interesting? Ya, you dont want the 2 or 4 seed.

So here is how it currently breaks down. EG and COL play, with the loser becoming the 4 seed. Both teams gonna have to tryhard to avoid the upper bracket. The winner then plays curse, with the loser becoming the 3 seed. Both teams are gonna try to throw the game to dodge TSM and CLG. The "winner" of that game then has to tryhard vs Dig in order to get the #1 seed and avoid the upper bracket of doom.

EG-COL is at 8 est according to westrice's stream.

This is STILL all so confusing to me

I thought Dignitas was out of IEM Kiev -__-

did they do something to get back in? or was it just retarded decisions going into their favor.
