Its a normal tie breaker. Since you cant go by rounds or whatever like in fps games | ||

The same tie breaker was set for dota2 tournament last time aswell. Everytime a team was loosing they wanted to buy those extra seconds before loosing. Its a normal tie breaker. Since you cant go by rounds or whatever like in fps games LoL and DotA and the meaning of "time" are not applicable to eachother IMO. | ||

Shoulda done an offline tiebreaker but kinda understand why they did it because they're so behind schedule thanks to fail server/client. | ||

You can argue that the DCs might not have affected the final outcomes of the games, but when game-times are being used as tie-breakers? They'll DEFINITELY have an effect on that. | ||

IEM rules are in place far before the event, it's not like they just decided that is how they will decide a 3 way-tie. | ||

I remember Navi was winning handily against scythe in group stage and when scythe said GG and about to leave, Navi kindly told them " stay, don't leave till throne is dead" because apparently they are cool with each other and stuff and navi reminded them that time rating counts for tiebreakers. | ||

That is a minimum of 3 games which right now took them about 4 hours to do. If they need more then 3 it becomes a total nightmare. They cant fix this like they do in sc2 just because of the time needed to play even a single game. | ||

Even that last stand was pretty stupid. Why fight at 1 inhibitor instead of the two towers at their nexus as they probably could have dragged it out longer there? This time rule can be abused so badly in future events. | ||

This is not a good solution. But I can see why it was chosen. I do not like it but I understand it. | ||

Thats why time is allways gonna be a tie breaker in moba games. unless its bo3 or bo5 where rounds can be a factor. There's a simple solution to this. If you can't afford to actually play tiebreakers in a round-robin format (OSL style groups), then you should just use a double-elimination group stage (MSL style groups). The advantage of round-robin groups is that it's supposed to be more "fair" because in double-elim, the winner of the winner's game never plays the loser of the loser's game, but honestly the fairness argument goes out the window if you are using arbitrary statistics for tiebreakers. Incidentally this actually SAVES time because the group-stage involves 5 games instead of 6. | ||
