That doesn't change my opinion over what transpired, but it does sound silly that the #1 seed is in line to face a better team. The format for the up/down is a 12 team tournament where the top 4 seeds get a first round bye. AC is the 9th seed and is expected to lose in the first round by the seeding. If they had placed third at the ranked 5's tournament they would be facing a team considered tougher by the seeding in the first round. The seeds are based on the expectation that the best two non-LCS teams to qualify for the tournament did so at the earliest opportunity(MLG), the next 2 at the next opportunity(IPL), and last four at the last opportunity(Ranked 5's). Noting that their 2nd round opponent is tougher than if they had placed lower is the equivalent of a 9 seed at the NCAA men's basketball tournament complaining that they'll face a 1 in the 2nd round instead of a 3 if they had been given an 11. | ||

And the Vulcun/Curse issue is what usually happens if you don't have simultaneous games for the last round - teams play for postition, just because they can. There's really no reason at all to punish them for it - next time, run two games at a time, if possible... (and I'm not even sure about the validity of the arguement. Why would Vulcun want dig over CLG? They're 2-2 against both teams) | ||

End of story. I really think they should caution CLG/Azure (Kelby and Jiji, respectively) for spewing such stuff. It's really unsportsmanlike to go and accuse their competitors of colluding just so their team has a worse chance at qualifying. On a brighter note, can anyone recommend any games after the first two of yesterday's? Funny enough, the votes recommend all of them, which I can't quite believe, considering how the voting in here usually turns out... | ||

I think the middle four games were all decently good. Last two games were sort of meh but that might just be because they didn't have anything on the line so they lacked intensity. | ||

Edit: Just finished watching (bits) of the US matches. Kinda wondering why the whole Crs thing blew up that much - CLG could have been blamed the exactly same fashion for losing against MRN and GGU. Made horrible decisions, threw games etc, and hoping for MRN to qualify/fixing GGU as their opponent would benefit them way more than Crs supposedly speculating on Vulcun giving CLG a harder time. The whole thing is ridiculous. | ||

What isn't fine is Vulcan swapping roles in order to try to lose. TBH, curse has practiced that comp in scrims before. Riot can't charge um for shit. I've seen Saint jungle fizz in scrims. We known Jacky's KNOWN for his trist play. And we just saw SoAZ kick EG's ass with nunu top. Seen Elise support, and Ez before obviously. Just because there is motive like jiji says, doesn't mean they did it. | ||

What isn't fine is Vulcan swapping roles in order to try to lose. If you watched the game with a critical eye, Vulcun actually played the game far more seriously. Apart from the roleswaps(Which are sort of understandable, Xmithie is kind of known for Xerath as is Mancloud for Draven and Udyr also is a good champion of Zuna's) they actually played it far more seriously. In many fights it seemed like Curse members were trying to intentionally die / lose the battles. | ||

What isn't fine is Vulcan swapping roles in order to try to lose. The problem isn't with the teams. The format is at fault if teams are playing games that don't matter. Large scale pool play has to work hard to avoid this. Hopefully Riot learns better methods of keeping things competitive rather than comical. I'd suggest keeping the results secret at the play site, but most of the players would probably die if cut off from twitter. | ||
