I've never heard that term in my life, just suspenders. Maybe an international thing though. | ||

"galluses" "pair of suspenders" "pair of braces" and others  I'm sure they all work in some way, I just wondered what the most common term was so I don't sound silly or very old fashioned or whatever. | ||

Was actually out for lunch that game, so I couldn't watch, but I never had a worry or doubt in my mind that Fnatic would stomp Gambit like they've done every other time in the last half year ^^ | ||

It works perfectly in removing any incentives to throw. I mean with round robin group play where everyone plays everyone. | ||

In the US we generally call them suspenders. | ||

If it mattered they could still throw depending on the seeding. I've definitely seen that before. | ||

If Ozone wins, then Gambit needs to beat Vulcun to be tied (assuming Ozone beats Mineski), if they lose Ozone advances. Hopefully some nice deciding matches. | ||

One is to making seeding important which can be done multiple ways. Just off the top of my head is having the first seed pick who they play in playoff stage. Another way is having a double elim bracket where top seeded teams go to WB and bottom go to LB while 1st seeded gets to choose. | ||

If it mattered, then their first seed would be at risk, and people wouldn't accuse them of throwing because they actually still would have a vested interest in the outcome of the game. Only in the current situation. Even with seeding, there are still 'throw' possibilities. IE, if Fnatic didn't lose vs Vulcun, they would still be guaranteed 1 seed if they lost 1 game to gambit. I think with round robin, it is pretty hard to avoid. | ||

You're giving people far too much credit, I need to remind you that Gambit was accused of throwing their first match against Fnatic. It has little to do with reason, people just like to stir up drama | ||

The only time throwing to become second seed is advantageous is also if your format sucks and you create a scenario where first seed is always better. | ||
