Pay, I can understand not wanting to pay for Nasl (I don't), but the Gsl pretty much has the best players/games in the world, I can't see why you wouldn't.

Hahaha Fionn, we'd all love to see your 2-2 predictions come true

It's not entirely unlikely either, but on the flip side Polt hasn't looked good lately so predicting him to win anything is hard, even for those of us who actually like Polt's play =/ In his game vs ForGG Polt played terribly, and though some will put it down to ForGG's great play (which in part it is), Polt just looked like a shadow of his super self.

Leenock v Naniwa prediction made me laugh =D

But yeah, I expect a 3-1, 3-1, 2-2, 2-2, 0-4 again tonight unless Polt returns to his good old self. In which case, your 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 prediction is likely

hypothetically, if the whole group does go 2-2, what's the tiebreak procedure? replay the whole group?

to be fair, GSL has better players and a lot better production quality. .

I feel for stephano, but the group stage rules could have easily been top 2 advance rather than top 3. It's just how things go. In any case, the format reflects an event cup style. Everyone has to play each other, but it's only bo1 due to time/schedule constraints.

After going less than .500 on predictions for Group A, I've imposed a self-ban on predictions. In additional penance, I've consigned myself to writing the Group A recap, so I can further remind myself about how wrong I was.

Haha.

the group B predictions are by a different person than yesterday's group A predictor/today's group a wrapup writer.

Go MMA! #1 Please!

I see what you did there, make some ridiculous predictions so that when you are wrong, you can claim to be joking, but when you are write, you can say told you so. I'm on to you, Fionn...

MC said his issue is nerves. Whatever it is, its changing the way he plays. However during practice and lan he still is the same guy 9 months ago. Which explains why his teammates don't think he slumped. If MC gets over his nerves and wins this tourny I can almost guarantee he will win GSL Jan

Each player downs a bottle of vodka, and then they see who can do the Mario for the longest time without falling down.

On a sillier note; If they have the same win/lose ratio, it's the player that won their heads-up game that advances (like in Group A where MC advanced instead of Stephano due to beating him earlier). So to have a tie that needs to be broken requires three players with the same W/L record and having beaten each-other.

For example, if MMA, Polt and Naniwa ends up on the same score, where:
Polt > MMA
MMA > Naniwa
Naniwa > Polt
I'd assume that if this is the case they just play it out until one player edges out/is edged out of the three (I dont know the exact scores the players would need to end up with for this to occur). And if all five contestants in the group ends up on 2-2, I'll just laugh and see how good GSL's crisis management is.

Hopefully all of that makes sense, as I'm pretty tired and I'm probably just wrong. Oh, well.
