YesI do, I was just pointing out a difference, unfortunately Naz has a good point with: On December 02 2010 01:52 Liquid`Nazgul wrote: ] The more reason why it is bad. 2-1 or 2-0 is huge whereas 7-6 has a lot less influence. The lower the scores for a game the worse this rule is, because the lower the scores the more influence it has to bring them back. | ||

Would your opponent default lose because you already have one game up on him? Just saying. OR they could just do a bo3 extended series, where the first person to 2 wins overall goes through. That sounds pretty fair, doesn't it? That's closer to what MLG does than your situation | ||

Also, extended series is not a good way to filter out the "best players" because games in SC2 are always going volitile and the best player might not always win the first bo3. The concept of a tournament having a "memory" of your performance isn't interesting enough to warrant all the draw backs to extended series. After the SotG interview, it just seems like MLG are just too hung up on and proud about having their own way of doing things to be able to see that it's damaging their tournament. Basically, anything that is so convoluted that casters have to repetitively set off time to explain the system is a bad thing for the audience and the tournament as a whole. | ||

This isn't Halo, thank God. Who brings in the most spectators to MLG these days? I bet you a dollar to a bucket of shit it sure isn't Halo. MLG won't change as they have the Monopoly, as you guys who heard the podcast say, "best in North America" .... | ||

That seems like it would be the best scenario imo | ||

players unlucky enough to run into the people who knocked them out earlier in the tournament are effectively in a 1 - 1.5 elimination tournament due to this advantage; those lucky enough to avoid such scenarios are given full double elimination opportunities making their life much easier. (though not necessarily easy xD) | ||
