Well as a player I am fighting for players' rights here. It's probably true that fixing the brackets could be the best thing to do for this specific situation. But it kinda sucks for the players. Aaand in the long run, I think it should be a given that only the fairest methods will endure for the competitive scene. Anything else = drama, controversy, tainted tournament, etc. Setting up specific matches is for showmatches, not for brackets! !

I'm not saying I completely hate this tournament now. It's still awesome. Mega awesome. Surprisingly awesome. As I said before, I feel totally lucky to be able to play in a tournament like this. I just had to have a word about how brackets are made =]

We will be holding a lot more special events like this in the future. This is our 'trial' run and it is a pretty big learning experience for us.

While the way the brackets were set up definitely upsets some, no matter which way we did it people would be upset. For example, doing it the 'standard' way might result in WhiteRa vs IdrA in the round of 16. That doesn't seem very fair. And as of right now there is no accurate way to decide skill level (#1 vs #16, #2 vs #15, etc) since we cant have qualifying rounds. Just going off of a third party site where people aren't playing on the same servers wasn't really an option.

We respect the players and don't want to step on anyone's toes, but at the same time we want to be able to secure enough hype to have this not be our only huge event . The same goes for the players invited, it really is impossible to please everyone and I'm sure there are plenty of players out there who are better than some of the ones in this tournament.

Considering that GameStop was promoted in the vid, and iNcontrol works there, I would think they'd have let you film in the store. In the back room, if nothing else. Regardless, might I suggest buying/rigging a wind shield for your camera mic?

This is our 'trial' run and it is a pretty big learning experience for us.

A beta tourney for a beta game seems pretty appropriate. You & HD have shown an amazing propensity for makin' shit happen with this event, & so far, the talent for making it happen properly. Definitely looking forward to (more) great things from you two.

They should get a camera crew like Mr. Guetta and Kid Cudi have:

Husky

Are you planning to shave off the rest of your head?
Do you have any plans with your current hair?
Are you planning any more extreme hair style in the future?

Sincerely yours and HD best friend,

And I'll sum it up: life of a gamer as a kid... with a mom who supported him!

P.S. I can't believe how similar his life is to mine haha... except I went the CS-War3-WoW route.

Anyway, best of luck for them all...

My friend from Hong Kong is saying that this actually used to be a popular hairstyle there about ~30 years ago.

Actually the chance of that happening is the only thing that would have been fair. I really don't understand why people mistake bad luck with being unfair. The only way, given the lack of proper power rankings, for completely fair tournament brackets would have been by pure random chance. Random chance is inherently fair to everyone involved.

Especially in a case where the tournament organizer is trying to justify his/their decision to introduce unfairness into the way the tournament brackets are created, by explaining how an inherently fair system would somehow have been less fair than subjectively picking the matchups that should provide most viewer interest. Not that I am disagreeing with the decision. Just the justification for it.

It is going to be an amazing tournament, and I will be watching it in any case.
