Pretty sure they said the seeding was semi-random, with only the condition that two people from the same group cannot meet until Finals.

@nihlon :/ That's how ESL has been doing the IEM since for ever.

@arctics86 in there case because neither of them qualify they just leave the rankings as it is with HuK over Artosis due to map difference. But when it comes to determining who advances at top or second seed they look at direct results.


If you say so. It's a very weird system in that case that I've never seen before.

This would make much more sense.

I don't know the system, but if that is the ruling I don't see any logic behind it, just random. HuK gets 100$ more than Artosis, so it does matter a lot.

And why would the seeding be semi-random. What's the point of getting first then? That's just wrong

Isn't this like in soccer, score diff. before direct macthup?!

http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/gamescom/sc2/groupstage/rankings/

Sarens 6 Points 5:3
DIMAGA 6 Points 4:4

nope. Direct matchup is what counts. Score difference is in the events of a three-way-tie like group D.


That would be a retarded way of determine positions in the group. You can't use both as tie breakers. Either Sarens is second and Strelok through, or Sarens first and demuslim through.

The only reasonable answer is that there is some random element to the playoff matchups or the less likely alternative that they messed up.


They said that it was random. The only factor was that no one should face anyone he played at the group stage until the final and they achieved that.

To all MadFrog fans, don't have high expectations so you don't get disappointed. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets destroyed.
I'm very good at making carriers.

tarson is one of the few solid terrans in this tournament.
If you've seen his go4sc2 games vs dimaga back when zvt still wasnt horrible you'll understand(tarson won in a prolonged macro games btw).
Tarson is a guy who can abuse openings as well as play solid macro game which is a lot more then i can say even about demuslim, who is someone i had very high expectations for.

A 4 terran semi final would be terrible. I'd rather kill myself than watch boring tank turtle fests and Mass Marauder/Medivac.

A 4 zerg semi final on the other hand...

I think there are very few people who think Madfrog will make it to the finals. He only needs to beat Tarson to make it to the third place match though. So far Madfrog has been showing a very innovative game and often plays smart even if he overall isn't in perfect form yet which he admits himself. I wouldn't be surprised if he beats Tarson. Day9 also bet that he would win his first match.

It's funny how Naniwa has a german flag on the brackets on the ESL site even though he is Swedish. I think he moved to germany to play from there but then Idra should have a Korean flag too.

so, the schedule http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/gamescom/schedule says that the first match will be 09:50 CET. it's 09:43 CET in germany right now, does mean that it starts in 7 minutes!? (sorry, i'm hopeless at telling times like those -_-

I don't see what would lead anyone to think he's going to get "destroyed"... I mean he's been playing just as good as most of the other players in the tourney so far.. he managed to beat White Ra and Cloud.. of course he isn't expected to win the tourney.. but his play so far does not suggest he's going to get "destroyed" heh..

I hope to see morrow vs idra final.

Sad and surprising no toss advanced
It's more important to be tough than to have any fun.
