They cheer during games. Not that much but they make quite some noise.

like OSL or MSL? There is a HUGE article about why carmac doesn't like loser brackets. and imo he is totally right. NO SPORT has a loser bracket. how lame would that be in , for example, tennis or so?
No sport has loser bracket ?
Ever heard of the World Cup? You know that thing that just finished in South Africa?

"ESL was holding an Avalon Online event in Germany, and we received and accepted their abrupt offer for a showmatch with Nada. He hasn't played much SC II, so we allowed the event under the condition that the match be unbroadcasted, but there is no truth to claims that we stopped the match.
There are some rumors going around right now, but it was not WeMade or KeSPA that halted the games. Nada GG'd out quickly in game three because there were network issues, and concluded it would be difficult to proceed with the match. Upon talking to the event administrators, it appears that there was incorrect information about KeSPA relayed to the ESL staff."
So, with two differing stories, ESL people, PLEASE CLARIFY.
I call BS on that statement, Networking issues, Difficult to proceed with the match? Where? Never heard TLO complain, nor hear anything about it at all. Seems like they are getting alot of heat for what they did and are trying to find an excuse for their actions.
Nada did lag out of the first game so I guess it's possible.

I'm pretty sure third place bracket does not = loser bracket. Loser bracket is when you still have a chance for the finals even if you get knocked out of the elimination process in the winners bracket.
