First of all, because he got out of the winner bracket ahead, HuK should have a full set advantage (bo3 in this case) against kiwikaki who lost a match already and not just a mere game advantage, and HuK should be required to win only one bo3 again while kiwikaki should have to win 2 to make up for his earlier loss in the tournament. This loser bracket style has been used for like 10 years in professional FPS tournaments and it always worked like this. Also, if there weren't any advantage for HuK and both had to win 2 bo3s, it wouldn't be the same as a bo7 anyways. Say HuK wins first 2-1, loses second 1-2, and wins 2-1 the third... wait, kiwikaki won 4 games and still lost the series? doesn't sound like a bo7 to me. Unfortunately this kind of bracket doesn't work too well for RTS games imo and I think double group stage > single elimination bracket is better. Since like 3 people have quoted this now, Yes, I'm an idiot and was completely wrong. One last laugh at me and then we can let the thread go on. Thanks for spelling it out for me, somehow I was too slow to figure it out myself - tilting hard over the non-legit complaints littering the thread. | ||

I like the extended series, probably not quite as fair on the winners' winner but he still takes an advantage and it's a lot less confusing than having one player have to win twice while the other doesn't need to. Big congrats to HuK, winning with the handicap of using 0 as his hotkey for nexus makes it even more impressive. | ||

Edit Nice day, sadly I missed some games but over all good casting with some minor things I could nitpick on, but people flamed on those already. Hopefully we don't get that many PvP next time. ^^ Grats to the winner. | ||

Instead of talking heads for a half hour inbetween matches we got to see a bit of the players. Commentators are great but...these tourneys are about the gamers! I feel like I should be able to recognize some of these guys' faces by now...that'll never happen if tourney organizers don't put them on camera. I really want to get a feel for who these top SC2 players are, it would make me much more interested in the SC2 scene. | ||

Some of the MLG guys have posted in this thread to let us know that VoDs and replays will be available sometime next week. They're all going to be very busy all weekend long so it'll take awhile for that stuff to be posted. Big thanks to the MLG staff for working so hard to bring us such an amazing tournament. | ||
