Its was mostly skilled based, to be fair, they actually had plenty of games to show their skill before the coin flip occured. Its not like, "Oh hi guys, now we flip a coin to who goes through"
But now it is like it is

If you play Round Robin groups (and I really prefer this over "normal" brackets) there is only the possibility of 3 players are being tied.
Considering they do all the games on a stage with a somewhat tight schedule there just is no time to do 3 Bo3s that will take at least 2 hours
Sure a coinflip sucks but as some people said: all players had two chances of advancing on their own effort I agree strongly with this. Group play is by far the most interesting way to start off a tournament, in my opinion of course. Sure does suck that there is no "goal difference" in starcraft though. Perhaps you could use a percentual score differential or something weird like that. Look at the way the MSL does group play. Dreamhack's current system is inexcusably bad.
Isn't that just a double elimination (in smaller groups)? Sure, that would work, but I still think "round robin" group play is more fun to watch.

OMG, didn't know Goody was that big

Rooting for Adelscott and Demuslim to make it out of this group~
|
are they actually showing 3 games without including the swede in the group, that is impressive..
|
I quite like the group play but what they really need is a better tie-breaker system. For example:
A vs B winner vs C
Not entirely fair, C has an advantage, but it's better than risking a coin-flip. An even better system is:
A vs B loser vs C winner vs first winner
Also not 100% fair but pretty close, and it's still only 3 games played.
|
I hope the Inca/Nony game is soon. That and Demuslim/Fenix are the only 2 i'm looking foward to in these groups.

Coinflip is still a fucking pathetic way of deciding.
