They were outplayed in individual games by opponents which eventually lost them the games. Except the amazingly stupid coin-toss decider, I don't think anyone can blame the format for players getting knocked out. I mean, the players themselves would say that they lost because they did not play up to mark and who are we to argue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, I disagree with this guy's approval on Bo1 format. I think a solid Bo3 in the group stage is needed in the future tournaments because Bo1 still has a lot of "luck" factoring into the outcome of the match. Why do we have several sets in other sports like Tennis anyway? We want more consistant players to advance to the higher stages of the tournament. We don't want players who only do 6 or 7 pool to advance to the knock-out stage. One's effort put in macro management should be valued more imo. Anyhow, one game takes about an average of 20 minutes. So if one were to do Bo3 instead of Bo1, about an average of 40 more minutes will take to finish a match. I think 60 minutes average maximum for a match is not that bad. | ||

If either of those players had done better in their respective groups they would have met someone completely different. Looking at the premade brackets after people qualified and then rearranging them to favour certain players would have been even worse. | ||

There were probably 20 or more better european players at the time he joined them in Korea. Anyway, he's sick good now. | ||

I expected 9/10 group stage games to be something like a cannon rush, marine/scv rush or 6 pool - when actually it was more like 1/10. | ||

Bo1 is however pretty bad from a viewer PoV, and I imagine even worse from a player PoV. As funny as Actionjesus appearance was, I feel pretty bad for lucifron going out against a 6pool, just as I feel pretty bad for demuslim going out against a 2gate proxy (and demuslim beat fenix, who is now in ro8). Bo1 kinda makes it so that losing to cheesy strat like that has way too much affect on tournament results. And that Bo1 also has a pretty high chance of ending up in 3way ties is kinda bad too, but the real blunder was the coinflip rule. Bo3 is obviously better overall, but Bo1 when in group play is still just as fail (or unfair) as most other formats. But the coinflip rule needs to go asap. | ||

Give a guy some credit? top foreiginer zerg? Is that term thrown around at will or is the foreigner scene that weak? He went 2-1 in group stages (meaning he won two BO1) then lost his first play off games? | ||

A better zerg would have immediately morphed the overseer by the lair instead of turning the one all the way across the map around, letting it get halfway back, then deciding that was too slow and morphing one by the lair that still finished before the original overseer was back. | ||

It wasn't as bad as we expected, but still... if they can afford Bo3, they should do Bo3 instead of Bo1. Well, if they don't have enough time for doing Bo3, then I guess we have no other option then. | ||
