Sure, go to http://www.mlgpro.com/pro-circuit/2010/.
Then click on Starcraft 2 on the side bar on the left, and then on Game Types.
It shows all the correct maps, but don't make the same mistake MLG did - the official brackets are numbered wrong.

This isn't necessarily true of course. Winning the first map is very important in a Bo3, as even if you lose map 2, you get the map choice for round 3. Added to the fact that Tyler was using a fairly uncommon strategy in round 1, which would likely not have worked a 2nd time.

Rules are Rules, but maybe they should not always be pressed at the players expenses :x
it's easy to say "yes i made a mistake" but it's hard to make that count by not punishing anyone but oneself
|
Oh how we all love to complain even when there is a good chance we would of made the same mistakes given the situation.
we're running a very large live event and we're all working 20 hours a day while we're here .
All excuses are good.

Well now that's fucked up. MLG, please fix the brackets/be more careful today. Large mistakes obviously happened and there was some hypocrisy in the whole situation as well (enforcing some rules and not enforcing others while claiming ALL rules need to be enforced) but that shouldn't ruin an otherwise really well done and very enjoyable tournament.

It's just really shitty for the person who has to suffer before you "codify the rule".
PainUser knew he lost. He told Tyler after the game he had like 15 scvs. That's as crappy as it gets for Tyler, and probably puts him on tilt more than losing the first game.
PainUser was far from out of that game, had he lost his OC he would of been out.
Tyler just finished his robo and had nothing but gateway units, Pain had full tech available to him, and close spawns on his side with tanks+siege already on the field.
imo the game was about 50/50

Rules are rules but from minute one of "everyone gets a bye in air quotes "round 1" because our bracket is 256 instead of 128" was effing stupid. That should have been corrected Before the tournament started
|
instead of trying to save every pennies, you better employ more workers working over 20 hrs is not an excuse, it simply shows that you are a really greedy employer
|
Terrible decision as covered fifty times over here.
That said, if an organization as amazing as TL could make a similar mistake (Artosis Slush regame for TSL) then it's unlikely that an event as large as MLG would be able to go off without a hitch. Hopefully MLG makes it up to Tyler somehow (showmatch regame with Painuser for bonus cash!)

Oh shut up man, people can make mistakes whether they're tired or not. Who are you to tell them to hire additional workers ._. You're probably not even paying to watch their games.

I can forgive MLG as long as they make adjustments to the rules for the next tournament. Sucks for Tyler in any case. Hopefully he'll have a good run in the LB anyway.

I wonder how so many players played wrong maps and didn't notice.

I think it's great of them that they IMMEDIATELY acknowledge that they made a mistake and follow the rules. Sure it sucks for the players, but it was the right thing to do. I find it really cool of them that they don't make up lame excuses and immediately say they were at fault. Props to MLG for running this great event! (on a sidenote, I don't feel like painuser stole this series because of this. He played a fantastic game 1 reloaded and game 2.)

I agree and could even ignore the other four games, but they NEED to fix the brackets so it doesn't happen again!
If you can't change the template to remove the first Round, at least re-number correctly!

Thanks a lot. But i don't get it how are they numbered wrong? For example it says round 8 for Ret Vs Kiwi. Round 8 should be Metalopolis. Or is it a different mapbecause of the gridmistakes?

If you look there, it says "Round 6 - Lost Temple"
Now, look where LiquidTyler vs PainUser is on their official brackets... Round 6.
That's the error. The numbering on the official brackets is wrong because there is a "fake" Round 1, pushing all the Rounds off by 1.

Winner-bracket is off by 1 round and the loser-bracket is off by 2.
|
I just want to give props to MLG for handling this so professionally and transparently. I actually think MORE highly of MLG after this.
