I think it's Giacomo Thüs

yeah i thought so, but he wrote Giancomo twice. I don't wanted to be a grammar nazi, but i thought he didn't know that it is written without the "n".


Sorry! German name fail on my part Regardless <3 Socke

I don't think Giacomo is a german name though. Sounds Italian.

No they only need 2 in a row. The reason socke needs 3 is because his game against sjow was part of the first tie breaking set but they all tied again so they reset it.


So Sjow wins, then the series is reset and he has to win 2 more? I'm confused, why is IEM so confusing.


no..

a players needs to win 2 games in a row to pass.. thats just it


Socke has won 2 games in a row.


No, it was 2 separate series

It would be even worse if they coin flip or something like that.



TBH I don't think so. The players have had enough chances to show their skills by now, so a coin flip would be just as fair a decision. They can't be holding up everyone just because they randomly decide to suck.


Gosh, how can a coinflip be a fair decision? Just because everybody has the same chances? Playing these games I don't think that everybody has the same chances so how is this fair? This is too random. Would hate this so much and hope for them to play the games tomorrow.

If this was football or another serious sport, there would be a coin flip decision now.


Nope, there would be a shootout.

Lol no it would not.
The solution they have now with replaying it over and over is actually terrible. Becasue the chance for another 3-way tie is actually 50% for every round of regames.


Lol, yes it would. What are you on?

Oh well.

"Tie-breaking criteria

Teams were ranked on the following criteria:[54]

1. Greater number of points in all group matches
2. Goal difference in all group matches
3. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches
4. Greatest number of points in matches between teams
5. Goal difference in matches between teams
6. Greatest number of goals scored in matches between teams
7. Drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee"

Nope, it's 2 games within the same tiebreaker. Tiebreaker 1 ended with all players at 1-1.

Socke is now up 1-0 in tiebreaker 2, winning a second game makes him advance.

It's not winning 2 games in a row, it's beating both of your opponents in one tiebreaker round.

Luckily Squirtle doesn't know how to defend vs 10gate 4gate warp-in
12 Gate 3 Gate with Chronoboost on units counters this build so hard
But Squirtle doesn't have the experience against this build it looks ^^

He won one to prevent elimination. One player needs to be up 2 maps in the tiebreaker. Socke was down one game, so winning 2 made him be up 1 game

Its amazing how socke can make 100 mistakes in one game and then go on and play a perfect game, so inconsistent.


Maybe he isn't use to play long macro games. It just seemed like there where so many things going on at the same time in that game that he could not do everything at once.

It was a little bit like sanZenith against Nestea with the difference that those two actually could be everywhere at once ;-)


Actually Socke is very good at long macro games especially vs T.

I think it was hard for him to focus vs Fenix, knowing he's facing someone who has nothing to fight for.
He just wanted the game to be over very fast and focus on the tiebreak instead.
