No, it was 2 separate series

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.

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.

Go Socke! He's one of the most likeable Pros in the World!

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

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.
