Okay, see? This tiebreaker stuff is crap. Winning 2 games in a row like Socke did accomplishes the same thing. Both players get the chance to beat him, both players failed. It's basically KoTH.

Squirtle made stupid decisions the entire tournament, seems like he doesn't know that all he has to do to win against weak players is make a sentry and protect himself for enough time to expand/make the right composition.

tlo is such a classy guy, i really love him

in his interview with sjow, he asked how sjow was feeling. sjow answered that he doesnt care if he wins or loses. sensing that sjow was getting kind of emo, tlo tried his best to give some words of encouragement. something along the lines of 'try your best. see it as your chance to put all your efforts into your starcraft'

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"

its a little harder to replay a soccer game, than to replay a starcraft game ...

Wow, just checked the results and my mind was blown. Moon going 5-0, which is totally unexpected. I didn't think he was good judging from his GSL performances. Also, well done to Moonglade!

I watched the cast yesterday and TLO is an awesome caster!
