Only people like you on internet forums were meant to fail.. it's got nothing to do with their wc3 background and everything to do with the fact that they practice their asses off with SC2 | ||

Oh, I got it. So there's a winner's and loser's bracket in the open as well? That makes sense. I couldn't follow it because their coverage was terrible and the thing they had on their site was confusing. | ||

The rankings reflect the performance of the people you beat. TLO had a better overall record than iNcontroL, but one of the people iNcontrol beat was TLO. In other words, some wins are weighted more than others, based on those people's performances. It all works out mathematically, but I know what you mean. When they set it up like this, it's more swingy. The matches into the group play count for so much more than the championship bracket matches. So if that's what people's complaints are about then... I agree. Well, going outside of the tournament for a second, any rational person can see that TLO's route to 5th is many, many times harder than Incontrol's route to 4th, which is just nonsensical. Having to beat IdrA, Tyler and Drewbie and then having to play an extended series, essentially having to win 4-1 is unfair. I'm not hating on Geoff, I think he has done enough this tournament to prove that he isn't as bad as many people think, but 4th is extremely flattering given that he didn't have to beat anyone particularly challenging besides TLO. | ||

he didnt deserve a 4th place - if he started in open bracket as HuK or Naniwa had to - goodbye man  but still he performed way better than i expected, just people like Socke, Idra, TLO, SjoW, Drewbie or even Moonan and Slush performed better overall. Anyway - Day 3 was quite nice to watch | ||

What background you had in SCBW or WC3 is largely irrelevant as almost nobody trained as professionally in either game in the foreign scene as they are in SC2 and SC2 has been out for almost a year. It has some form of relevance in the Korean scene because people trained both games professionally. | ||

I think thats the championship tournament at the end of the year. The regular tournaments only put out 11k prize pool per sc2 tourney? but is a qualifier for the championship tournament where all the money is | ||

It's a circuit, the large money pool is from the national championship that you need to have a lot of points for, the individual event is only $5,000 for first. | ||
