Awful unit control by Kiwikaki. He did not manage to multitask that 1 stalker in his main and these 1 stalker - 1 zealot at Idra's natural

Chat moderation needs to be a little bit more harsh. 1% of the people watching the stream spam chat every minute when slow mode is up. I am tired of seeing the chat propagate unwarranted caster hate. The emoticons are getting pretty old too. Please perma ban everyone that does this.

The only bad thing about that is that a ban from the chat room does not only prevent one from posting, but also from viewing chat. Some people really like viewing chat, and it is a privilege that shouldn't be taken away.

Probably because Idra beat kiwikaki already and kiwikaki came from the loser's bracket to the finals so he has to win 2 bo5


right... which is basically how extended series works.

Nope, this is how double elimination works.

Extended series = Idra beat kiwi 3-0 earliar so Kiwi would have to beat Idra 6 times while Idra would have to beat Kiwi 3 times. Following which, if Kiwi wins, there would be another extension as it's double elimination as well.

Dang, Kiwi losing all his initial force trying to harass the 14 hatch. Now in a very poor position going into the midgame. Idra taking 3rd just after the nat goes down for Kiwi.

You've confused extended series with how EVERY double elimination finals works.

I believe extended series refers to when, say since Idra beat KiwiKaki 2-0 before, then he would go into the finals with a 2-0 lead in a bo5 or 7 or w/e. On the other hand, if he had only beat KiwiKaki 2-1 or something then KiwiKaki would go into the bo7 down 2-1, etc.

I believe it was MLG that uses extended series. It's kind of a wonky way of doing things, and it really seemed to bother a lot of people.

I hope IPL invites Spanishiwa for the next season. Would love to see his creative play. Especially against Idra.

There won't be invites, just seeds and qualifications.

I think you have to qualify for the proper seasons with the top 4 from this IPL being invited/automatically qualify

At this point, I'm starting to wonder how many other people who were anti-extended series are actually just anti-double elimination...

Is it open to Europeans or only North Americans?
