Of course it would be hilarious if this bit them in the ass and then MSI manages to lose to col in the playoffs... lol I hate to sound mean but Col wasn't invited in the first place for a reason. Fnatic playing sen + fenix is almost a guaranteed win. | ||

Fenix was in the 2v2 so he knew it was going to an ace... and it's not like they weren't in communication they were in the same game together :/ I'm not sure on this but I think a player can only play twice (one being 1v1 and other in the 2v2), fenix playing in the second match against drewbie and then for the 2v2. | ||

Why would I go chasing my players when we already were a lock for the playoffs. Didn't matter for us, so I played it. Not like I tried to lose. CatZ is just much better than me. It would matter if you had any respect for other teams or for the spirit of competition. Fnatic just made a fool of itself, not sure how that is OK when they are associating their name with sponsors. Definitely lost a fan today and I enjoyed Fnatic even before sc2 was released. Oh well. | ||

Carpal Tunnel Symdrone? =P In all seriousness, I think people here on TL hate Xeris for whatever reason... maybe he should've realized the potential backlash, but it seems like he didn't notice the potential playoff implications for other teams. I can't blame him, that's like saying if MYM didn't bring out their top lineup in their last match vs dignitas (they didn't... SaSe didn't play, and Mondi didn't play)...... is that throwing a match too? Anyway, in short, I think Xeris should've found a way to get someone involved, but at the same time, you guys are roasting him for something that doesn't seem intentional. Maybe it was a carefully calculated effort to get coL in over EG and sixjax or whatever, but we should have the presumption of innocence, no? | ||

You're overreacting just like that FeelTheTension guy. I'm guessing you also hate Select and MC when they did their capital ship shenanagins in NASL ? | ||

I was looking for the right words to express my feelings, and this captures it very well. I've also been giving NASL the benefit of the doubt as much I could as well, as a season long subscriber and supporter, but it's hard to keep that up with the lack of professionalism (IMO) that I've been seeing from Xeris. | ||

I had fun watching Select to be honest, mostly because the harm was minimal (he wasn't knocking anyone out) and entertainment value from the match was high. But I think stuff like this, with games being thrown, create a bad precedent. Anyone believes that throwing games is good for a spectator sport? How can that be desirable? Sure it happens in NFL etc, but at least there is a good reason there. Throwing a sc2 game because you can't get a player to hang 30min more is completely different from risking a football player from injury. As I said, "oh well", it's just a game anyways, no reason to get too upset about it. | ||

This is my feeling (partially) too. fnatic could've done a bit better with playing. But sixjax could've won one more. Like Idra said on DJwheat's show (not sure which one, not a fan of IdrA) re: NASL... sure, PainUser was essentially "throwing" matches, but if Idra had won more earlier, he wouldn't have been relying on a PainUser win vs Zenio anyway (not that it mattered... Idra lost to Boxer anyway lol). | ||

This is basically the jist of it, people can theorize about backdoor deals between coL and Fnatic but I don't think they're there (the stream chat was pretty f'ing bad, lol), this just happened to play out in a pretty awkward manner because of so many players being at DreamHack (I know earlier in the EGMC because of timezones etc Fnatic has had trouble fielding the players they want to, poor Kawaii playing TvP in the ace match lol, and in this case the results simply didn't matter to them, no sane manager is going to try to force TTOne, NightEnd or Sen to play in games that don't matter when they're preparing for DreamHack), however IMO because of the rather unique situation of coL taking the place of ROOT, a tiebreak match would be great. Mostly great for me, because I want to see me games and there's a long time until July 2nd/3rd  . Regardless, its a kinda sad/anticlimatic way to end the season. gogo tiebreak match! | ||

Of course they could've won more games, but still it's not really ideal. | ||
