I would be saying the same thing if Killer was 3-3 or whatever instead of 5-1. They're different formats, but you can argue that the best player still won out in the end to make it out of the group. When you have group formats with bo3s someone can have better overall game results, but still not make it out because someone else ended up winning more bo3s overall. | ||

So you guys are implying Idra lose because of the stupid BO1, am I getting the correct information here? bo1 gives the best chance for an inferior player to surprise a better one and walk away with the win to phrase it better, actionjezuz(as an example, hes not there) could 6pool his group, win every time, and get to the final bracket because of it not all idra games were shown so who knows why he lost, but the fact is bo1 format virtually guarantees there will be no consistency in the skill of the players who make it through (other than perhaps being able to hold cheese well) | ||

The volatility in Bo1s are negated by the fact that players have to play 6 games in a group and if they screw up 1 game due to cheese, still have 5 other games to show their skills. This has been the system all along and while all of us may prefer Bo3s, WCG can't have their finals GSL style and play it over 2 weeks or something. Personally, i think the results do show that the best players have advanced. Idra is wildly inconsistent and he has lost Bo3s, Bo5s to perceived "inferior" players before. | ||

Orly got utterly destroyed at Dreamhack Again: This isn't just best of 1 it's Bo1 in a group stage with 7 people. Of course you can say things such as you aren't used to your opponent as much so you get cheesed easier, but this is actually not argument related to bad format just lack of allround skill from Idra if you think he is more likely to lose in this format. You could for example argue that the format is bad for Idra because he is not good at playing a different player each time. This does not make it a bad format, it makes it a bad format for Idra. Other players will consistently be better in this format. | ||

I mean, people like Capoch are PvZ wild cards, and it's been a while since ZvZ was an auto-win for IdrA. You do realize that by winning your national WCG, you get a ticket to Korea and back by WCG as part of your prize, right? => EG did not pay a cent for him going to WCG. | ||

I mean, I sort of get it, but it just feels like, hey if you can just take one game off a top level guy, you could advance. It just screams "I got lucky, but I advanced"(with all due respect to all the players) I dont get why ppl keep complaining about format that has been used for years w/o problems | ||

Not a big lose for EG considering IdrA will be practicing at the SlayerS house. -.-;; This format is fine. A lot of you guys are new to it. This format is tried tested and proven just like the rest. The rightful players win. Like we saw in BW. Korean domination. | ||
