Its ridiculous to say that. To MVP Bo1, Bo3, Bo5, Bo7 no probemo. Just give him his monies. | ||

Didn't WCG in the United States not pay this year for some reason? There was a lot of drama about it but I don't really remember | ||

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. Sure, and i'm not saying idra would win if it weren't bo1 group stage but honestly seeing the others knocked out and players who actually did get through is leaving me scratching my head, either my perception of who is "good" and "bad" at starcraft2 is totally wrong or the format is wonky and not doing the job of letting "the best man" win. | ||

But his group was stronger than people give it credit for, especially against the style IdrA loves to play. I mean, people like Capoch are PvZ wild cards, and it's been a while since ZvZ was an auto-win for IdrA. Idra is in Korea anyways, so I don't think it cost EG that much money...! On another note, why does the SC2 off stage have an obsever, but no commentator...? | ||

It used to be not so annoying when you knew who it would be coming from, ideally Media boys and then expanded and again and again. It's white noise to me now. | ||

"Yeah but in Bo3 you can be prepared for cheese after the first cheese" you say? Well, then why not be prepared for cheese in each Bo1? It's the same thing. There are 7 people in a group, which means every player plays 6 games. 6 games is a large enough sample to pick out the people playing their best. And if you lose to cheese you aren't playing your best. | ||

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.

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. Why cant they make it Groups of 4 or 5 with Bo3?Isn't that standard for group play?IEM,Dreamhack,MLG,GSL do this . Why not WCG? | ||

The fact that if you win your division in the NFL guarantees you a playoff spot and it's been used for years.. doesn't mean I have to agree with it | ||
