He didn't win a qualifier. EG footed the bill for him and HuK to be sent over.

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

Wait... 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)


But in that case one would have to at least question the competence of that group :\

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.

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.

The logic that Bo1 is bad because you can just cheese is absurd, because it's also possible to cheese 2 games in a Bo3, or 3 games in 5, and so on.

"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.

Idra lost to Killer and Orly? Seriously?


this is why group stage bo1 is a stupid format


anyone can lose to anyone, a bunch of bo1's is a horrible way to decide "who is better" at the game given the amount of volatility in the game

they may as well flip coins to determine the group scores


I disagree. 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.

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?

I hope the rest of this Socke vs Sen game is better. Sen lost his first Overlord to a Cannon, Socke just got hugely supply-blocked...

I don't get why something like WCG would use a Bo1 format. 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


Doesn't mean I don't have to like the format. 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

WCG has a ton of players, and SC2 isn't the only game going on you know.
