We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum.

Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service.

Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out.

Will the possible Idra vs MC be an extended series starting with Idra 2-0 lead?

Mute your stream when they announce the commercial breaks - sound will automatically resume when they are over. I simply switch to another tab, check stuff and as soon as I hear the casters again, the next match will have started. Convenient.


Just use adblockplus. the stream asks you to disable it when you start the stream, so you disable it, and then reenable it when the stream gets going. No more stupid bing :D
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

Fucking extended series bullshit kills Thorzain.

I think Thorzain losing is what killed Thorzain


If there weren't extended series, they would be in a second bo3, and MC would be up 1-0.


No, MC would be up 2-0 (aka, he would have won anyway) because he already beat T-Zain in the group phase.


No Thorzain would've won.

Without the extended series Thorzain won a game, then Mc, then Thorzain, then MC Hence the 4-2 final score. If it hadn't been extended tho, it would've been thorzain won, then MC, then thorzain won ending it at 2-1 thorzain.


Stop with the fucking hypothetical situations. If it wasn't an extended series you can't say that Thorzain would've won because MC would've had a very different mentality while playing. At the end of the day, both players knew the setup of the tournament and MC beat Thorzain. Stop bitching, stop making excuses, and fucking accept it. If you want to talk about extended series being shitty, make a different thread for that. But for fuck sake stop with this hypothetical fanboy bullshit whining about how Thorzain should've won. It's enough. Focus on what games are going on now.


Best explanation given. thumbs up

I think there's a fundamental disconnect between people arguing on opposite sides of the extended series debate. The people in favor are looking at it from a purely player vs. player point of view, where everything that has happened between two players should count. The people against are looking at it from an overall tournament point of view, where the first result already affects the tournament and so there shouldn't be an advantage the second time around.

I don't think this is really a gap that can be bridged because neither position is really inherently correct. It depends on how you feel about who most deserves to win the tournament.
Zero fighting.

Thank you.


Image macros are basically pictures with block text on them. "Eagles" refers to the eagle stream.

Im sorry i don't understand this extended series stuff. In every sport or competition, players or teams who have succeeded earlier like in a regular season either gets buys or home court BUT NEVER GAMES! NEVER!

If a player won 2-0 earlier, let them pick maps, give them an edge, do not damage the matches by giving 1 player a 2-0 or 2-1 lead in games. this is not credible. Its a joke, a sham, ridiculous, bush league ect.....

Please change this. It has already effected Thorzaim vs MC, and may effect idra vs MC later. STOP IT. YOUR RUINING YOUR TOURNAMENT.


There is no regular season at MLG. Jeez, what is so hard to understand. Extended series like this is basically a bo7 played at different times.

No it isn't you idiot. People play different matches with different motivations. Idra played that sloppily against Thorzain in the pool match because he had already was in 1st place, but if he knew that he could possibly be put up against TZ again with a 0-2 disadvantage maybe he would put up more effort into it.


Wow, easy with the name calling there friend. You're calling me an idiot then you go on to prove my point. So who is the idiot now?

I def agree that it's like a best of 7 played at the different time. It's idra's own fault if he threw away 2 games and it came back to bite him in the butt

If ThorZain had won their first series 2-0 and then gone on to win the series, I can garuntee you that nobody would be complaining. All I'd read is "THORZAIN SO GUD" and shit like that. Double standards yo.


thumbs up dude. the rule is fair if it applies to everybody. COME ON, accept it like a man. Nobody is saying TZ is not good, is just that he lost, stop whining.

Lol I so dont give a fuck that it was Thorzain who lost due to extended series.
The extended series is just inheritely unfair to whoever lost first because it punishes this palyer TWICE for loosing.
I wont go through the hassle to explain it to you, because it should actually be obvious.

But just one thing, there is noone else in the whole world, no sc2 competion, no other sports competion, that uses this extended series rule besides MLG. Because it is just pure nonsense.


If Thorzain won 2-1, then his head-to-head with MC would be 2-3, but Thorzain would advance. It punishes MC for winning first (exactly the opposite of what you said).

That is the rationale for extended series.

At least argue against the right thing.


MC already gets rewarded for winning first by getting seeded more highly into the championship bracket.


That's a reward for performing better in the pool but not exactly a reward for performing better than the particular member that he won before.

Extended series is basically used to make the double elimination fairer, especially for the final. Think about this, if there is a player who never lose a series until the finals. Then he loses to someone who he have beaten before ans loses the title. That player would be playing in a single elimination (since he can lose only once) while his opponent(s) play in a double elimination system (have to chance for the title). The main aim of the extended series should be to prevent this scenario.
