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.

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 use to make the double elimination fairer. 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.


The championship is a different thing entirely, because someone coming up from the loser's bracket should be at a disadvantage against someone who got through the winner's bracket. I (and others) am arguing against having a player start from an advantage when they're both already in the loser's bracket.
Zero fighting.

I'm honestly frustrated because what can be done rather than complaining to see a more equitable format in the future? Whether its a good or bad format I'm not here to argue. But it clearly favors spectators and watching players slave away than actually getting the best SC2 in my opinion. Can you imagine a set up like that in the world cup without an uproar from both the fans and players?

So, are we starting a petition for the removal of the extended series? Are there any good reason to keep it?


They use it for Halo.


So no then


Use search. There have been tons of extended series threads already and multiple polls. The answer from MLG was no.


The reason extended series are games like Idra vs Thorzain imho. Without extended series the game would have been entirely meaningless to Idra. He was already first in his group no matter if he won or not.

It could also lead to situations were players could be tempted to hand over wins. I think the concept makes a lot of sense. For example imagine Idra and Thorzain would have belonged to the same team.


This is basically it. The viewers complain extended series hurts them, when in actuality it makes every game count.

No this is of course not it lol.
It is an extremely rare case where a player plays a game in pool play where he doesnt get an advantage by winning.
And MLG used extended series even before there was any pool play and there was a slim chance that there could be a meaningless game for a player. So its quite evident that this is not the reason.


Making every game count actually is the reason they use it. Most of there other tournaments are Bo5 and double elimination so they instituted the extended series rule to make sure all 5 games mattered.

You can tell artosis is sad that thorzain lost.

Aren't we all?


Nope, MC's the better player I'm glad he won.

no he isnt, he played a tired thorzain and won 2-2 they played a day after, thorzain would have beat him 2-1 but MLG has the rule making skills of a mentally deficient three year old

to be fair, mc beat knocked him out 2-0 already.

If IdrA wins the tourney it would be a great victory for non Koreans.
