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. -- updated 7:55 KST | ||

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. whoever win this tournament deserve to win it. you are the best player that came out of THIS tournament. END of story. who cares if in real life TZ is the better player. Nobody will know the answer. Being the best player out of any tournament includes playing by the rule and being able to perform with the given conditions. you can only be crowned the best player in the world if you come out of MOST tournament as the winner. There is no other better way to judge who is the better player. | ||

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. The fact that it is a tournament, playing in this specific tournament format, shows that results should take the tournament as a whole into account instead of individual player vs player matchups | ||

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. No, it's not rare. Are you saying if Thorzain beat MC it would be impossible for him to play Idra? Use your brain instead of logical fallacies. | ||
