That really pissed me off. That series was pivotal, deciding whether MC made it into the top 20 or not, but Select just turned it into a joke. He handed MC a top 20 spot. I wanted to see him earn it.
MC is locked into the top 6, being two games ahead of the next player in his bracket, and Select is locked into the top 2. The series meant nothing for either of them, except for Select's overall league standing.

This sort of thing can (and does) happen in other sports a lot. Say in (American) football, a team that has clinched the playoffs may sit their best players for extra rest or to avoid injury, even if their opponents are fighting for a spot.
I'm really glad they played that series, the biggest NASL disappointment has been the players that don't even show up for their games.
This is true, and not exposing your builds is basically the same as resting players. However, something should have been on the line here, the #1 overall seed for select. Sadly because of a flawed tournament format nobody wants the #1 overall seed.

Enjoy that last series for what it was: a game played merely for fun with almost nothing on the line :D

Just remember, if its on the internet, it is totally, 100% true and everybody is taking everything seriously. Like those last two games.

Okay, time to put my serious face on:
That was actually really bad. Not cause of the quality of games (they were awesome!), but because of the major problems that the NASL system has. Select threw away a game to benefit from the seeding, which is really bad, and should never take place. There should always be an incentive to win.
More importantly, MC got an unfair seeding advantage by getting a free win. Whoever played Select last would be guaranteed a win, whereas in all the other games of the season Select was playing the games to win. MC's free win puts him at advantage, seeding wise over lots of other players in the tournament.
Admittedly, it's not an actual problem, and I doubt that there will be major repercussions from this, but it does show the disaster that is NASL pool play format.
BUT! We got to BCs and Carriers. So I'm happy.
Is this your first time watching a sports style event that has a regular season and playoffs? This stuff happens all the time. There's literally nothing wrong with it.

Why change his name to steak? Better question, why haven't you changed your name to steak?

If Ret wins he will be #1 seed otherwise it is Strelok.

I was horribly disappointed with the Select vs MC series. It was a perfect example of why divisional play is bad. It was clear that Select threw the last two games so he wouldn't have to face the open tournament winner first round (who is undoubtedly going to be a much stronger opponent than the lowest seeded NASL qualifier)
It sucks because I was looking forward to this match more than any other match in NASL all season long.
NASL...sigh. I hope next season that you go with 4 man OSL format.

In sports events teams want the #1 overall seed. In NASL nobody does.
