You were arguing that Head to Head should matter less than who Grubby beat that Idra didn't. You then say they should *play again* because Idra already beat him. Why should they play again? They already played and Idra won. What's the point of replaying something that already happened and we know the result of, in this tournament? You're arguing that the *results* don't matter. This makes no sense. This isn't a 3-way tie situation, where there is circular tie-breakers. Now, on your recent post makes a tad more sense. But, when you go to games lost, in a 1 to 1 comparison, you have to weigh which is a better predictor: the Head to Head match OR total losses. That's up for the tournament to decide, and I can see an argument for Game Losses before Head to Head, but that does create a situation where "who you beat" doesn't matter that much. If you want to make that suggestion, you can go to Dreamhack's site and send in the suggestion. My argument is that who you beat shouldn't matter at all, overall group results are all that matter. Grubby and Idra did exactly the same in the group, therefore they are tied. Head to head doesn't make sense the same way extended series in MLG doesn't make sense.

I think Idra beating Grubby should be cancelled out by Idra losing to somebody that Grubby beat. Grubby outplayed Idra in one sense, and Idra outplayed Grubby in another. They are even. If they play again, one of them will come out ahead, overall, and deserve to advance. I also don't think game losses are more important than wins, I think they're equal, and points (wins - losses) is the true indicator of performance in the group stage, and should be the only measure of who should advance when their bo3 wins are equal. | ||

Sarens won his place in the final and then went to sleep since it doesn't matter. Also I don't think the BYOC was intended to take that long, must have been some delays. | ||

Probably one of the Bo3s got held up in due to an 80 minute TvT or something. Maybe they got past 40 nukes. | ||

Was nice to see Grubby doing pretty well, I genuinely think the guy can step up in the coming months but we'll see, there are a lot of talented players around | ||

They need to have a set of rules to govern how ties are broken. If it was all based on playing games, then it could potentially take forever if you had a 3 way tie or something like that. Hell in IdrA's group there was a possibility of a 5 way tie for the last spot (and it was a realistic possibility too). What the hell are you going to do in that case? Have another 5 man round robin? They need rules to break ties. They picked them. The ones they chose are the most logical You may not agree with Games won as a good tiebreaker, but it is what it is. They chose it. It's not unfair to either player. There have been ties plenty of times in many tournaments and tiebreaker rules have broken them. Just because you hate IdrA or love Grubby doesn't mean they should change how tiebreakers are handled. What's more absurd is that IdrA advances over Grubby in almost every imaginable tiebreaker rule. I can't believe this argument has raged on for this long. | ||

All this arguing is irrelevant anyway since grubby and Idra are playing again to see who advances http://dreamhack.binarybeast.com/ As you can see they have added another round for the match. | ||
