Stay positive, be happy and enjoy the event. Caster bashing and player bashing? Too much whining? Uh-oh! | ||

Seriously, if you guys think the way to win is play the best people in an elimination tournament you are just totally wrong. Sure on the ladder, in practise play them. On the main stage, give me the weaker player every time. | ||

But that is just not possible scheduling/streaming wise. No that's a very unusual answer. The obvious answer is either to randomize playoffs or to do MSL-style group play where you are never through by losing your last game. | ||

It increases your chances of winning and it is winning mentality. You are looking for the best edge.

On the main stage, give me the weaker player every time. I think that's because you have absolutely no competitive spirit or sense of sportsmanship. Throwing games for money is always morally reprehensible, they should face DQ. | ||

Just put all winners in one bowl and then put the 2nd place finishers in another and problem should be solved.. It can happen in any sort of group play. Say you have 2 teammates in group play, if one is winning the group they can throw a game to their teammate to secure their #2 spot, or at least force a tiebreaker. | ||

Seriously enough QQ. Can't be bothered to defend players from those arguing WIN WIN WIN. FUN FUN FUN IMO. FUN WIN FUN. or WIN FUN WIN. Seems fine to me. At least they didn't just instantly leave. And for the rules against it. You can't. I mean by that rule Idra should of be DQ'd for leaving against MMA because he was winning and left. Was he trying to avoid the next player he'd meet? No. Clearly not. Yes you could argue that you know why they are doing what they are doing. But you cannot say for certain they are playing to lose. They are playing to be crazy imo. | ||

I don't think either should be disqualified, but I think that competitions should not allow this to happen, and I'm disappointed by both of the players. Yes, I would. I don't know how ESPORTS followers obtained this white knight mentality that they believe all players have to abide to. If we as a community truly want SC2 to become mainstream and held up to the same regard as other sports shit like this will happen a lot more often. Is it wrong? Maybe, but players have to make these decisions for themselves, they shouldn't be held to the ridiculous standards of forum users who only look our for their self interest, in this case entertainment value. | ||

Until then get off your high horse. blame the tourney. | ||

Rather blame the tournament structure than the players imo. Why is everyone saying this? Just because someone gets an opportunity to cheat does not mean it is OK to do so!! So are all of you the kind of person that would find a wallet on a street with money in it but also the owner identity, take the money and throw away the wallet?! | ||

Nope, that would be against the law. | ||
