Its not same score, Socke and SelecT are 5-3 while Killer is 5-4, ans Socke just won over SelecT. Pretty straight forward. | ||

I'd prefer tiebreaker games as well but it's still fair. It's not unfair but it's not the most effective way to do it. Map score doesn't account for the randomness and cheesy play. A playoff gives us more games and lets the players decide it head to head. I would have said the same thing if Socke got knocked out by map score. Just trying to be consistent. | ||

The Raven is what makes it so damn hard to hold, your Stalkers are worthless and the Banshees get free reign. You can do it without a Raven too. Arguably the strongest variation only spends gas on Tanks and Banshees without Cloak, you just get a huge army with insanely high dps and no exploitable gimmicks like PDD. You can also do it just fine with Cloak, Select just sort of sat in his base instead of moving out when Siege Mode was like 70% done. | ||

Just trying to be consistent. its absolute fair and best way to do it map > direct play (who beat who) and just then tiebreak same way soccer icehockey etc all sports go goals count ! | ||

Get the monthly subscription, it is the MUCH better deal. You can watch all the daily casts on Premium, and have events like this one included. My subscription is about 3 euro month (I always subscribe for 3 months). | ||

He's pretty much nexus first in nearly every single game. Though why he did it on Taldarim and Terminus where the 1/1/1/ doesn't really work is beyond me. | ||
