EPTMLG Raleigh Day 1 RED Live Report Thread - Page 497
| Forum Index > StarCraft 2 Tournaments |
Obligatory public note for all large tournament threads: The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans: 1. Whining about stream 2. Bashing other games 3. Flaming other users 4. Bashing players 5. Complaining about imbalance. It is in no way complete. Keep in mind that there's a difference between pointing out that the SC2 and CoD streams were switched and whining about it (same thing on pointing out/asking about stream lag and whining about it, etc.). Also, just because you post something and aren't immediately banned for it doesn't mean you won't get caught. We'll be going through this thread very carefully. That being said, enjoy today's games! Time stamp: page 38, 6:23. | ||

It's a 2-0 lead in the extended series which is absolutely fucking retarded, this happened with White-ra but his opponent suicided twice to make it an even series. It's completely idiotic that you can get a lead over a player you never faced, if your opponent is a no-show your advantage is getting a Bye and not having to play the series to advance, the extended series rule is meant to maintain fairness so someone doesn't advance over someone else without having a better head-to-head record against them, but if they never fucking played then they should start at 0-0. | ||

You have to play a ton more games if you lose, you'd have to go through a large number of players for avoiding one and in the current system, you would entirely miss pool play when going through the open bracket. On top of that, you'd still have to face them later(in your given example) so you aren't avoiding anything. I can't think of a single situation where intentionally no-showing would be worth it. | ||

Purposefully bring worse players? Yup I sure hope so. I know people in LA were begging to have NJ Nets games aired instead of the Lakers... | ||

If you just play them you play him, and then some opponents in winner's. If you throw the game you play a ton of opponents in losers and then him, possibly with a handicap if he won winner's. How is that an advantage? | ||

We should equalize the competition. Only Code A playas. If you want to watch Code A caliber players, go watch Code A (I'm doing it as well from time to time). But at MLG, I want the bests, because... well... who the hell doesn't want to want the bests? I don't care if they are dominating and/or constantly reach top 6. MLG is a high-level StarCraft II competiotion, not some "try to make foreigners look good" act. Terrible suggestion. | ||

Not sure how people are just now watching games from yesterday. I'm interested in knowing if that's possible while I wait for the stream to start  | ||

MLG is a high-level StarCraft II competiotion, not some "try to make foreigners look good" act. Terrible suggestion. To kind of equalize the competition I think more top European players should consider coming to MLG. No offense to the other players of course but it seems like there's a lack of European players especially this MLG. Mouz should really consider sending someone, I'd love to see MaNa and MorroW there and iirc MorroW has been at an MLG before. | ||

I think so too, but I also think that sending a player to MLG wouldn't be really worth it, beacuse nobody can really deliver truely great results after fighting through the open bracket. MLG's system just causes more and more koreans participating, while the good foreigners, who aren't already seeded into poolplay, keep avoiding traveling to MLG. This results to a lack of represantation of the european scene. | ||
