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 Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#) | ||

Which is kinda the same as games won/lost in SC2. Yeah, and it works the same way in World Championship, ChampionsLeague etc- groupstages.. | ||

Oh my mistake, I started following it part way through I guess they were the first to finish their match, so I just assumed the 2-1 I saw was from before. | ||

Considering you can lose a single map easily to the worst player in the pool it would be silly to make the first tiebreaker map results. It's correct the way it is. DRG beat Select so he won the tiebreaker. | ||

Incontrol and Demuslim both had to win extra games to get top 24. I understand you're trying to bitch about MLG's pool play system, but honestly shut up. | ||

Change the word "match" for the world "game", and my post will still have the same sense. Select lost one less game, so he should be ahead. That's the point to keep track of matches and games, in the player record. | ||

I'd even go as far to say there will be at least 5 in top 20. | ||

So in my opinion the overall performance should count more than the score of one single match. | ||

Meanwhile open bracket players have to maul their way through tons. | ||

If DRG beat Select it means DRG is better than Select (at least he was today), therefore it only makes sense that DRG goes into top 4. | ||

Those four players really REALLY need to get kicked from pool play. It's getting pathetic. Edit. Moonan is a maybe. Although he'd probably always make it through open bracket. People were saying the same thing about Tyler not too long ago. 2 MLGs later, he fought his way through 2 Open Brackets in a row. I think iNcontroL, Machine, Haypr0, and TLO would all get far in the Open Bracket. People give them too little credit. Don't get me wrong, I think they are the weakest in their pools, but they're all more or less performing at their skill levels--right in the middle of mediocrity. But to say that "they're terrible!" and they need to get thrown out is a little much. I would also say that I wouldn't mind if any of them got switched out with some of the other players who consistently get far in the Open. You could mix and match them all day long and I would agree with it. It just happens that right, iNcontroL, Machine, Haypr0, and TLO are those guys. The sad thing is that after this MLG, people are going to shit on each of them and only continue to praise the Open Bracket heroes... even though they're all at roughly the same level (with exceptions of the the Koreans). Again, people were saying the same about Tyler. But now that he's an Open Bracket hero 2 times in a row, there isn't going to be a single negative thing said about him. | ||

I think it's 5 because the extended series was 2-1 to start, but still very good for him non the less, hopefully he can keep the momentum going tomorrow.
