isnt it better when you have a 8player tournament to just make 2 groups of 4 and have a groupfase and top 2 advance..

im quite dissapointed in all these tournaments having terrible structures, even though its bo5 its still a bit shit to come all the way for 1 match.


Notice how no one was complaining about the tournament format until after Huk lost..


seriously no international tournament should have a structure where you lose 1 game and your out. its retarded.


Oh wait, HuK plays in a showmatch against Idra on Sunday for $1000 too.

yeah but not everyone plays those showmatches, so im talking about players that knocked out in the first round and got no more matches to play.

I expect that people would then demand a double or triple series of games cause winning one series of BOX isn't legitimate for a tournament....

That would mean quite a lot more matches and since it is played at a gaming expo, they probably don't have time for double the matches

They are budgeting for ~6 hours on each of the first two days. If they were able to get another two PC's and stretch it to 7 hours, and if we assumed that a best of 3 takes on average an hour (maybe conservative), they have the time for not just two groups of 4, but all-play-all. that's 28 series, so you need 28 hours of PC time - you have 14 hours, so if you have an extra couple of PC's to play two series at once, you're fine. Play the final between the top two on the Sunday and bin some of the showmatches. that it's best of three is not so bad as any given series will not knock you out

Gods forbid you're paid to fly around the world playing starcraft and getting shots to win more money in a single elim 8 man event than you can after a whole MLG. Woe is me, life is so unfair.

Who made the bracket? why a PvP first round??? can't they just replace Huk/elfi with anyone except ret???????

Probably HuK seed 1. and elfi seed 8. so they get paired up in the first round, simple.


Except there aren't seeds from pool play or something else.

Or loser's bracket.

or anything.

Random Drawing?
lets try to do the math:
there are 3 protoss in 8 players, which adds up to a probabilty of 3/8 * 2/8 for a protoss mirror matchup.
that is 9.3% on the first draw, thats not too shabby.
assuming we are in the "it did not happen" case, we still have 2 protoss left in 6 players.
so add to that 9.3% a 2/6*1/6 chance that the mirror was drawn on the second try, which is a 5.5% chance.

adds up to almos 15% of a protoss mirror.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

People seem to be forgetting the whole 1000 euro Showmatch series thingy. That's a lot of money for a single Bo5.
