Remember guys; no caster bashing, balancing whining or player abuse - you guys should know this by now! |

I assume they were ok with the random seeding... in that case who cares what we think. If they agreed to it who are we to complain. Thanks for the update.

That would take even longer than playing out the games lol.

Go machine!!! side note: pool play was pretty useless, only for "content" actually we can thank serscoots and djwheat (slasher...too...) for suggesting to add money as an incentive!

Thank goodness it's not MLG championship brackets.
Thanks Alex, you're a real champ.

Because I could imagine they would prefer playing under these circumstances rather than having a dice deciding about their seeding. Not meaning to offend or shit on what you did, just trying to get more information about it 
They made it very clear they did not want to play.

Stream is just impossible. Bad job IPL. People talk so much about "high production values", it's total rubbish. There is no "high production values" involved when they don't even have a steady stream, let alone a over complicated website which not everyone understands. I'm not lagging at all
wow, that's such an awful way to complain. you're going to get flamed for being an idiot more than being understood for having difficulty.
because this is such a big event, even medium sized problems can create an immense amount of other problems. if you can't understand this, i don't know what to say. get ready to experience a 'bad job' from everything that happens around you in life.

So what you're saying is, Puma could play Thorzain first round?
That is like, a finals caliber matchup.

Second this. :D

You're going to have to beat the best players at some point if you want to win the tournament/place well... having to face a slightly better opponent earlier on is not the end of the world, relax he's not "screwed out of the championship". The players would probably rather have sleep and rest than play after 8 hours of waiting.

Lol this is so stupid...
thorzain won a match and gets "randomized" 4th? one of the dumbest decisions in e-sports history.

Do you really think that after all the downtown they haven't been talking to the players about the various options? Seriously? It isn't like the players are locked in a basement and IGN is in some control tower 100 miles away. If the communication to the Team Liquid community was as good as it was I have no doubt they were communicating with the ACTUAL PLAYERS IN ATTENDANCE just as well.

If you are going to play Group D, why not have Group C play in Bally's?!?!?!?! Group D waited just as long to play. Let the players decide. Ask them what they want to do.
I'm pretty sure they would have consulted the players.

In that case, I am good with the decision
