WR is 2-1, MMA is 1-2.

They will hold an online tournament to decide later on.

Despite the internet difficulties, IPL production quality is still awesome.
When they got their setup actually working, there were almost no downtimes between the sets and the stage and little things like short player cams are really neat.
Playoff brackets should be great this weekend.

nice job ign/ipl. the top 10 i saw looked ridiculously awesome, the split screen is something i've been waiting for people to take further advantage of. (let's see some split screens during live casts!) keep me up to date on the armor/weapons upgrades pls!

Does anyone know what happened to the open bracket? Are they still playing because it doesn't look complete yet.

Not only did theSTC not have to play vs Idra with an auto-win but he got to sit there and watch Whitera as he played 2 grueling series... oh please give me a break, have you ever watched white-ras stream? guy plays like 50 games a day, you really think 6 games in a row with 5 minute break is anything to him? these are professionals... there used to it. playing ladder and playing high level pro games are completly different Idra actually made a comment about this idea of endurance last night during that awesome panel. He basically said, while tournament games are a bit more taxing on players, fans overplay the whole endurance factor. The pros do play tons of games in a row, so they are definitely used to the conditions. it's ironic that someone like idra talks about endurance when he himself forfeit games so he can sleep.
can you stfu. it was severe jetlag. he was travelling HEAPS with barely any rest/sleep.

Yes read the OP. Huge internet problems delayed them so much they didn't even bother to finish playing GrpC and Idra forfeited GrpD.

GrpC only played 2 sets and then they decided to completely randomize the seed selection. Idra flew in from China literally yesterday and then was forced to stay all up all day/night for his games, which then got delayed several hours because of internet issues. He then decided that forfeiting to 4th seed and getting rest was better than wasting his mentality and energy trying to win $1000 when $30,000 is on the line later on.
Idra had all night yesterday to rest...guess he was up partying instead? and didn't he spend the entire day playing with Lani?

Is there any way to watch the stream from the beginning again? Missed the first group stage.

I actually think the internet going down was a blessing in disguise.
IGN had to scramble and adopt a "Homestory Cup" type of product. I think it's good that they have experience with that type of production that they otherwise would not have gotten.
They will probably see the stream numbers for those secondary streams and see how nice the casual video content is and how important it is for future tournaments.
And of course they will now know to have satellite trucks...

o yes.. thanks for the correction my irrational love for white-ra was getting stirred by the thought of him possibly getting screwed over

Awesome! Best news of the day. I'm glad to see Machine earning some respect, I've always been a fan.

White Ra went 2-1
2:1 vs Idra 2:1 vs MMA 0:2 vs STC
4:4
MMA went
1:2 Ra 1:2 STC 2:0 IdrA
4:4
Same differential, but the head to head goes to White Ra I'd believe.

So when will the championship brackets go up?
