What? Since when does 'games won' have priority over 'sets won'? I thought they look at number of sets won before number of games won? Since Whitera went 2-1 in sets and MMA went 1-2 in sets then Whitera gets priority?
I thought games only mattered if for example two players went 1-2, THEN they check at games won?

Um do you KNOW this? Or are you guessing? I assume people either at the tournament or IPL staff WOULD know (to answer your question "who knows").
I could imagine them also trying to fit them in in the morning tomorrow. I guess by the sound of it they are NOT playing any more tonight...
Again, does anyone have any info on this? Are they just going to coinflip the rest of the seeding and start with tournament play tomorrow morning? Or will they finish off the open bracket tournament first before going into bracket play?
Thanks

A link gets posted on this thread (OP) when it's ready. You can already watch the Day1 ones on their Day 1 LR thread.

No one forces him to play every tourney. He chooses to play in these so it is his fault.

If he was really that tired, why did he even bother to play his first match against White-Ra then? Other players got free forfeit wins, and because of this, bracket is messed up and white-ra is possibly going 3rd seed (forfeit wins against: mma 2-0, stc 2-0, while white-ra is 2-1)
White-Ra is 2-1: he won against IdrA and MMA.
MMA is 1-2: he only won the forfeited match.
White-Ra isn't gonna get 3rd place.
Also, stop talking about IdrA. It's so obvious his entire attitude is just made to fuel drama, and by keeping it up you just play his game.

I can confirm that some people are just coin flipping the rest of the open bracket matches.
KawaiiRice and viOlet coin flipped and violet won~~

Wrong, MMA went 1-2 in matches just as your scores indicate.

Blaming IdrA for being exhausted after just arriving in Atlantic City from China is unreasonable. The management of the tournament is the issue. I'm not blaming them for losing the internet (this is borderlining on an act of god), but they decided to organize the schedule the way they did. They should've bumped the open bracket over and put the pools on the 2nd stream, for example. Bumping the open games wouldn't have slowed down the tournament, but not bumping did and significantly.
Ultimately, IdrA realized that he has to play well tomorrow, and that it really won't matter that much if he forfeits his games since he's not out of the tournament anyway. And not only that, in the state of mind he was in from the jet lag and sleep deprivation, he most likely realized that if he couldn't beat White Ra, he wouldn't beat MMA and STC.
edit: the fact the open is being coin flipped just shows that the current format is not reasonable even for non-jet lagged players. Too much in too little time. And man, the open's not even done. Did Machine really beat DeMuslim or was that a coinflip? If Machine plays his games all the way to the end against PuMa, they'll be up til like, what , 5-6 AM?
