IEM Season VI - Global Challenge New York If you look at group B, DRG had an overall score of 5-3 in his group with 2-1 in BO3 stats. Gatored had an overall score of 4-4 in his group with 2-1 in BO3 stats. Yet Gatored beat DRG 2-1 in their BO3. This caused conflict on what would count highest: their individual head-to-head record or their overall group win/loss ratio. Thus, the IEM referee accidentally made the wrong call, and did not realize it until now: thus DRG and Gatored should switch places in their group and therefore also their matchups in the quarter finals. I can understand why this happened... but really, it shouldn't have. It shouldn't have... | ||

This way all players get the chance to play the right matchups. Yea, I understand that and I get their point of view. At the same time, TT1 is now at a disadvantage. He'll have had to win more games than anyone else to win the tournament. I get that seeding is important, but it's not like TT1 was up 1-0 when they noticed. He won out the entire series, and had advanced. I know that the Koreans are definite favourites to win, but at the same time, I just don't feel that changing the result is the right way to go. In my view, it's IEM's fault for fucking up. Who gets punished for their fuck up? TT1. Not cool. | ||

They didn't change any results. The games just didn't matter. They follow the rules and it's the right thing to do after such a bad mistake. | ||

And just imagine for a second that TT1 would have went to finals or even won the event and someone then found out about the mistake. Could you handle the outrage that would break out for sure? IEM did a mistake and corrected it, so there is nothing wrong with it. TL;DR I congratulate the IEM staff for having to balls to publicly apologize and try to correct the error instead of just "playing along". | ||

How do these people get fucking paid full time to do this shit? Imo it would be more unfair to not change the results... I do not understand what you are talking about tbh. Did NASL crew get "paid full time for that shit" during the first weeks of NASL season 1? Because that was way worse than this... | ||

So apparently DRG was actually supposed to be #1 in his group and they had to switch him and gatored in the brackets? And they decided to make this change after TT1 already beat Gatored? Is that an accurate recap? If so, this has to be the worst decision in the history of tournament administration. As someone that has personally overseen over 100 tournaments, I can tell you this is exactly how you don't handle this sort of situation lol Yeah, you got it. And now TT1 will play DRG. | ||

It'd change out the prize distribution completely. With the old bracket a foreigner was going to at least take home 2nd place. Now a it can be Korean top 3. Obviously this unfavourable for TT1, but continuing with the old bracket gives a disadvantage to DRG who by the rules got 1st place in his pool. | ||

IEM sent TT1 on a "cab ride" just before his game with Gatored. The plan was that TT1 would never return from this "cab ride" but something went wrong. TT1 came back and 3-0'd Gatored which could mean only one thing - time for plan B. Carmac has prepared a speech that he thought he had hoped he would never have to use. But when the time has come he was as ready as ever and told the world that it was their mistake - that the wrong game was played and that Gatored is still in the tournament. Now Gatored will go on to play TOP, who knows he might even win, but if he doesn't TOP should watch his back, the ESL knows no limits. My (safe) bet is that Gatored will win IEM New York, you heard it here first. | ||
