 Also, not sure why people didn't know this because I remember when arguing why mlg using h2h was a better tiebreaker, people countered me saying mlg was one of the few tourneys that did this and places like IEM used map score as tie breaker.To be clear, I still think h2h is the best tie breaker and gator should have been 1st in his group, but rules are rules!  | ||

Going to email Carmac, this stuff is easy for a competent admin. No kidding... tiebreaker rules are always listed in any set of tournament rules. It shouldn't take more than a minute to look up.. | ||

That rule is definitely something that should be looked at in the future though, because in any other sport with the same Match win-loss ratio the Head to Head victor always gets the higher seed. | ||

Never said that IEM is without fault here. But I do believe they handled it in the only way possible without ridiculing the whole tournament. Imagine DRG going out against TOP and TT1 somehow winning the whole event. Then a community-member spots the error in the seeding, cue an explosion of outrage all over the place. As it stands I congratulate IEM for having the balls to admit to the mistake and trying to fix it instead of screwing the tournamentrules over. Fair enough. I do agree that the conspiracy theorists are being stupid. | ||

We cannot undo that - an undeserving player is in a situation which should not have happened. Gatored got wrongly seeded into the tournament bracket as the #1 seed instead of DRG who received the #2 player's seed in the bracket. As a result, the two players were placed in the wrong part of the bracket and TT1 played a player he was not supposed to. Unfortunately the error was discovered during the match and not before. The result cannot stand. I deeply regret that such a mistake happened at such a time, but we cannot undo it. We canceled the match and fixed the bracket layout. Nothing else could be done. All I can do right now on my behalf and on behalf of the referee is apologise to the players involved in the match, their teams and the fans that followed the match. This should not have happened and I will do everything for this to never happen again. I regret this has happened and I apologise. Michał "Carmac" Blicharz It is indeed a very unfortunate misstake, and i feel very sorry for TT1. But i would also like to extend my respect for owning up to the misstake right away, and fixing it (in my opinion) the right way! Also, please do more troll interviews! :D:D:D | ||

In this case it was 2 people and a ref. And i'm assumeing since neither on them spoke up and said anything that the only person to know was the ref. | ||
