Go look at Idras compared to Kas achievements and tell me who's more accomplished. Yes you can be good at this game and not win shit, but the point is how good can you really be if you can't stand the pressure of a Lan, and what's the real point of being "good" if you can't do anything with it but win ladder games. You can say all day about how Kas is better than Idra, and who knows maybe Kas can beat idra, but that doesn't mean he's better overall. Haypro beat Nestea, Idra has beaten Haypro tons of times, does that mean Idra is now God of zerg? No. Accomplished != good.. Kas and Idra are both accomplished and good, Kas is a player with a nice attitude, awesome macro and is known for tearing through online tournaments like knife through butter. Idra has not really a nice attitude, good macro too -- but seriously, larva injects make it so easy for any zerg to be a macro player -- and more LAN accomplishments. Kas has beaten Idra in most of their head to head matches ,online and now on LAN. I don't understand how this became a my dad has a bigger d@#k than your dad argument. . .they both top players. | ||

After seeing him not gg for the last few thousand ladder matches, you would think people had realized him not gging has little to do with emotions. That is not to say he isn't angry or "raging" when he loses to someone like kas, but he was never going to gg, no matter how the games went. | ||

The rules are standard, they're good. + direct results don't count in this situation, that's the whole point of a tree way tie. Gruppy won 2-0 vs DeathAngel -> He should advance! Sen won 2-0 vs Grubby -> He should advance! DeathAngel won 2-0 vs Sen -> He should advance! -> Problem ^^ Yeah sure you can play tiebreakers between those players, but that can cost you a lot of time. At one IEM (think Kiew) they had a three way tie between 3 players (Socke and Sjow were 2 of them I believe) and player A kept beating player B, but kept losing to player C who kept losing to player B. Such things can really mess up the tournament schedule. So the rule as it is, is a good thing. DeathAngel and Sen both were able to beat DeViL 2-0, whereas Grubby dropped a map and is out. Nothing unfair about this. | ||

We are currently playing out all the groups but without streamers due to the time. Really tense. After this we will make the draws of tomorrows groups offline in the player-area as soon as huk vs eeel and seala vs titan is done. Stay tuned on our binarybeast to see the advancing players of today and tomorrows groups. Cheers. | ||
