Please stop the tournament comparison discussion. Especially regarding players their runs (Stephano seems to be the current topic). Stay on topic and stick to the games. Consequences will be met out to further derailment.

Sheth is 5-2, Nani is 5-3, Cloud is 4-4. Nani and Sheth through.
Depends if they consider direct results > mapdiff or the other way arround. Anyways, seems like Nani advances either way.
It's confirmed map scores I think. Even if it's head to head results, Sheth>Cloud>Nani>Sheth, with no clear winner, so it will go to map scores. Sheth and Nani advances.

The people screaming Bo1 is shit will beg to differ.
There is no reason (strictly from a format point of view) for not doing Bo3 in the group stages for GSL. That would potetionally triple the amount of games though.

He failed Sweden and the Swedish people will pick up their pitchforks and march to the castle to dethrone the French-blooded king, Carl XVI Gustaf.

You could translate a winner's/loser's match format into BO3 and change nothing (probably save time by avoiding tiebreaks) without issues.
The point of group play is to see how everybody in the group performs relative to everybody else, not relative to one other particular player. So going by map score makes total sense.

I like the dreamhack format way way way more. My only complaint is that when there is a tie in points (won maps and h2h results don't matter) The 2 players play a Bo1 to see who goes to the next round. 3way tie would be a bit more tricky tho
Would rather have Bo3 tbh, they've no more matches today, and could easily fit in a unstreamed couple of Bo3s

It doesn't make total sense, since every player has different amounts of games played. For it to make sense, the third game would have to be played out every time, no matter the outcome of the first two.
For people saying Sheth "threw the match" because he was already through..
You understand that if Naniwa lost, he would be out of the tourney right? Naniwa, one of the strongest contenders to win the tourney, you don't think Sheth wanted to get rid of him so he doesn't knock him out later?
