Contrary to popular belief Stephano is not from the States, any mindless spam asserting otherwise after this time (19:48 KST/ 5:48 AM EST/ 10:48 GMT) will meet a moderator response. We have enough confusing spam posting in LR threads these days. Lets try to keep the love for everyone's favourite French zerg reasonable. And as always: - No player bashing. - No caster bashing. - No balance whining. Enjoy the games. | ||

It was plenty balanced, the players who preformed the best advanced. Group play is a standard model used in many tournaments and only now whined about cause some Stephano fanboys are butt hurt he didn't get through. If MC won none of these kids would be whining. Never followed any sports event? Group stage is inherently unfair at times and causes whining. No need to flame. | ||

If Stephano had won vs MC and they forced a rematch playoff then the same kids would be whining that that's unfair and "stephano already beat him". These kids will whine about whatever prevents their favorite player from advancing in any particular tournament. That's a very good point you're making there. Except that it's completely wrong since many people (me included) have stated that they didn't care whether DRG or Stephano got through. | ||

Take your witty comment and leave the LR thread lol. | ||

Still amazing that MVP could win WCG and 24 hours later qualify through his group. Really articulates how much ahead he is of everyone in the world. | ||

His point is that the results say M > S as well as S > D > M, which are completely contradictory. Why should we favour one over the other? Tournaments are strictly about overall performance in that a better score regardless of who you face determines how far you go. To suddenly dispense of this in the case of ties makes absolutely no sense, especially when your choice is essentially arbitrary. | ||

You have no way to know if people would complain about the format if stephano went through and you cant know if everyone posting here complaining about the format is a stephano fanboy (which they arent - at least i know i am not) . The thing is this is a very arguable format and people are discussing about it. Fanboyism is as annoying as anti-fanboyism , you know. | ||

At the same time MVP was going meca with hellions / thors, killed a lot of mutas but got rolled by roaches (lack of tanks ?) and lost. Good game overall, it could have gone either way at some point but DRG macro, decision making and the mobility of his army made the difference. All in one, what can be remembered of the last 100 pages of this thread, BO1 SUCKS ! Why ? 1) Endless discussions of who's better, why X got eliminated with same score as Y, etc. Less likely to happen in BO3 2) Matches decided by cheeses, semi all-ins etc. Lack of macro games makes me a sad panda. 3) Best reason, 10 games between best players in the world <<<< 20+ games. And there was plenty of time to pull that off as there is a full day per group. ====> GSL, next time, BO3 plx !!! | ||

To suddenly dispense of this in the case of ties makes absolutely no sense, especially when your choice is essentially arbitrary. Tournaments are most certainly NOT about overall performance. Otherwise they would have a fully connected graph. There is an inherent localization in tournaments and this is clearly an evidence of that. MC beat Stephano is more localized than Stephano beat DRG beat MC. Its quite obvious and that is why everyone uses tie breakers. | ||
