i dont get this... how Ret won after spent 1.2 k and 12 larvaes in overlords? how did he got a bigger army????


He already had a bigger army and he kept producing army. Slivko got supply blocked and wasn't able to produce when he realised how far ahead on workers he was after scouting the saturation at Ret's third. Not sure if he'd have held or not without it, but it would have been a hell of a lot closer for sure.

Its just a really weird mistake in his play, he does this every other game. He sometimes makes 10 overlorrds while at 200 supply for no apparent reason. He said several times on his stream he doesn't know how to stop doing it.

He likes the 30+ free supply, it makes him easy to react and mass produce when needed, like he did this last game.


He was 100/174. Not to mention he wasn't very high econ, so mass production or reaction is pretty impossible...

Yes. If Snute wins against Ret he advances I think, right?

Snute wins 2-0 he advances. 2-1 it's a 3-way tie. (assuming slivko 2-0 dakkon, which we can be pretty safe to assume.)
If Ret wins he and slivko advances.

No. If he wins 2:1 both he and Ret are 5:3, so it will a tie because slivko will 2:0 dakkon then also being 5:3

What is even more ridiculous is that Bitter does that every single time.

Again, people still don't understand how this silly group stages go, this needs to go away.
There is still a chance slivko and snute both have a better score than ret, even though slivko already lost to ret.
Then it boils down to what is more important, map score or who beat who?
If slivko goes 5-3 and Ret ends up 4-3, SHOULD slivko still go down?
If so, why should he even try vs dakkon?
If not, how the hell is that fair to Ret that he beat someone, but they advanced because he won vs Dakkon, he actually had no incentive to try either?
Silly group system is silly.

tl;dr: Double elimination group stages ala GSL
