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. lol wut? If Snute beats Ret, Ret beat Slivko, Slivko beat Snute, how would you like that to be settled? The system isn't silly. People are. | ||

It's a 5 step process, which no one can ever remember.

That's how hero got knocked out at Kiev. | ||

Silly group system is silly. tl;dr: Double elimination group stages ala GSL not silly at all if snute beats Ret its Snute > Ret > Slivko > Snute So every player beat another one, but one has to go down. Why is mapscore not fair then? | ||

Groupstage Top 2 of each group advance to the playoffs. In StarCraft II the first ranked players of each group will face a random second ranked player from another group in the first round of the playoffs. In League of Legends and Counter-Strike the first ranked team of Group A will face the second ranked team of Group B and so on. If two or more players are tied by points and round/map difference after the groupstage the final ranking will be decided by ... 1. points among tied participants 2. map difference among tied participants 3. number of won maps among tied participants 4. overall map difference 5. overall number of won maps | ||

Because it's not Snute > Ret > Slivo > Snute, but rather Slivko > Ret because he beat Dakkon 2-0 who's results didn't matter anymore (even though Slivko might win 2-0 if he played earlier just as easily). Assuming Ret gets 2-0ed by Snute. | ||

if he loses to snute 2-0 and slivko beats dakkon (which he should do) then ret is out and i dont even think that its very unlikely that snute beats ret... slivko outplayed in game 1 and in game 2 he was too indecisive with his spines but that was probably because he was nervous and the third game slivko was a bit too greedy vs ret's pretty all-in-ish push.. would have been happy about an upset and i really like slivko actually and i like snute as well so i actually hope that he beats ret and both of them move on eventhough i like ret as well thats the problem with zerg groups i realld dont know who to root for | ||

It's straight-up, simple, and makes sense. | ||
