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

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?


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.


i dont get your point at all -.-

if ret lost to snute and ALMOST LOST to slivko and wins vs dakkon why is it unfair if he goes down?

because slivko beat snute and ALMOST WON vs ret and wins vs dakkon (so he has better map score)
and snute won vs dakkon and ALMOST WON vs slivko and might win vs ret so he would have better map score as well (if he wins 2-0 at least i think if he goes 2-1 they are equal)

I dont get why you are saying that this would be unfair
(you mean just because dakkon has no reason to try anymore? because that is a) not true because he wants to proof himself at an international tournament at his home country and b) he would most likely go down 2-0 anyways as you said)


I made that pretty clear. You can't simply look at who beat who, by how many maps.
If you take the names out of the equation, maybe it can eliminate some bias.
Player 1 wins first 2 bo3.
Player 4 lost first 2 bo3 - He is out 100%.
Player 2 and 3 are in limbo.
If player 3 Beats player 4, when player 4 has nothing to gain (think Naniwa), and knocks out Player 1, is that fair?

Other way to look at it:
3 Player go 2-1 in their 3 bo3.
The 1 played his bo3 first, and went 5-3.
The 2 played his bo3 2nd and went 5-2.
The 3 played his bo3 last went 5-1, because he played an opponent who was out and didn't care to play.
1 beat 3, 1 is still out.

The point is, the best player doesn't move on, the player who got the most map wins, for non-consistent reasons, advances.

Thats a good point as well. Maybe GSL system is ok GSL, because player skills are somewhat equal. But in a tournamen like IEM where player skills within one group are that different it would be terrible.
Off-season = best season

OK. You could have made the point clear a bit earlier .
It`s right that this is a problem of round robin.
But in this case Dakkon seems to be way behind in skill of the other players (+ he wants to show the local crowd not too bad games), so this isn't something to complain about this time.

ESL system is the fairest possible way.

But GSL system is more exciting for the viewer.

dude, just stop. You DON'T GET it.
Player 1,2 and 3 beat 4 2:0.
Player 1 beats 2- 2:1
Player 3 beats 1- 2:1
Player 2 beats 3- 2:0
1 and 2 advance. THAT was the scenario, but it won't happen because Ret will roll Snute.

I think his point is that matches happen at different times and this affects the outcome somewhat, which is fair criticism.

Oh the difference one letter makes. I meant though, not thought. Both have great hair but bisu is longer.

Ret kills another player for over-droning... It's opposite day or something.

Go Ret! Great job dude!
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Ret took a year of experience of being killed for overdroning and now does it to everyone else.

Considering he generaly is so passive, players might feel over confident in droning against Ret.
