It always baffles me when people complain and get up in arms about the rules or format of a tournament which has had them published well in advance only after it has finished.

I don't suppose there are going to be VODs posted at some point? I was heading home for Spring Break when this was running, and thus missed it completely

Great event. I was looking forward to this for weeks and never would have dreamt that so many people (I think the peak was at 26k or 27k viewers) would tune in. This event was about fun and charity with a little incentive by TB to make things more interesting for the pros. It was his idea, his money and his tournament, so it is beyond me how and why people are turning this into a mudslinging.

I was particularly disappointed by Huk's display of manners. BM to a certain degree is fine and was obviously encouraged, but the jab at TLO was very, very low. I think it talks volumes that TLO, who is usually a very cheerful person, didn't respond to that. I have no comment for Huk's actions after the match had ended. As one of the best sponsored SC2 players, I expect a more mature attitude from him towards a bloody _charity_ event. Perhaps he should play more cups à la Playhem Daily if $250 matter so much to him.

Despite this rather ugly turn of event, I hope we haven't seen the last of monobattles yet. I enjoyed it profoundly and hope for a remake.

Wow! 26K?!? I wonder how many more wanted to watch and couldn't, I got the time zone wrong, it was over before I woke up in the morning. Also plenty had work. Will watch that vod! I haven't even seen it and it's great, TB is the bomb, Chill is the bomb, idea is amazing- cannot fail!

Idk what all this nonsense is about, always some people who find something to bitch about I suppose.


Thankyou Sir Biscuit and Mr. GetOut. Much appreciated!!

And thanks to the teams you were all very entertaining hope you had as much fun as we did watching you.

MLG implements extended series rule; some people say it's going too far in favoring the winners' bracket and "standard double elimination" is good while others demand a single fresh final.

TB obligingly provides a single Bo5 final in a showmatch tournament (let's be honest here) and the drama goes ballistic.

I'm sure we have *different* people disappointed in each case, I'm just saying...

I´m a little baffled at how serious people are taking the tournament rules, i.e. no extended series. This was intened to be a goofy, crazy and 110% unfair event. Calm down people and enjoy something unusal every once in a while.

A bit disappointed there was absolutely no reward for not going to the losers bracket. A great event nevertheless, but EG being 1-0 up in the finals would have been enough.

They should, but it doesn't sound like TB realizes that. Sounds like it's over.


Well it isn't too late to call the players back and play another best of 5.. i mean its not as if this was a lan or something. That would be the best way to do it..

Had that happened...........the outcome would have been the EXACT same.

anyone complaining about this tournament (Even if it's minor complaints) really needs to calm down. TB paid $1,000 of his own money to do this, IN ADDITION TO THIS, he also donated ALL of his ad revenue to charity. wtf have all of you negative nancy's ever done for the SC2 eSports community?

Please just say thanks to TB and then kindly stfu.

Why are you even discussing this? Rules were set. Unfairness was achieved as planned.

Some people need to grow the *&*** up. This community is awesome but the drama is 12 y/o grade. Really, are you men or some mummies watching soap operas 24/7. Seriosuly. Warn me if you wish, but the amount of drama here (not only in this particular situation) is just .... horrible.

The idea behind the format is to narrow down 4 teams to 2 and then pit the finalists against each other in a Bo5. I find it funny how no one ever complains that formats going from group stage to bracket don't perfectly respect all the results that happened in group stage beyond seeding. That is, you can finish above someone in groups and have no advantage over them in the bracket phase (except seed). Seed advantage is often very weak.

So here a double elim bracket was used to solve the problem of "we have 4 teams but we only need 2" and once it did that, the finals were played. Group stage before bracket is the same thing but with different numbers.

It's so the finals mean more on their own. If one side has an advantage going into the finals, the finals are cheapened when that side wins. This avoids that. It's a compromise between having a real finals or having a tournament with memory.
