I got classes soon, dang, I was hoping I would get to see Squirtle play before I have to go. If I don't get to watch you live, good luck Squirtle! Startale fighting!

The crowd doesnt seem to be very excited anymore as well, cant blame them, for me that tournament is over.

i care if nestea wins. he's a boss.


Yes ok I also really like Nestea, but what im trying to say is that the tournament would be 10x more exciting if a foreigner was fighting for the title, the same goes for MLG.

I guess you cant really do much about it but its just sad and bad for the tournaments as well.

terrible game that time -.-. Zerg plays well for 25 minutes takes a small lead, terran falls more and more behind, but just one really bad engagement from nestea and gg. No fun to watch

It wasn't just "one really bad engagement," though certainly there is some truth to your statement. Nestea donated his entire banelings (= gas) for that dumb attempt to blow off the CC. He could have backed off when alive lifted the CC but he kept going toward the high ground (= no vision, tanks waiting)

Squirtle champion IPL4!

calling it right now !!!

Since there's only two players left, its not that big of a "call"



aLive, Nestea and Squirtle all still in it. Winner of Nestea v Squirtle comes up against aLive and has to win two bo5s against him. aLive needs to win one bo5 against the winner of lower bracket.


Really? That is so wrong.


That's how double elimination works.

Why should alive be the only player in the tournament without a second chance to come back just because he placed first place in the winner's bracket.

Come on, think about it for a moment.

IMO grand finals should be a no advantage field, just play one straight up BoX series. Loser bracket pays by playing more matches. At most a 1-0 advantage should be given.

I know a 1 series advantage sounds logical, but it's too huge an advantage imo. And then there's extended series, which is just beyond retarded.

There is no extended series, this is standard double elimination.

GOD i hate how MLG messed up everyone's mind about how Double Elimination works.

I know there's no extended series, learn to read. I just mentioned how retarded it is. I still think a whole series advantage is too much. Grand finals should be an even field, makes it more exciting.

It shouldn't work like that and here's why.

Imagine if Nestea comes back from the lower bracket and then ends up defeating alive in the grand finals 4-3. That would make Alive's total record against Nestea in the championship bracket 5-5 but Nestea wins?

By opting for double elimination as opposed to single elimination you HAVE to have the finals follow the same format otherwise you're in essence punishing the player who wins the winner's bracket because they're being denied the same second chance everyone else gets.

Squirtle has (at least to me) been a name ever since he won the game on Terminus against MVP. That game blew my mind

Fun fact: This is, I believe, Squirtle's first PvZ of the tournament. To my knowledge it's been all vP or vT for him.

That's not a graphic by Liquidpedia and if you would the format section and the fitting reference, then you would know that it is Bo5.
