The reason for double elim is so the draw is not as big of a deal compare with single elim...

2-0 like a champ, it's so great to see aLive finally getting his payday. His play vs Genius last GSL was such a poor representation of his skill to be honest.


I don't know.

Genius was just looking absurdly good last season. When Genius turned it on, MC looked like crap against him.


Yeah Genius definitely played the best PvT of his life in that series in my opinion, by aLive didn't really look good at all, Genius trounced him with ease.

Double elimination is extremely standard?

Yeah, but I think what he's getting at is that the fairness of giving the WB winner an advantage should be reconsidered because it makes for a poor finals. Having both players start off fresh and having only one bo5 would make for a better final than two bo5, even though it is less 'fair'.


It's a lot less fair and I don't think that it's worth making that kind of sacrifice for a more even final. This is a crux of double elimination, but you can't just give everyone a shot at double elimination except for the player who performed the best in the tournament.

If you don't want the double Bo5 finals then I'm fine with single elimination tournaments but I absolutely do not agree with removing double elimination at the last minute just to force a closer final.

Very different scenario. A lot more mind games in a BO3, plus Squirtle hasn't gone his 2 base colossus which he had so much success with against MMA and MKP.

Maybe Alive studied his styles from each of the games? I'm not sure, the strategies have been totally different from Squirtle though

He is probably running out of gas and had to play pretty quickly after the Nestea series.

It is not fair to the players. SQUIRTLE NEEDS TO WIN TWO Bo5 = SIX GAMES, that is ONE MORE than AN ENTIRE FUCKING TEAM NEEDED TO WIN IN THE GSTL.



When has Bo5 equaled 6?


winning two bo5s equals winning 6 games.

Good Morning!
Just got up and didn't expect to see some live IPL action now. Has there been some downtime or was everything going as planned?


It's IPL4. Of course there has been "some" downtime. =/

Commercials between every game, long delays between sets even though there are 4 booths (2 for the current match, 2 for players on deck to set up in), and some horrible long promotional contest before the last game for losers finals.

Unlucky games for sure, but Alive is playing really well. Hard to say it couldn't go the same way in more ideal circumstances.

GG Squirtle. Alive can now do well executed cheeses fo the next 3 games and expect it to work at least once

I think aLive has learnt from MMA and MKP's mistake. They were playing greedy and blind as is pretty much stadard in current PvT meta game. But aLive is keeping right on top of scouting so he has a much better idea of what's going on.

aLive scouts, that's one of the HUGE differences between his TvP playstyle and MMA/MKP
