Rod Breslau @Slasher Huk is out, and brackets are up. TL teamkill with Korean favorites HerO and Taeja in the first round. All Koreans same side of the bracket. 21m Richard Stanway Richard Stanway @R1CH_TL @Slasher Totally by chance of course. 20m Rod Breslau Rod Breslau @Slasher @R1CH_TL are you saying it's not? 8m Richard Stanway Richard Stanway @R1CH_TL @Slasher Actually I'm wrong about it being Winter, as far as I can tell this group selection for the bracket hasn't been used before. 2m Fredrik Korsbäck Fredrik Korsbäck @hugge_ @R1CH_TL @Slasher we did it like we did on Stockholm (and winter ). Randomized with seeding intact. Split it into each side of bracket. so who will ban R1CH for bracket fixing insinuations? | ||

Or D played more strategically by playing poorer strategies so he could face B. Either way, C didn't play well enough when it was all on the line. The map scores don't matter at all. C played better than D overall. It's unfair because one player gets a free win and one player gets a sure loss. No need to overcomplicate that simple fact. | ||

 On top of that, he beat slivko. I know it went off of map score, but still, to be tied with someone you beat and seeing them pass is just very upsetting | ||

Other than that judging by his name he's a high-ranking member of the Protoss or pro at being a tosser, I suspect neither of those tho  He got some skill for sure! He played some awesome games in the open and group stages so far. | ||

HerO vs Ret finals. Lets go! It is decided randomly. Also while I would love to see Ret in finals I doubt it. He is still having major issues with any kind of immortal push. | ||

As SC2 is a strategy game in my opinion there's actually more skill involved this way, rather than a game composed of more very safe builds that more or less just win after a certain amount of time. Plus, the threat of cheese keeps a lot of builds in check, which you don't get when you need to try your best to never lose even a single game. Well if you say that it depends on one's point of view than you can't argue that one system is clearly inferior to the other one. And as people have already pointed out, you're wrong about your assumption that players HAVE to go for a 2-0 every match. | ||

Also, inControl and khaldor doing an excellent job. They litterally cast more than I am able to watch. Impressive. Yeah, I really think they make for a great casting duo, with some more time casting together, we have some tastosis destroyers here . | ||

Also look at the Netherlands - got knocked out of Euro2012 only because they lost all 3 games. So unfair. It's a conspiracy! UEFA use an unfair system that only allows the winners of football matches to advance? How messed up is that? Corruption, I tell ya... LOL  | ||

Stephano gets them the most viewers period, why the hell would they devise some conspiracy to most likely get him eliminated and get less viewers and thus less $$. Grow up kiddies, random bracket is the most fair way and it won't always go the way you like it. Well im not a guy who thinks in conspiracy theory's or anything but i would kinda like to see a draw for the final bracket live in the open. Like in other sports with little balls in bowls etc in front of a audience and players, something like that. SHould be cool to see reaction from players/audience etc plus it gives some extra legitimacy to a draw | ||

Otherwise, sLivko would be out, although he beat Stephano, who would advance. So you would have to go with HuK and sLivko, which would be unfair, because Stephano beat HuK. and so on.... There is no other way for three-way-ties than map-score. | ||
