Like every team in a double elimination bracket, IM has the right to lose a Bo5 once. So if Liquid wins the first Bo5, another one will be played. If IM wins the first Bo5, it's over. So not 2 Bo5's regardless of outcome. | ||

I dunno But then again, if the objective was to force out TaeJa early, he succeded... Trouble is that you need to also kill him, not just lure him out Listen, IM got to the finals with a score of 20-4 without playing Mvp or Nestea once, It's not because of bad lineup picks that TL is ahead. | ||

He always seems to play shit according to half the people here, yet he still keeps winning. Maybe koreans can only beat good players, and when they come up against someone as awful as Taeja, they just don't know what to do. | ||

Because IM came from WB finals and TL came from LB finals. So if IM loses its like they're now knocked into losers bracket and its just a fair last Bo9 to settle it. So if IM loses first Bo9 its like getting knocked into losers bracket and meeting the winner of the losers bracket (TL) But if IM wins TL is knocked out because they're still technically "in the losers bracket". | ||

At this very moment in sc2, i would put him up against any one in a box series and expect him to win. Hes looked so strong in the late game in this series, i think he has to be sniped for im to win right now. He looks like MKP earlier this year. | ||

If IM wins the first one it's done. And it's being done to give the team from the winners bracket an advantage over the team that has lost once already. | ||

2 BO9's because each team is allowed to lose 1 game! Liquid lost vs Slayers and was sent to the lower bracket. IM has not lost a series. So, if IM were to lose this series, there will be another series played so things are fair....no one has an advantage based on format. | ||
