Does anyone know if ANYONE has ever actually won a finals from the loser bracket in this kind of tournament?

I mean ever, any esport game, shit even real sports. Is it even possible to beat the person who probably beat you earlier...twice in a row?


Yeah, it has happened already.

IM coach: I knew if Teaja played enough games he would get tired. My plans have worked.

more like eventually protoss will kill him at end game.


Taeja was ahead the entire late game. If he had forced a direct engagement he would have roflstomped Seed.

Taeja threw it away by getting all his units trapped in Seed's base, not because "Protoss OP late game".


How is being on 1 mining base vs 2/3 being ahead? In what fucking universe ...


Taeja was constantly up 20-30 supply and had a bank lol

Ye, I feel like he shoulda just forced an engagement much earlier, it was maxed vs 150 supply at one point.

Seed wasn't maxed becuase he kept supply open for harass. he knew taeja wasn't going to kill him so he felt safe to keep supply open. Seed was ahead for most of the late game since the harass began,
hi. big fan.

Why does TL have to win 2 BO9's and IM only one BO9?


Loser's bracket

To elaborate slightly, it's because Liquid was the loser's bracket winner in a Double Elimination tournament, and IM hasn't lost a match yet, whereas, Liquid had, therefore, Liquid needed to win 1 Bo9 to reset it for the Grand Finals. Stupid format, imho.



Ummm... yes, that's a pretty dumb format.


Why is that dumb? Liquid has already lost a series, IM hadn't


Past series should have no relevance in the next upcoming series or the finals. In major sports, all that happens is you get 1 extra home court game or something that really doesn't make much of a difference, what if every sport had 2 grand finals because one team had a near undefeated run and the other didn't? it wouldnt be accepted.

Edit: I might be understanding it wrong.


You are understanding it wrong. If you're using a Basketball analogy, you'd have to convert the NBA playoffs into a double elimination bracket tournament. It's stupid to allow a team to go into the Loser's bracket and come back and win the Grand Finals in one series. This is the fundamental part of the double elimination format and a pretty simple concept.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Those ghosts, man.

Also Seed shows why he is GSL champion. Time for Hero.


I don't think Hero is going out, not with Hero being so weak PvP and Seed so strong in it.

I think TLO or haypro, as funny as that sounds.


You better send HerO in a bit weaker and coinflippy match up... but sending out TLO or HayprO against Code-S Champion seed with insane PvZ, you gotta be kidding us.

It would be a great stomp, and way to show how dependent TL is on their koreans.



LOL you've been on about this for over how many thread pages?
with a negative attitude like yours, betting on underdogs is what makes it that much more exciting for me.

remember that post earlier that exposed so many others posters who 'knew' that taeja was dead, dead dead (against yonghwa?
then how taeja miraculous pulled it off?

yeah, that moment was sweet too.


You must be so brave to support the most successful player in the scene today.

Damn that was close...
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞
