hum... this is really gutting...

i feel like it's so funny (strange) how Taeja's buoyancy when he wins is mirrored by HerO's devastation when he loses... lol

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.

Most sports don't have a double elimination bracket. Your analogy fails. This has been the standard in essentially every double elim. tournament ever. It's either this or extended series. Guess which one is better.


Ah I see.
Worth pointing out that the only double elim tournament that I know of that didn't have two bo5s (or some kind of advantage for the WB player) was the MSL in BW.


wcs?

You're right, GSL Code S Ro4 Hero is not a good player.

That's like saying Jinro is a top player because of his RO4 finishes. Hero got RO4 Season 1, we're on our way to Season 4. Old result is old.

Horrible production is really taking the edge out of this victory. It was great tournament overall, but damn the production during the finals sucked.

Hero losing the first Nexus put him really behind, doesn't matter the damage he killed a lot of probes, he lost too much.
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. ♞

Fucked it up all the way till the end.
What a fucking horrible tournament, I hope to god you guys learn some serious lessons about how not to fuck up almost every aspect of running one.
The only saving grace was Taeja and his amazing run.
As for IPL go fix your fucking shit.
