That was such a bad final, not game-wsie but the way the screen kept switching and saying "Winner" before it was over. That was some BM by Seed, shaking his fists in the while he a-moved but he deserved it. Congratulations Incredible Miracle, and such an amazing job by Team Liquid!

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?

WCS definitely has two bo3s for the LB player

It was obvious once Taeja died IM would win lol. Taeja is the only good player on the team tbh ...


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

Frankly in PvP he isn't a very good player. Seed outplayed him pretty harshly in that game. Don't get me wrong, there are quite a few players he could definitly beat, but he isn't that great at PvP (and he hasn't been in great form in general lately).

I guess Taeja regrets letting that game slip through his fingers very badly right now.

As a sidenote, did Hero pick that map? And if so, why did he pick a blink map if he wanted to go for a robo build?

Liquid needs to run their own team tournament...

They can make custom rules where you can just use the same player over and over if you want. Then the rest of the team doesn't have to pretend to be part of the team.
