kind of weirded out about how i want to see alicia lose more than i want to see oz win, even though alicia could likely produce decent play in both pvp and pvt finals situations, and he seems like a cool enough guy anyway. i'm just kind of bitter how he managed to get far in yet another tournament despite being code C level when it comes to pvz >=(

He has weak pvz compared to his other matchups but pretty sure he still stomps 99.9% of the foreigners in pvz

ret vs alicia at NASL looked like both players were trying to lose as hard as they could. don't think i've ever seen supposedly high level tournament semifinals which looked as horrible.

(alicia vs stephano, too, but he was expected to lose that one anyway. just not _that_ horribly as he did, it was probably even worse than nestea vs inca)


Nothing could possibly be worse than Nestea vs Inca.


NASL finals was pretty brutal, Alicia got rolled over again and again and again....

Alicia put up a fight, Inca did the exact same all-in 4 games in a row that didnt work a single time nor come close to working

i wonder what he was thinking game 4 "well he had detection every other time but maybe this one time he didnt"

You just don't understand Inca's mind games, man.


I kinda miss the Inca rule.

Question, was alicia lifting oz's immortal at the start the biggest factor there ? I'm happy alicia won , I just want to know why what he did worked when it seemed like oz should have been in the better position.

NOT TRUE.

If he loses the first Bo3, he gets a second one. If he wins the first Bo3, he goes through.

It was the FFs imo, Oz couldn't blink forward so only half his army was attacking.

Isn't it a little unfair that if Taeja loses he's out, whereas it should be double elimination? Or is it if Taeja wins the Bo3 he moves on, if he loses the Bo3 it becomes a Bo7?

so what advantage does alicia have for being in winners bracket


Extended series advantage...


that has nothing to do with coming from the winners bracket.....


If he had not dropped a game to Oz earlier, he would have a 2-0 advantage, which means he only has to win 2 games across the entire series and his opponent has to win 4.

Compare to Taeja, who could lose the first series 2-1, and then has to win 2 games in the next Bo3 to advance, for 3 total.

Best advantage goes to person with extended series.

that has nothing to do with coming from the winners bracket.....


If you come from the winners bracket against someone who you haven't played against, you get a second Bo3 if you lose the first.

If you play against someone who you've already played against, you have to win 2 games in a Bo3. You don't get an additional advantage because that advantage is already better than just the winners bracket one.

So you just lose the winner bracket advantage?


No, you're not given one because you already have a BETTER advantage. Win 2 games at ANY time and you win. The winner bracket advantage may require you to win 3 games.

You still lose the winner bracket advantage.

Regardless of how this tournament ends, I feel like Axslav is the winner. I really learned a ton of him this weekend!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

No it's fair.

Everyone had an equal chance to randomly have a bracket which avoided Stephano, therefore its fair.

He wins his bracket final & then lose in the grand final, lose only one serie.

Nope. If he looses the first Bo3, he's behind in a Bo7. MLG's system.... -_-
