So looking at the bracket. If Leenock and First loses next match, do they play 3rd / 4th place match? Or do they get into a loser bracket still having a chance for the final? Would be stupid if they don't get a chance for the final.. Just because they lose very late into the tournament they don't get the second chance.


I did also wonder this, usually in other tournaments with similar double elim formats, every player gets a second chance up until the finals...

Both Leenock as well as First have both lost a series each. Would be worse for HerO or viOLet who would be out on their first loss had they won against their opponents.

Ok, but imagine Hero or violet won their match and then lost in the semis. Would be 1 loss and then out. I want to know how the format works.. If the people who lose in the semis is out or if they have a second chance for the final

Looking at the bracket, it doesn't seem that way. You 100% sure about this?

All the racist retards crying over Stephano getting knocked out. YOUR TEARS ARE DELICIOUS. OM NOM NOM!!!!!!


Racist, right..


So what would you call people closing stream just because the last non Korean getting knocked out? Oh wait IDC what nonsense you come up with, too busy eating the tears!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!! :D :D :D


...oookay.

Well anyway I don't actually care that there are no foreigners left. But I can see why people do; it's just a fact that Koreans are often less interesting outside of gameplay. In terms of storyline it's better for a lot of people to have at least one 'foreigner hope'. Tournaments are about storylines for a lot of viewers, and if the underdog Korean-titan killing foreigner story that interests them most then who are you to call people 'racists'.

*ahem*

LOLOLOL TROLOLOLOL XDXDXDXD


They want a story? How about this.
Crank gets injury and has to leave slayers. He interacts with fans and tries hard to learn English for them. His call is heard and is personally sponsored by Total Bisuit to come to mlg. He fights his way from the bottom of the open bracket and takes down many high tier players. He makes it all the way to the final loser bracket in day2 gaining many fans who probably haven't even heard of him before. Now that he just got knocked out, I could maybe understand people closing the stream because his story has come to an end. But wait, he is Korean so nvm.


"Koreans are often less interesting"
"if the underdog Korean-titan killing foreigner story [is the one] that interests them most"

Reading comprehension is a good skill toi have. If I wanted to say "Koreans are boring and nothing they do is interesting" then I wouldn't have taken a paragraph to say it.


Its not an issue with reading comprehension on his part and here's why. His statement is aimed at the people saying that they are closing the stream because stephano (the last foreigner left) has lost. These are the same people that are justifying their actions by saying that Koreans are "boring" and "story-less"

Now your comment is saying that you understand their feelings, because they are closing the stream because GENRALLY koreans are "boring" and "story-less". Here's the problem though: you state that they do not view ALL Koreans as "boring" and "story-less" with your emphasis of "if" and "often" in your rebuttal, however if that was the case, the complainers wouldn't have closed the stream RIGHT AFTER Stephano lost, because Crank was still playing at the time. The dude's point was that Crank HAS a story, and if people truly felt the way you stated they did, then they would've continued watching until at least he had lost.


I'm sure people are aware that there are other storylines but they don't have to be invested in them. The Korean vs Foreigner rivalry is a thing and has been for years, some people are invested in it more than others. More than that, the Korean scene is really a thing of itself and some people don't watch it and prefer to watch the big LANs, and when a bunch of players that they have no connection to, who to them are shy on stage and most of the time give pretty nondescript interviews, maybe it's frustrating to them.
I seriously doubt anyone is turning off the stream because they're like 'man fuck asian dudes'.


Except these are the people who say "I'm leaving there are only Koreans left", not "my favourite player just got knocked out". There is a big difference, with the former being racist.
