STC had to kill the Overseer(s) before targeting the Mutas there, right?

With lings in time that would have been a lot more cost efficient.

TAEJA NEEDS TO WIN 4 GAMES

FIRST NEEDS TO WIN 2 GAMES

-its not a bo3 x 2-

-its an extended series-


No.

First can advance by either winning 2 of the first 3 games.

If Taeja wins 2 or 3 of the 3 games, First still has a shot in BO7, which starts with Taeja's lead.

Imagine it like this,

If Taeja wins the first Bo3 then he sends First down to the "loser's bracket". In this case the Loser's bracket is just him facing Taeja again.

So in other words because First played better and avoided the losers.bracket he only has an advantage if he.can win the first bo3 . If not Taeja gets the advantage because they'd both lost one series at that point. MLG is such a joke and its a shame because I really want to like it


MLG making things complicated


Perhaps, but that's how the rules of the Finals of MLG Championships worked (with varying series length) since Dallas 2011, only because lots of them were rematches, they started as extended series instead.

The popular alternative is 2x Bo3, where the WB player can go LLWLW and advance. This format still gives an advantage to the WB, but it's not as strong.

Only that MLG's 2x bo3 favors the LB player if he wins because he's then up 2-1 in a bo7 series instead of having a clean slate and restart with a bo3 decider :/


...which is entirely consistent with MLG's application of the extended series in other rounds, to make the total head-to-head score between the two players the deciding factor in an elimination round.

If every game in these formats was 50/50, the 2xBo3 format gives the WB player a 75% chance of winning, while MLG's format (in a non-rematch) lowers it to 62.5%.

The good thing about the championship bracket change is that there's no such advantage in the Final anymore.

what a brilliant tech switch
he switches muta into muta
he doesn't got much AA
he's got only 6 thors
he used to have 9

true according to the number of mutas, but funny to listen xD (was doing other stuff and that was fun to hear xD)

i love TB, my favorite caster of this weekend is RotterdaM for sure


not Rob Simpson?

I still can't figure out why TB fakes his accent. I couldn't tell it was faked and I've always wondered what he sounds like w/o the faked accent and why he fakes it :S

I think he mentioned that his actual dialect is pretty incomprehensible and not good for shoutcasting, so he changed it

ermm, huh? what?
for a non native english speaker, this makes no sense to me , I am sorry

TB is from Newcastle. If he spoke like he was from Newcastle no one would understand him. I think by this point the accent isn't forced.
