lold so hard. I'd fear someone BK 2-0'd too.


I lol'd too. I heard PvP is a very solid and well rounded matchup, and I also heard Idra's ZvP is amazing. He'll beat Rain no worries, he actually let DRG take games off of him ha ha ha

Your argument makes no sense, that would be very obvious and fuel the paranoias of conspiracy theorists.


Yeah, and it would lead to him potentially getting caught if he made it obvious. It's not difficult to simply play worse later in the game...

DISCLAIMER: I am once again not saying that I think Stephano threw it, but people are using such flawed logic to make it seem like it somehow isn't a possibility.


I think there's a possibility that you're retarded. I'm not saying you are, but it's still possible.


What a needless personal attack. I'm just being sensible and logical. I'm sorry if it is crushing your dream world where everyone plays for honor and not for money.

I'm not saying IdrA played bad, no way. He played really well, but I'm saying that Stephano played this not that good as he usually does, guess I'm not the only one who think so.

This is accurate.

qft. Anyone saying that a player witch chance to place high has thrown the game away on purpose doesn't know the players and obviously has never competed himself.

Ugh... this is just frustrating. I am not saying Stephano threw the games, but it frustrates me to see people who say that they KNOW he did, and also people acting like it isn't a possibility whatsoever.

Stephano HAS TRIED TO THROW GAMES IN THE PAST!!! Why can't everyone just accept the fact that he may have, and also accept the fact that they don't know if he actually did it. It would be so much more sensible..........


Actually, the sensible thing to do is to assume both players played their best.



Well, that's what I am assuming... but I am also being reasonable by acknowledging the fact that it is a possibility that they did not in the interests of winning $100k. That's all. It just bothers me that everyone seems so ignorant of that being a very real possibility.


Uhh, that's not being reasonable at all.

I don't think Stephano throws those games, they were pretty close, but I'm surprised how a lot of people thinks it's not even possible. I mean this kind of move between teammates happens a lot in those tournaments, there is nothing new. Most tournaments (in round robin format) even play team kill first to prevent this. And given the fact there now will probably both Stephano and Idra in R016, with a more comfortable bracket for Stephano, it's normal there are some suspicions.

Nice graft by Stephano by letting IdrA win. What a fail from Blizzard... it was obv that Stephano would let IdrA win to have 2 EG players in the Ro16.

imbecile

Yep calling IdrA one of the best Foreigners is really imbecile.


You know, I don't even like IdrA either, that doesn't make me blind sighted though.
He played very well today.


It isnt about IdrA being a bad player.
But every time he makes it out of groupes everybody starts screaming that he is one of the best foreigners.
Yet, doesnt have the consistency that players like Naniwa and Stephano have.
Always look on the bright side of life

Nerchio vs MoonGlade

Game 1 - Daybreak

Moonglade and Nerchio both started out with quick hatches, but also both with a relatively quick speed. Nerchio quickly teched to lair and into mutas, while MG prioritized upgrades for zerglings. With zergslings, MG cancelled and killed Nerchios third. MG came in for a big ling-attack while the mutas of nerchio was killing off the third of MG, but it was held without much damage. MGs upgraded lings kept being active and aggressive and managed queen and drone kills in Nerchios natural. MG, though down 30 supply, managed to take down Nerchios third once again and as a result, Nerchio went on the offensive and a base-race was the result. Things stabilized with both players still on two bases, but with much degraded economies and tech. In the end, Nerchios larger army won out as the units of MG on the map were cleaned up and a frontal assault took down the remaining forces of MG.

Nerchio takes a frantic, messy game 1, 1:0

It's not reasonable to acknowledge that a player may lose a game in the interests of having an easier path to the finals (when they can look ahead in the bracket)? Please explain why.

I heard that people have 65%+ win rates in PvP and that the better player wins on that given day. It is not coin flip.
