Why, I am asking why you don't stimulate the players to take one game off an opponent even when you're losing a series? No. Thats already stimulated, because players would have a worse map difference if they wouldnt take that game. Counting total map wins changes nothing there.
And what you are argueing about football is mostly because there exist draws and points. Pretty different. Winrate is more accurate and it is totally possible.

After watching Diestar's TvZ and comparing it to Lucifron's TvZ I can just see 2 different classes of player

Aww, such a shame that Moonglade didn't make it. Nowadays you see him so seldom in big tournaments that I would've liked to see him advance.

HE'S MOVING IN is kind of Khaldor's catchphrase, i think. AND THEY ARE BOTH DROPPING IN SUPPLY! Player X's supply is dropping, but so is player Y's! He has a few things he really likes to repeat in tense situations. I don't really mind though, feel he is a very good caster.
Not only does he have these catchprases, but he also likes to say something, and then repeat it with slightly more emphasis a second time.

And now for the practice Bonjwa.

I'm still waiting for the 2011 World Championship IEM 14 time three-way-tie rematch, but everytime it gets close i get denied in the end.

If we only count the games between them 3, both TLO and Grubby are 3-3 on maps and Moonglade is 2-3, he would be out too with this system, some tourney did this iirc. TLO isn't into the equation though since he has better mapscore than both of 'em
But TLO would be in it if it was head-to-head before overall mapscore. Whole point of that is to disregard other matches so his overall better mapscore wouldnt matter. moonglade would've been out with 2 of the most common ranking rules, there is no unfairness in this. (you can argue unfairness about which system should be used)

Winning in close series is better than losing in close series. Losing in close series is better than being owned. What doesn't make sence here to you?

The reasoning behind Grubby going through has been discussed many times before and makes no sense at all. Winning more maps is just completely irrelevant in this situation. Comparing it to football is useful only if we want to point out how nonsensical it really is. In football attacking play is rewarded with the tiebreaker of more goals. In SC2 winning more maps encourages what exactly?
If either head to head or win % are used as the next tiebreaker then Moonglade goes through. Number of wins is just an illogical, arbitrary way to decide it. Shame that a major tournament has to have such terrible rules. You might as well have Grubby going through because his APM was higher.
Grubby should be out under any reasonable tournament rules.

Yoda similar to Diestar? LOL! :D
