the round of two isn't played as both teams qualify so no issue there. besides fxo isn't going to make it to the round of four ROOT will see to that.

He said it's an issue that they face *before* the round of 2 - so they can't both qualify.

Anyone know what maps these games were played on? I'm going to try and fill out the LP match summary. Also, the stream(s) that you can see matches would be helpful to fill out the VODs section of each summary.

This part confused the heck out of me too. I talked to the Quantic manager and he told me that the admin for these two teams said that they couldn't use an ace player cause the score had to be 4-4.

Which makes absolutely no sense since every other team re-used their ace players when it WASN'T 4-4.

It's called ace match. It happens in every team league. They used the "revived" because Jim was playing against Revival.

It's actually normally only used in proleague format (aka when it's not all kill format, 4 1v1's then if it ties ace).

When it's used in an AK format that's kinda silly imo.

what happened with yugioh and sage?

ROOTCatZ 21 points 2 hours ago

I am not saying that everyone who played is a better player than sC, but everyone that played can beat him. it was a really shitty day / clanwar for us, probably the worst we've ever had, last time we played FXO we beat them, with Minigun and LeiYa beating FXO Korean players as well. This time around, to be completely honest, 3/5 games could've gone our way, but we made a lot of mistakes that aren't characteristic.

Truth is we were expecting a lineup of players and 3/4 players weren't able to play. Sage overslept, he apologized and let us know how he went to bed early and normally sleeps 7-8 hours but this time he slept 12-13, it happens. YugiOh we still haven't heard of but he knew of the clanwar and we're a bit dissapointed, but this is the first time he's done this, so we're waiting to hear what happened. Minigun was playing bad earlier and asked if eh could sit this one out, I told him he could, so during the clanwar he was just shitting around instead, but that was my mistake. (I thought we'd have plenty of players available, but it turned out not to be the case at all). LeiYa was late as well. I made a mistake to announce what lineup we wanted prior to the clanwar in the ROOT chat, it made it so people weren't expecting to play, weren't warmed up or tired and ended up not performing to the best of their ability. I was relying on everyone being available and showing up to a clanwar we were anticipating and I didn't have a backup plan, as a result, we had the worst clanwar we've ever played. But I know my players, I know what they are capable of and I watched every game and cringed at game changing mistakes that I KNOW they don't normally do. Unfortunate chain of events, I'll take the blame.

To our fans, Sorry for a shitty performance, you expect better of us and we do too. We are working very hard to be competitive in HotS despite the odds being stacked against foreigners and haven't given up hope quite yet, we have a very deep lineup and we'll soon be implementing an In-house Ranking system much like Korean teams have to push ourselves a bit more. Tomorrow and on days to come, we'll try to learn from our mistakes and perform to the best of our abilities, that is not to say that we won't ever get 5-0'd again, it happens to everyone, this was our first time, feels like shit, but next time we lose badly, we'll hopefully at least be able to bring our best game out.

I love you AleroR and thanks for wearing the ROOT flair, but don't tell me what my players are or aren't capable of. Won't even comment on the 'legit 12 hours a day' cause its honestly offensive, if you want to know my position on why Koreans are better on average than forgeiners, i've said plenty on StoG and I made a couple reddit posts that you should read through my profile, only last night.

One last time, sorry to everyone, we'll do better next time.

Catz, I love you, but this just isn't true. sC is far better than anyone on your team. If your foreign teammates practiced as hard as he did legit like 12 hours a day, there could have been some good games. Should have sent out Sage or Yugioh.
