It is not analagous to goals scored/conceded in football. At all. This stuff comes up all the time in these threads and people do not understand. Number of maps won does not matter whatsoever. 5/4 is clearly worse than 4/3. This is not really arguable. | ||

I'd love to hear it. Because you handled the other players in the group better. A 2-0 can be close, but most of the time, it is more onesided than even. I guess. | ||

In soccer it's normally goal difference and when that's the same it's the amount of goals scored that counts. Just seems natural. But recently in soccer tourneys they started to also let the H2H count over the amount of goals scored... | ||

Hence why they moved onto the next tiebreaker method, head to head. | ||

Oh fuck, I bet you would be arguing this if a foreigner dropped out? Seriously the only reason for this argument is because of KR fanboys who can't accept that their guy lost fair and square. | ||

I understand they used H2H. But even if they didn't: 5/4 is worse than 4/3 as it is a worse % win ratio. It is equal in map score, +1, but not equal in % win ratio. This is a legitimate differential in this scenario. Number of maps won is not. | ||

Why someone with, let's say, 4 wins and 0 losses should be behind someone with 5 wins and 4 losses? This is probably the best example that makes it apparent why raw game wins shouldn't be used instead of differential. It creates perverse incentives. | ||
