The plural of nexus is not nexi. Stop it.

Nexus and Colossus, apparently the two hardest words to pluralize in the English language.

This isnt making sense. 5>4 and that's maps WON. Lucky should advance. "My Koreans should advance despite having equal map score and losing the head-to-head match, else its favoritism!" Seriously, I'm getting real tired of your shtick. No, Thorzain won less maps and shouldn't advance. H2H is only okay when there's nothing else differentiating the players. Since when do we only consider maps won and not maps lost? They both end up with +1 map wins, but please do explain why maps won is the only reasonable metric. 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. 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'll argue if the player that doesn't advance has been told that he advances and then gets shut down by a ruleset that is left to an admin's interpretation. | ||

I think the one that won the head to head should win regardless of map scores. So glad that thorzain was able to pull it off ![]() I think head to head would have meant Thorzain would be out of the group because of the 3-way tie. Obviously irrelevant, but I'm glad Thorzain made it thru. | ||

The reason goals scored is the next tie breaker after goal difference is simply to encourage attacking footballl. 4-3 is better than 1-0 to encourage exciting games. Do you see why this makes NO sense in SC2 as a comparison? | ||
