Now a 8 Marine push is going to punish NaNiwa horribly.

Polt wins one game since the Naniwa game, Naniwa wins THREE. Still he has to be 2-0 down. WTF SENSE DOES THIS MAKE MLG?


That's the loser bracket for you.

Head to head, polt is up a series.


Exactly. That's the whole point of the loser bracket. Previous meeting between these guys does not matter. Polt already got his reward, Naniwa got his punishment so to speak.

Seriously it should be 0-0, Polt is not entitled to an advantage he already got it. Ridiculous rule. I hate it. These two semi finals are so much less interesting.


What advantege? He was 2:0 and should be 0-0? Playing a couple of games less vs losers does not do the cut for me.


How does not being in the winners bracket, and therefor having to play significantly more games than the winner "not cut it"?


It just doesn't. The whole point of having a bracket is to see the better guy move forward. It should not be that easy to get back into winners.

There are two players in the bracket as a whole, Naniwa and Polt. If they met once - a bo3 would be a decider. Since they met twice a bo7 will be the decider.


So if JD had beaten Nani and Dear and gotten to Polt it would be okay for them to be in a bo3 but because Nani lost to Polt specifically its a problem?


Yes, it would be ok. JD has to win 2 out of first three games in order to avoid losing for a second time (hence double elimination).

If JD wins the first bo3 we make it a bo7 - a single, longer match to estabilish who is the better player. If Polt loses 4 games that is equal to losing 2 bo3s = he is out. Double elimination applies to both of them.

Warp-ins pretty good mechanic. 100 mineral building to frontload your entire production line... I do wonder what Blizzard were thinking when they came up with that.

Because it's not whirlwind/bel'shir/any of the other maps that's been played one thousand times, of course.

Trading them for probes? Probably not, but i meant before that. Defending, scouting (realizing that something was wrong), counter attacking.

Polt is on 2 bases much faster than Naniwa, so losing those rines for probes is worth it.

I don't think those marines were going to be able to escape time warp + 3 stalkers.
