I don't understand why Naniwa felt he had to attack there after losing the 2 colossus

Probably because his 7gate all-in was scouted and he was too narrow-minded to try to expand behind fake aggression.

They have to be on DND or else they are given a warning/DQ'd.


DND doesn't prevent you from opening the chat, reading the info and closing the chat window again.

Hyun vs Polt will probably be the most interesting finals match up.

Extended series is pretty stupid, but this is a case of where it isn't *quite so* stupid. I mean it's stupid when both are in lower bracket and have already lost a series.
There is really no reason to punish player #1 because he lost against player #2, since player #2 had has lost a series too to player #3.
Here player #1 lost to player #2, but player #2 hasn't lost to anyone

No way nani makes this now


Yeah this is sort of a buzzkill, having 2 bo3s would be better overall me thinks.

Extended series at it's current format isn't the best option.

But no rewarding the Upper bracket players seems stupid...Say Polt has been undefeated so far and Nani, who has already lost a bo3, wins only one bo3 versus him and he goes through? So Nani had second chance and Polt does not get one? Both extremes are pretty fucked up, should find something in the golden middle.


The whole format is a mess.

Naniwa vs. Polt?! For some reason, I feel like Polt is the Koren version of Nani, lol. Both are like the guy that everyone hates but still hast to respect for their skills, and they have a propensity to act all nonchalant like, "F--- you all, I'm just gonna win." X-D Should be a good match.

Polt has to play less matches and had a nice break. Isn' that reward enough?

Trying to build a third without any Forge wouldn't have led him anywhere.

Because it's being monitored...?


No they are not, unless you are seeing invisible people inside the booths.

They're not being monitored 24/7 but it wouldn't be hard to get caught and it's a really dumb risk considering you'd be instantly DQ'd if caught.


And if you got caught you would be done with sc2. I don't think tournaments would let you play and you would be so hated lol.

The pitchfork-mastery of the community cannot be overestimated.


Well tbh that person would deserve it. To try and cheat at a LAN in a big tournament? I would have no pity and would think that person deserved it imo.
When I think of something else, something will go here

no, he's dead if he expands behind it, losing the 2 colossus is absolutely fatal lol

The only difference is with 2 BO3 then Naniwa could win by going 2-1 2-1. But with extended series this can't happen because after Polt gets the 2nd win it is over

Lol I just imagined if the football (soccer) world cup had extended series rule ^^ Like if one country beats 3-0 another in the group play, the finals would start at that score , that is really a stupid rule


It's kinda dumb in general I find.


The funniest thing is they changed back to it after deciding to remove it for a while...

I assume MLG implemented extended series to last the tournament out a little longer. If extended series wasn't in place, we would have the finals being played about a hour ago.


In that case they could just add bo5 for semifinals and perhaps bo7 for finals?
