Koreans themselves are nationalistic as f**k, I can't understand why westerners refuse to support their own guys. Because they aren't my guys? When I watch Hero vs Naniwa Hero is my guy, I don't care that Nani happened to be born somewhere else than in Korea. If Koreans have this mindset and we don't (which isn't true at all btw), it's actually a good thing for us. | ||

Polt gets (and deserves) the advantage no matter what. Yes, good point. | ||

IF either Polt or Hyun lose their semi finals match they are both instantly out, even though they havent dropped a single series yet ? Polt is up 2-0 on Naniwa. Its a Bo7. Naniwa has to win 4-1 to advance. Polt can go 2-3 and advance. If Sound wins, then Hyun and Sound have a Bo3. If Hyun wins, he goes to the final. If Sound wins, then the Bo3 they just played becomes a Bo7, with the winner of the Bo7 going to the final. If Hero wins, then it's a Bo7 with Hyun up 2-1. | ||

THIS!!! Finally someone gets it... Winners haven't LOST yet... and Naniwa has... How is fair for Polt if he loses 2-0 and be "out" of the finals... lol | ||

Group stages doesn't give you free wins in the playoffs if you happen to win a bit more This is a double elimination tournament and they have met already. Naniwa lost. Therefore Polt has the advantage from their first series. | ||
