Round Robin till someone wins 2 games.
I love this format. Probably some of the most exciting SC2 games for me.

Agreed, the fact that we can even bring up something that could affect the integrity of the game is not good at all.
The fact that you have any doubt about the integrity of the professional players is not good at all.
If Bomber could just one time keep up this level of play all the way to a championship I could have all my favorite players never win another game and I'd still be happy.

I think Innovation threw the games or at least didnt take them very seriously -> SPL atm is more important
yeah go make excuses...yes innovation is probably a better player than bomber overall but in TvT bomber is kind of the best there is atm.
we just guessing here. But having SPL on your shoulder is a fact and it definetly played its role

Saying his focus is on SPL is not a excuse at all.
The match doesn't mean any more to Bomber than it does to Innovation. So your point is just very stupid.

Doubtful considering at some point he should have to play a non-terran.

Oh, I think the game will be played fairly, but even if we accept that it will be, Fantasy doesn't have the same motivation to prepare as heavily for the match because he's out.
Anyway, I'm waiting for First and Rain to pummel Hyvva later. :D

Wait so the theory is that Rain will throw his games to give Fantasy a better run? cause it's the three way if Rain wins correct?
Sounds silly to me eitherway. Best protoss in the world is going to make a run at it no matter what.
edit: Oh. Hmn I would still put money on Rain to win a PvT most of the time.
