EPTAnd MC is awesome as always, feels no shame in one-basing Thorzain, he executed it well.
This group is unreal though, after the Ro8 curse where the former Ro8 players never get into the Ro8 of next season, both of them did now and broke the curse.

Thorzain's advantage from the first win came in getting to play through the winner's side rather than the losers. By the time they got to the final match, they were back on equal footing. | ||

Let's put it another way then: MC won 2 Bo3s, Thorzain only 1. Does it seem fair that Thorzain would advance over the guy who won more games in the group? | ||

You can qualify by beating the worst in the group (0-2) and not having to meet the best in the group (2-0) with a 2-3 score against the remaining player (1-1, 2-3 in games). Some people are OK with this, but I'm not. | ||

Oh no, I agree with you. I'm just saying some people whine about map score/route the player took. I think if you win 2 bo3's you advance fair and square. | ||

Thorzain didn't play the '0-2' guy, and MC didn't play the '2-0' guy (skill should be correlated to this IMO). Is it fair that the order matters? | ||

Not to mention, what Thorzain gets from winning the first match is staying in the winner's bracket, going to the winner's match, while MC falls to the loser's bracket. People always jump at the head to head thing, but ignore the overall Bo3 performance, as well as the winner/loser's bracket dynamic. But there are many facets to the group format, you can basically find a number of good and bad things. | ||

Oh, right. It's only ever a issue when someone's favorite player loses, though, which kind of invalidates the criticism TT | ||
