Call me an idiot, but actually I'm really happy about this.
Getting a lot of builds exposed for a single event that is not going to pay you off unless in a 1/16 chance will lead to random games, I don't get why one should be surprised.
And mind, it's not a critique of IEM's decision - I'm just reasoning by a player's perspective.
Almost all of these players have WCS and other tournaments around, risking every of your strategies for a single shot is a suicide in most of the cases

I think Taeja has sore wrists too?
I thought he'd done this before cause he was sore/tired from no sleep from being sore.

PvP all the way, and mostly kespa Protoss with less hyper. feel sorry for the host and the audience.
Come on taeja, why can't you at least give some entertaining game.

You know, the fact that its winner takes all means this is the least depressed I've seen Hero be after a loss.

Go stardust. Crush this child.
He was not playing for 100k$. This is not the grand finals...

Might as well have just invited YoDa to defend his title even though we haven't seen him in months Did he go to Dagobah? yes. He went into self imposed exile after failing to qualify for WCS EU
Should sent Snute to see if he's fine

The last time I saw Taeja be this stupid was right after the ghost nerf.... two and a half years ago. I guess some people don't mature all too well.

Polt I need you to win the whole thing. i feel very very bad for the crowd, you could see sheer disappointment after the first game. Yup. This is ridiculous. I don't know what is going on with these progamers... they are so fucking emotional right now In a large part due to the prize distribution. Didn't even bother playing the qualifier
Yup, I agree, this is all due to the prize distribution.

really don't think people would be so mad about taeja if they weren't already hyped up over naniwa
they were very early ggs and a little ragey but honestly nothing to complain about IMO... he didn't say anything BM

Second time Taeja does that shit... wtf is going on? :-/

There's no more LR  I missed game 2, but game 1 was pretty back and forth. Taeja was struggling to harass. But very even taeja ahead on supply Taeja goes for a big drop, looses it all and his third. Supplies are even. Stardust isn't even attacking, taeja ggs. Game 2 on Habitatation Station. Taeja lifts off and takes the gold. Takes 2 gases and 2 raxes. Tries to hide 3 other raxes elsewhere on the map. Stardust scouts them all. Taeja ggs out. Not good for a series on the main stage, I think. It was a factory first that was found cancelled that, then about 2 mins later he found two barracks that had just started to be built. He's a bit ambitious to think that Stardust would just defeat him cause he scouted it. People do stuff up defense.
Ah, thanks. I missed the factory first. And yes, besides, Stardust hadn't expanded and had only 2 gates, I think.

that "slightly behind" is very arguable. Game one maybe, game 2 though? 4 rax, gold, teching to medivacs vs 1 base toss... not even mentioning the wg research

My contradicting thesis
- This doesn't make sense the players should be motivated for 100k. I don't agree with the format but I feel this should make players more motivated to advance not less
- Please don't do this shit with no proof
- Besides Naniwa how can you point to this as a reason for the games so far in any way.
