If a tournament is gonna have a "pick'em" format it should reward you for winning a series since often if one person is considered the weakest they will get picked every single time, like Puck. There are many interesting ways they could have made the rules for this tournament and instead they went with arguably the dumbest format. | ||

And what a joke if the extra $100 mattered to them more, all of them (and yes that includes Major) have earned more than Puck ever will via tournament winnings or salaries from their teams, which again is why I'm really disappointed in Polt for making that decision at the end if and only if it came down to it being his and the 5 others decision you are a total conspiracy theorist. | ||

This is meant to be a Starcraft tournament, not a sociology experiment. EDIT: The more I think about the format of this tournament, the more stupid it actually becomes to me :S Actually the worst format I've ever seen. It's horrible. And I feel bad for puck. | ||

In the case of a six player group, maybe only allow one player to be challenged a maximum of three times per round. The group could be seeded such that the higher seeds get to play first, so that the lower seeds may not necessarily get a chance to challenge the player they want to play the most. maybe that or have people advance to another round depending on how many matches they've won compared to how many days they make it? | ||

 now think about all the anger of today and what is going to happen tonight given that players most likely know about the fuzz about Puck but also had time to come with their next strategy. Do we know if they talk outside of the tournament? Do we know what are the relationships between them? Maybe yesterday was a prank and then players shared their money of the tourney with Puck? This is so much fun! | ||
