Well, Velego and Zerghamdi did a great job advancig, it was not system fault but players. I am sure 90% people on TL wouldbt be close to take game away from Harstem and Uthermal and those guys did beat them. Somehw I fell like you are taking away all praise from them,

Zerghamdis win has nothing to do with the system at all, as he didn't lose to uThermal ealier and uThermal only defeated Borrex, who also lost to Zerghammdi. If the group would have had been played out in RR, the result would have been exactly the same, only with having a match of Starudst and Borrex in addition, so I don't blame anything happening there on the system.

Ofc. taking 2 maps of Harstem is a huge acccomplishment for Velego and I respect him for that, but I would just rather see the guy with 3 maps against the other advance than the guy with 2 maps (As their opponetns are not really comparable.)


I'm sorry but if Harstem lose 2 bo3's he doesen't deserve to advance in either case. Also, Velego has better overall score 4-3 to Harstem's 3-4. I agree it could be better for Harstem if system would be all to play vs all, but this system is used for years and I don't see someone is particulary harmed by it. I think you are more angry because you think GS3 would have more quality if Harstem advances but I don't think he deserves to spot more then Velego does. It could also be reverse, if Harstem lost first bo3 and won second one, they you wouldn't whine I suppose.

It's Xoronius. He always whines about this group format

Do you think it would be more fair if the group had a player comparable to HyuN's skill level instead (say Revival) and Velego had beaten him?

Difficult question. From a totally neutral perspective it changes nothing about the fairness, but I guess, the advancement would still have been more deseved, as it was under more comparable circumstances. I'd probably still be a bit bitter about it on the inside, but I definitly wouldn't have ranted about the system, as I did.

How happy are you with Destiny?

I'm sorry to not be informed, but what has Destiny to do with this? Is he using RR in his tourney?

I've had the EG logo for a very long time Years. It used to be SKT though, and I'm considering changing it back.

Regarding Terran, the only real upset so far was uThermal not advancing.

This has nothing to do with the players involved in it. I wrote just a few pages ago, that I am completely fine with Zerghamdi advancing, since his win would have been the same in RR. And yes, ofc. the system would be as bad, if Velegos and Harstems roles would be switched. The fact, that (as you say) the order of wins decides the advancemnt should be enough to disqualify it completely.

Anyway, I'm sorry for having lost my composure and derailing the LR, I think we should get to more productive topics again now.
