Christ it's like 2010 all over again. Beat the top 2 players and lose the group anyway? Seems legit. Using the format used in most major sports competition, how dare we? Map-score over H2H secures, that the players with the best skillset advance, not the ones, beating others in H2H, if their style counters the others. A 5x 2-2-situation is alwys frustrating for someone, but don't blame it on the format. | ||

I don't necessarily share the same anger at the format but I very much understand TB's anger. Its really sad for Impact, he is a cool guy and i would have liked to see him advance. But to be honest, i favour map score over head-to-head. Might be because i am a huge football fan though.. | ||

Definitely tiebreakers are probs the fairest way. | ||

Next time I'll just withdraw $1,300 from the bank and set it on fire. It'll have the same outcome. | ||
