Very cool to see Snute beating 2 Koreans. But not advancing sucks pretty hard...

Hopefully this junk format is never used again.

Mapscore rather than head to head, 5 man round-robin groups with tie-breakers. 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.


The format is terrible and there's a reason only Dreamhack, the tournament with the worst formats uses it.

The format is of exactly the same style of every major Football competition, just with a different amout of players.

What surprises me is, that TB, being British, did not notice. Rage can blind a man

Both this format and the GSL format have flaws. Neither of them is perfect, yet they're both perfectly valid even though they're both capable of throwing up unfair situations fairly frequently. For example, how many times have we seen someone go out of a GSL-style group with a "winning" map-score vs. the person they lose to in the deciding match..?

+ Show Spoiler [By which I mean...] +
Player A 2-0 Player B <- First Match
Player A Loses Winner's Match
Player B Wins Loser's Match
Player A 1-2 Player B <- Deciding Match

3-2 to Player A in total, but Player B goes through!


If in football a round-robin format that uses goal-difference (equivalent to map-score) and goals scored (equivalent to maps won) before looking at games between the tied teams is good enough for the World Cup, then it's good enough for DreamHack.

Honestly, this is what I hate the most. The 2:1(2:0) win into 1:2 3rd place and not advancing.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I was trying to find some pictures from after 2012 but no luck. Maybe now that he's on a proper team that can foster his talent and give him exposure

There was no losers finals, Dreamhack does RO16 onwards single elim bo3 with bo5 finals. It's absolutely terrible. It's probably why Dreamhack has such weird finalists, it's down to a lot of bracket luck most of the time.

Feel like he switched from practicing a ton of TvT to TvZ... always seems like he's great at 2 match-ups at a time.

Jjajki doesnt even bother with micro since he knows he advances anyway


Pft it's a pretty big deal to advance first place, I bet he's trying hard.


I know, i was joking haha
It was just the fact that he had 2 or 3 really big blunders where he lost everything to a couple of banes


Sorry I'm not good with irony over internet :D

Yeah jjakji is weak vs this style. Still impressed seeing as imo he was a bit behind after the early game.


Ye, i was wondering why the game looked so even for a moment after that horrible start. But that changed quickly, you could see Jjajki didnt really feel comfortable playing vs Snutehosts
