And that's the end of the group, everyone with 2-2 series score. Headsmashingly stupid format, look at those results. Well, yeah, the other Dreamhack Tournaments are pretty fucked up. Mainly because it's Bo3 all the way, which is just... stupid, imo And it's really unfortunate for Impact... Hoped for at least one of those 2 Zerg to advance.

I don't necessarily share the same anger at the format but I very much understand TB's anger. So it's not DreamHack pays players' flights and hotels? Oh…I thought they do it as IEM does, since all these players are invited. | ||

You can't possibly claim that it is wholly fair for the player with more maps won to go out just because they happened to lose the second series instead of the first series. The two players are literally tied in series won vs. each other. If you can't see that the GSL format also has flaws then whatever. I just take it for what it is: Ultimately if you win all your games then you won't have anything to be salty about and that's what all competitive people should be striving to do instead of bitching about the fucking format. In GSL format you can go out with a far superior score compared to your opponent. You can lose 3-2 0_0?! You can go 4 wins and lose against a player with 2 total wins!? That's odd too bro | ||

Frankly I don't give a shit about what your opinion is on the format. You're not paying for the damn flights, your emotional and financial investment in the formats is zero. | ||

Dreamhack never pays for any flights and hotels. For players outside of Europe Dreamhack is a gigantic risk. The prizepool for main events outside of the finals is low, the format is massively prone to bracket-screwing, the flight cost is high. If flights were compensated it'd be a different matter entirely, but they're not. | ||

Different people will prefer different formats. I for one find it nice and refreshing to not have the same format at every tournament. | ||
