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


Again the same fallacy. The GSL format is a bracket. Mapscore does not matter. What matters is you win two series. It's entirely in your control. Yes you can argue that if you want to advance out of a round robin you shouldn't lose any maps, but your success or failure is to some degree determined by how well other people in the group do, it's outside of your control.

Brackets, especially double-elim are inherently about the fairest you can get and that's why the GSL group format is so widely used. There is no perfect format but to say we should just accept any format because none of them are 100% fair is a fallacy. This format sucks.

No, it does not.
If your performence comes down to the other players, you've lost at least 2 series. Well, if you can't win over 50% of your series, you wouldn't advance in either format.

This Round Robin lets your player play vs everybody. If it was GSL Bracket style, Impact had shit ZvZ and he played Snute, Lost, Polt, Won, Snute, would you complain that he got to play his worst matchup twice and didn't play his best matchup twice?


If this was GSL format Impact would already be through in first place after winning two matchs in a row.

Whatever. People in LR think they know best as usual. They'd feel differently if they just saw a stack of money go up in smoke over a stupid format.


The fact that you just lost a stack of money literally makes you less qualified to comment on the format, at least while you're upset. It's a conflict of interest.


"conflict of interest"

You do not know what this phrase means.

There's not a person in this thread more qualified to discuss format, unless a tournament organiser or progamer shows up suddenly.

But y'know if you wanna keep believing that Dreamhack are just misunderstood geniuses that have the format all figured out while every other SC2 tournament this year did not use it, feel free. I choose to believe there's a reason no other tournament uses this format and that's because it's terrible.

I'm sorry, but you ignore 10 reasonable comments in favor of nitpicking somebodies somewhat poor choice of words while you probably understand perfectly fine what he tries to say?

MMA is on 5 - 5
Jakji is on 6 -6

Wierd way to do the brackets tbh. I can understand they do the A2 vs B3 and A3 vs B2 logic, but atleast but these matches on the other side of the loosers bracket. This way we might see group rematches already in the next round of the loosers bracket

Yeah it'd be cool if it was a little more varied.

It's probably:

The fact that most sports don't ever use the GSL format shows just how terrible it is. It pretty much can't get any more unfair than that.
