You know, TB, bottom line is that Impact just didn't cut it. I don't know whether it was a lack of preparation, or a lack of skill, but the simple fact is that he wasn't good enough to get out of the group. You can blame the format, the tournament, the weather, whatever you want, but that doesn't change that simple fact. I understand that you're angry and emotional about this, having invested money and received nothing for it, but you're not stupid, and you knew the risks beforehand. You knew what the format would be, as this isn't the first time it was used. You knew the kind of players that Impact would be going up against. At least, I assume you knew all that, since it was all common knowledge. You took the risk because you thought that Impact would be good enough to get through, despite the opposition and the format. If you really had thought that the format would make it impossible or highly unlikely for Impact to get through, I bet you wouldn't have put your money behind him, as like I said, I don't think you're stupid. The way you feel about this whole thing now is understandable, but you don't have to be an asshole about it and tell people to fuck off because you don't agree with them. That just makes you seem like a complete jackass.

While I do not think the current solution is bad I just wish that they would have done a Bo1 tiebreaker round for a situation like this. Less salt and more entertainment, everybody wins

This is probably the ideal scenario, but i guess they dont want to or cant invest the extra time. Plus the players gotta play tomorrow aswell and need some sleep

After seeing all these posts from Totalbiscuit, I am starting to wonder about his professionalism.
There are different Tournament systems for different things. The question is what Probability do you want to have that the best Player wins 1st place? What Probability do you want to have that the 2nd best Player wins 2nd Place? What Probability do you want to have that the 2nd best Player wins 1st Place? All these questions need to be answered before deciding on a Tournament Format.

I am not sure what Dreamhack's goals are with the Tournament, but they can use whatever system they like and you agreed to that by paying for Impact's flight. There is no need to whine now when it didn't go as planned.

The problem is, that that isn't fair either. Giving someone, who went 6-4 and someone, who went 5-6 the same conditions to advance is unfair for the 6-4-guy. In each format there will be someone salty at the end, one can't please everyone.

A round robin of best of 15s theoretically has a lower chance of tieing :-)?

Hmm, I'm not sure, if that is an ideal solution, but in the end of the day that means more Round Robin, so count me in.

We shouldn't completely silence important figures of the community, just because of sponsors looking at them. TB has every right to complain (although he is wrong here), just as every other TL user has. At the end of the day, a forum is there to have a discussion as well.

A problem with this is that one of them has played fewer games then the other though. If you are gonna decide this by map score then having some players play fewer maps then the others just because the maps they won came in succsesion makes no sense

EDIT: Also yes, I happen to be salty as the sea because Snute was eliminated

They should just play all 3 games no matter the score, so we have rather easy comparable map scores at the end of a group stage

It reminds me my cousin who whenever he lost started to change the rules of the game. In the end we played the game, which could be called "I win"(I = the cousin). He was 5 years old back then, I had a vacation, for the sakes of my nerves I left it be.

You just discredited your argument by saying something like that so hard.

I don't see the problem here to be honest. You can just view the series as +2/+1 instead of 2:0/2:1 and you have a clear view at who performed better. Your point would come in if the players would play a lot more maps, so that a +2-mapscore could mean a lower winrate than a +3 for example, but I don't think, that that comes into play here.

Add an IMHO, if you like it better in that case. I wanted to make sure, that this post can't be misinterpreted as me switching sides. That being said, I think, that wrong opinions have a right to be stated, since something positive might come out of the dialogue provoked by them.

if you're that concerned about the order of map wins, maybe you should look at the win % instead, Snute and Impact were the only sub-50% map win players in the group, and they were the only 2 to be eliminated, makes sense to me
