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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. TL teamkill, evergreen :-) | ||

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

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.

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. | ||
