Happy for Rain though. Barring some miraculous upsets he has an easy time in that group. | ||

If you want it fair you should write some emails to GOM and ask for a big round robin group with all 16 players, if that's not going to happen there is little meaning to bitch about 2 players switching groups tbh. I think it adds a lot of excitement and even storyline (if they would use it) Silly to be upset about somethimg like this imo... Ok now prediction time: A: Innovation, Dark B: Life, TY C: Rogue, Solar D: Maru, herO | ||

Ok now prediction time: A: Innovation, Dark B: Life, TY C: Rogue, Solar D: Maru, herO If you really want to add a lot of excitement and storyline, why not make players have a knife fight to decide who picks first? There's a reason seeds exist. There's a reason INno, Maru, Rain and Life got asked to choose first and not Terminator, MMA, YoDa and MC. It's precisely to limit (not avoid, because you can't, but limit) bracket luck/groups of death. Here GOM gave INnoVation an opportunity to troll and lower the chances of two/three of his most direct rivals for the title to win. It's not silly. I mean creating excitement and hype and all is good. But not when it is done at the expense of fairness and equality. | ||

In general players picking the groups is "unfair". Why don't you criticize that? Sry, but i don't see why this is that big of a deal, you either practice for your group and advance, or you aren't good enough and fail. The only thing i would like to see changing is the gsl group system, that shit is unfair... | ||

In a round robin you can have crazy tie breakers (like in the current SSL), that shit is exciting.

The switch option is precisely that, a trollish way to fuck up others' chances to win (and since it was given only to the current Code S champion, it's a rich gets richer system as well). I mean i can understand where you are coming from, i just think players picking their groups and the group system in general is a way bigger deal. | ||

In GSL style you can have a bad first matchup, go into losers, win there vs a lesser player and in the deciding match you get your first opponent again. Now you lose vs the same person two times and are out. You are in fact highly dependant on the other people's results. In round robin you play vs every other opponent and have full controll | ||

Well yeah but players picking their groups and the group system is an long-established GOM tradition, thus it is less useful to complain about it than the switch option that is newly introduced. I mean if GOM had made its free Low quality bullshit since the beginning, few people would complain as well. | ||

But well, I think the RR vs GSL argument is an unending one. | ||
