It's always nice to see a pro post in one of these threads, and the TL community trying to coach him (or just criticizing him, since that's what is *cool*)

I enjoy 3rd place matches, since they are high quality SC2 matches between the 3rd and 4th best players in the tournaments, that is enough for me. Also I don't speak for others by saying that "nobody enjoys them"....... we get more starcraft, but we still find a way to complain
My life for Aiur !

if you're going to play semantics, a semi-finalist is someone that makes it to the semi-finals of a tournament. in a single elimination, that makes the 3rd and 4th place finishers semi-finalists.

im not sure what your point is, but you're not making your case for not having a 3rd place match in a single-elimination tournament.

What does this even mean?


Shows you want to make an entertaining tournament, you aren't just in it for the money. Plus the fact taht you do it shows sportsmanship *coughs naniwa*


There is no sport where the players/teams like to play the 3rd place match. In the football world cup, they just let play their 2nd line or rotate as much as they can mid game. If they could choose, nobody would play a 3rd place match in professional sport.


They probably don't want to, but I can't see them turning it down when they can make a couple thousand dollar of it. Although using double elimination format is always better than dumb 3rd place match.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

it has nothing to do with single elimination, do you want a 5th place match too?

I'm not used to playing with liberators but I thought they were my only option, bio doesnt seem to trade well enough against adepts, think I played pretty well against Neeb, definitely played bad against showtime though
