Scarlett has best map score so out in second

that's what I think.. so why is Elazer in 3rd place in their tables?


I heard Rotti just mentioning looking at map scores just for the matches the 3 players involved played against each other, so probably that. Liquipedia is still agreeing with us though

According tp LP the Tie Breaker is as follow:
1. H2H
2. Map Score
3. Head to head results against other players in the group.

And if you take this order, Elazer was better than Major. In the Three-way H2H, Scarlett has the best Mapscore, followed by Elazer and Major.


Yeah, that's what Rotti mentioned.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Ty beat showtime so its completely fair.

I know that, but still don't think it's fair, since Showtime performed better overall and this format should show who does the best vs all the opponents in the group first, instead of how 2 players did vs each other. Head to head should only come into play when two players haver the same map score imo.

But this opinion is obviously subjective, so I can see your point of view.


Well overall they both went 4-1 in series. I think this kind of tie should be a tie broken by head to head first, then map score if necessary (in this format its not).

Plus both ty and showtime knew they had 1st/2nd in their groups. I doubt there performances on the last series will be amazing (normally players just troll or have fun when the score cant effect their place haha).

So if TY had gone 2-1 in all his wins and had a 8-6 map score vs the 9-2 from Showtime, you still think that TY deserves first?

Every map should count imo, 4-1 in matches is not equal 4-1 in matches, 2-0 is worth more than 2-1 and this also makes sure that every player gives his best even in the last series.

Head to head should come after map score, it's standard and worked this way in other round robin tournaments like DH Winter etc. too.


map point does not count, match point does. Example: GSL code S group C
Match 1: SOS 0 - 2 Billowy
Deciding match: SOS 2 - 1 Billowy
and then SOS advances to the next round while Billowy is eliminated.

So overall SOS 2 - 3 Billowy in terms of map, according to you, Billowy is better and should have advanced over SOS.
NO, it doesn't work that way.

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Me neither, overall map score first and in case of ties head to head.

Then if still tied you can look at map scores only involving tied players to have an extra buffer before having to do tie breakers.

Oh well..

If they break the 3-way-tie with mutual map scores first, that breaks out MajOr. Now we have a 2-way-tie between Elazer and Scarlett, which goes in favor of Elazer, so Elazer should be 2nd in the group.

I agree, but it's more important that they stick to the rules and hopefully they will count the overall map score first in the future.

No, I'm just saying, whether it's GSL format or round robin format. They always aim to pick the best players to advance, in a RTS game, one map win is not clearly a win overall, that's why we have bo3 and bo5 or even bo7. And as the result shown, TY 4-1, Showtime 4-1 and Showtime lost against TY, so TY is better and should get out as 1st place.

The same way with football, at the end of the tournament, if 2 clubs are equal in point, which club won head to head will become the champion.

I would argue in a tournament with such a huge skill gap, that's actually the best option, to be honest. If you break a tie solely by looking at the H2H, the results against the "Top players" (who might have secured his spot in the next round before the group stage ends and therefore their last games didn't matter anymore) and the "lowest players" (who might be eliminated before the group stage ends and therefore their last games didn't matter anymore) matter less than the games against each other. (which all have to fight until the very end)
