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. what if it was bo9 and TY 5-0ed showtime, would he still not deserve 1st place because of map total even though he clearly owns the other? Doesn't make sense... Makes sense to me if TY performed that much worse vs the other players in the group. This is round robin and not Showtime vs TY (which it should only come down to at the same map score and if Showtime managed to get a better map score despite going 0-5 he deserves first).
You're just assuming that if they did it that way the results would have been the same though. Because after TY 2-0'd PsiArc he knew he had first place secured, there's a chance he was half-assing it in his last match against Kelazhur (keep in mind Digmouse said he had a cold so he's probably just happy when it's over), not scouting properly, cheesing himself or doing TaeJa GGs.
So uh... which 1st place plays against which Ro12 winner?

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 group 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. We are talking about round robin and not GSL group format, you can't use GSL as an example. 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 don't get your football example, since there a win is worth 3 points and they have ties worth 1 point, it's again completely different and can't be compared to this round robin format.
I agree that the best player should advance, but if two players have the same match score I think the player with the better map score is the player that performed better. The whole arguement is basically that I think 2:0 is worth more than 2:1 and in a round robin format head to head should come after the overall score. It's just opinion based, but that's how they usually do it in sc2 tournaments that use round robin.
|
I think it's hard to gauge which system is better.
All in all, the system needs to be transparent and players must know what they need to do in order to advance before the tournament even starts. If that's the case, then everyone should be happy.

I'm not assuming that. I just say that the format should be that way, then maybe TY would've tried harder and won 5-0. Anyway it woulld still be better that way even if the result does not change, at least it makes sure every player tries on every map until the end.
If TY indeed did no try his hardest in the last match, it already proves that their ruleset is inferior imo.

That's purely situational. And usually H2H is more likely for players to try their best until the very end than Mapscore. Map Score can be decided way earlier than H2H depending on the draw.

Showtime vs TY in the finals, hopefully.

in a RTS game, not every map is the same. You can lose the first map then adjust your play and win the next two maps. TY might lost 1 game to some players but he turned it back and won 2-1 -> he is better than those players. And TY won 2-0 against Showtime -> he is better than Showtime.
That's it, only "better", not how much better, therefore 2-0 and 2-1 are all the same.

Eh bracket matches are what I expected. Nerchio vs TY and Scarlett vs Maru Ro8s are gonna hurt. So I guess go Jim and Namshar

That's what it comes down to (btw TY "only" won 2-1 vs Showtime).
But if you think 2:0 and 2-1 are the same we can agree to disagree.
Again it is subjective, but it used to work differently in sc2, like http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/DreamHack_ROCCAT_LotV_Championship.
I'm now done with this topic, nobody is wrong or right, I just don't like the ruleset, but of course they still have to stick to it!

lol Nerchio vs TY could only be better if that was Nerchio vs Maru. Perfect
Scarlett vs Maru is fun too.
EDIT: considering Nerchio and Scarlett pass RO12 ofc, sorry for that 
Great bracket!

Maybe he cheesed TY. Maybe TY cheesed him. Maybe TY did TaeJa GGs and left when he didn't have to. The match was definitely over quick enough for one of those to be true.
|
All-Korean grand finals still possible, but with how TY played today he probably loses to Nerchio or Neeb. Actually I guess if he can beat Showtime he can beat Neeb but it'd be close.
|
Glorious round robin tie discussions <3
Looks like a Neeb vs Maru finals to me
|
Imo map score and head to head are both bad ways to do this. Let them play extra games to decide the outcome.
If that isn't possible throw a coin
