He said after BlizzCon that he'd mapped out 3rax reaper so much that he wouldn't die to any follow up counter / all in
e.g. the time he delayed Dark's ravager rush with constant grenades

I thought SH vs Mech is the standard right now.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That still doesn't explain why you wouldn't do it every game.
I guess it's kinda shitty vs 17pool/hatch/gas/RW?

I think they're still a personalised choice right now, definitely not 2014 kind of standard. Anyway, I meant more that I've actually missed intelligent SH play

Some people enjoy losing by throwing roach/hydra at the problem hoping it will go away eventually.

btw:

Series wins among tied players;

Coin flip

God I want a coin flip

Source for this?

IEM Season 9 rule book, which is linked from the tournament page, says:

1. Overall map difference
2. Overall number of map wins
3. Points amassed between the tied participants ('Mini-League')
4. Map difference between the tied participants ('Mini-League')
5. Number of map wins between the tied participants ('Mini-League')
6. Decider match
7. Coin toss

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_XI_-_World_Championship

Alright, I'll trust the rules on play.eslgaming.com before Liquipedia on this. Hopefuly someone can clarify.

Seems like the person who wrote the Liquipedia entry for the tournament misunderstood Carmac's explanation about the tie-breaker tules:
Tiebreakers
Use “total bo3-wins” -> “map score (6 : 3 > 6 : 4 > 5 : 3 etc)” -> “direct bo3-wins among tied” -> “direct map score among tied” -> “one round of decider matches bo1 or 3” -> “coin toss”

It seems it is after all:
1. Overall matches won
2. Overall map score
3. Matches won among tied players
4. Map score among tied players
5. Decider match
6. Coin toss

I'll update this to Liquipedia for clarity.
