Outside of it being matchfixing, its also why we play two games at once / other scores aren’t revealed. ByuN doesn’t know if Solar is playing to go 4-0 and win the group or if hes already out or what, so there is no reason not to play to win.


Okay that's a good system, if he doesn't know where Solar is in the group that makes sense.

The idea that it would be matchfixing is a bit silly though. You're trying to improve your chances in the tournament, which is a perfectly logical objective for you to have in a tournament.

Breaking your opponents thumbs would also improve your chances, but that doesn't mean it would be ethically sound to do so.

Yes. So don't break your opponents' thumbs.

I like how Wardi gets some guest commentators on as well.
Both Harstem and Lambo have been absolutly amazing.
And Demuslim is just the logical choice for today as well with all the Terrans today

Just give the award to Zest already lol

Everytime TY does some great damage to Zest, somehow Zest counters and does even more damage back

Zest looked pretty insane (in PvT especially) for the whole playoffs. It always felt like he had way more than any other Protoss would have at the same timing even on top of his giant bank. Any relatively even early game just leads to him being miles ahead 2 minutes later without any fights. Even the games that didn't start great for him he turned around convincingly.

TY looked strong throughout the tournament too though. Definitely 2 guys who can make it far at IEM.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

Great tournamet and congratz to Zest. Showed some wild play there!

i've been watching old matchfixing games recently, and CURE vs ZEST was looking like one of the most rigged games ever.

remember when he ditched his army and fled his medivacs?

when he just stood in colossus range 'fighting' 3x in 1 match?

he was doing so many terrible plays that even a tired or unfocused player wouldn't make....!!!!!
