Btw, this is not "real" Swiss Stage but "ESL Swiss" similar to the Regional and Gamers8 group stage. This is "A Swiss-like system that is used in many Esports in that exact way except AoE 2 and everyone knows how it works except that one dude who wants to be petty about it"-Swiss | ||

I read in liquipedia discord (cited explanation from ESL admin), that in each round the players with the same number of wins (eg. 8 players with 1-0 score) are not paired according to either their map score, or any explainable seeding order. They are paired using a ELO-like blackbox system, and the details are not publicly announced. I remember spending hours trying to predict ESL brackets, found it contradicts every pairing rule possible, and only to find out later that it's a blackbox after I dug through dozens of pages of chat records from liquipedia discord. So, no, everyone does NOT know how it works. And I really hope WTL does not copy ESL's implementation. | ||

But what Maru did in game 3 was surviving on Bunkers and Marines, and he has the edge when the Bio upgrades kick in and it went Maru way for the rest of the game. Yeah, this new cyclone meta in TvT is not pleasant to watch, and I'm sure that it's not that pleasant to play. It made the match up feel very volatile. | ||

It's less technical but that's just another way to play in the end. Nothing that really screams bad or ban-worthy. Really can't see why some are doing an awful fuss about. | ||

The Problem is that currently it Looks Like you either Play cyclones or start behind, it is Not healthy for one unit to supress other openers Like that imo. | ||
