Machine had 0 points and was unseeded.
I posted this in the other thread, but the reason iNcontroL has defeated machine both other MLG's is because geoff is willing to use the strategy that is less practiced but wins. He doesn't cannon rush or cnanon in machine during CG's, but machine wants to play the macro game, so he just 14 pooled 16 hatched every game and geoff took advantage of that.
Flash cheeses when he needs to cheese, doesn't matter the series, he knows he can win the macro game but he also knows how to win the game period. Machine needs to change something up to put incontrol off balance just like geoff did to machine at raleigh and DC.
Whether thats a 6 pool or wahtever, doesn't really matter, but something hast to change. Maybe machine can do that 9 pool 9 gas 9 roach warren build that geoff talked about, but machine can't play standard every time and expect geoff not to take advantage of that.

I'd just 6 pool in frustration.

Not only did Incontrol knock him out twice at previous MLGs, but another teammate (Lzgamer) denied him the money for 3rd place at EG Masters as well. =P

He should learn to lose earlier..........

Looking at the bracket his not realy unlocky this time so many strong players in next round.

Yeah,
No offense to Incontrol, but as silly as it seems Machine is lucky to get him instead of stronger players like Huk/qxc/Sen/Idra/Fenix.
|
It's just coincidence that he has to face him x amount of times.
Eventually he has to beat him in MLG if he wants to cash in.
|
Machine winning against Incontrol would be awesome, i think the guy could use a moral boots after the last 2 MLG's
+ incontrol shouldn't have that many problems in the Looser bracket
|
Machine if you can beat me drunk you can beat incontrol sober. Machine fighting!

This.
I hope Inc wins so we can watch him easily counter Select's predictable play....

I think Machine is scared of what iNcontrol could do to him back at the EG house if he knocked Geoff out.

Honestly I think Machine got a very good draw. I think he is in one of the easiest parts of the bracket for an unseeded player.
That said, it is pretty funny that he got to Incontrol so fast.

Yeah, like the game he did vs Nyoken at WCG USA.
|
Not that unlucky but more coincidental. Honestly if he can't beat incontrol 3rd round (which is far in a tournament with so many good players) then I don't understand why people think he deserves to place better.
|
i lol'd so hard when i opened the brackets and saw they were going to play again. hahahaha that sucks
|
It's unlucky for EG that they always seem to be eliminating eachother or kicking eachother to LB but getting Inc round 3 in WB is one of the easier draws tbh
|
Its part of competitive sport to ocasionally get some "heavyweight" contenders on your way on the early stages. Im sure machine is up to the challenge and he'll just deal with it, so not much relevance taken out of this subject imo.
|
Ok I can understand 2 times in a row, but 3 times? As conspiracy friendly I am, I actually feel like MLG is setting this up to have like a cool "story" through the tournies and to add some drama and attention to the early stages.
Its stupid regardless though, they should randomize the bracket not only seeds vs no seeds but different teams vs dif teams, so that teammates doesn't have to play eachother this early.
|
The problem lies in the fact that Machine as a top player is mediocre. If he isn't even good enough to beat Incontrol, who is mediocre too, he won't get anywhere.
This is not intended as a flame but just stating the facts derived from tournament results.
