I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the "unlucky" part of the situation. Machine and incontrol are both unlucky to have to face each other so early in the tournament because they are from the same team. This unlucky does not refer to OMG incontrol is so pro, poor machine is facing him so early. The OP of this thread is actually very misleading.
no way

Really unfortunate for both of these players. It's true that machine hasn't racked up any seeding points but it is still luck of the draw that he faces his teammate for the 3rd time in 3 mlg's. Hopefully whoever loses performs well in the lower bracket. go EG!!

I agree.

Nice how IdrA is a top american player but EG is medium. I think this proves how little you know about the scene in itself.

They are meeting in winners bracket round 4. That is pretty far into the tournament. I don't think thats unlucky just inevitable.

but but but they both had byes in the first round! :D

1st round in raleigh, 2nd round in DC, 3rd (or 4th) round in Dallas so I guess it's not craziest thing in the world but still noteworthy because of the first 2 events imo

edit: and also because of the banter on the state of the game podcasts!

lol?

Anyone who knows anything about the scene knows exactly what zerotol is talking about. If you think anyone other than IdrA on EG is a top player currently, you're pretty mistaken. They're all really good players, but their performance at MLG and other major events has been pretty mediocre. They even got all killed recently box AHHHBOXAH, who is also very good but not even close to HuK, Select, IdrA.

So clearly what needs to happen is machine needs to beat incontrol and then he will be unstoppable.

Or atleast guarenteed 1 round win sometime

If you think that everyone outside the top 6 players in NA is "mediocre" or worse, it's time to pull your head out of your ass. Machine might not be great, but he's still very good.

Is there really any reason that MLG should separate teammates? I mean, other than obvious and blatant favoritism? I mean, random's the luck of the draw, and since Machine isn't seeded, that means he's all the more likely to face his teammates. So, what's the problem?

I used to play Magic the Gathering, and in the first round of a 1k+ person tournament I matched up with my teammate (3 out of 1083 possible people). Shrug. Them's the breaks.

EG Machine finally gets a break and takes game 2 against his teammate EG iNcontroL. He wins the series 2-0 with huge ling pressure and advances as incontrol tells him "gg, please beat select") in chat.


lol @ iNcontroL. Hopefully Machine goes farther in the tournament.

I don't think people give him enough credit. I mean, he did beat Huk in a showmatch, so to me that says more about his skill than these unlucky draws.
On my way...

You try to hard. Everyone understood exactly what zerotol ment, but you pretend you didn't. Good job making yourself look like a fool.


It's still not exactly accurate. This MLG definitely has a lot higher caliber players than some of the others. DC had a pretty weak pool. It's cool to see Machine actually advancing to have a chance against other people
