Machine is also the guy that went tit for tat against WhiteRa in a series of showmatches back in July or so, when WhiteRa was really more on the top of his game. I don't think it's fair to say he's just mediocre (even just as a top player) given that he won the first showmatch against WhiteRa 4-1. And sure, it's random seeds so it's inevitable he'll hit a teammate eventually; nobody is disagreeing with that.

But to draw the same thing randomly three times in a row is simply unlucky. That's the definition of bad luck... random things swinging against you rather than back and forth. I think Machine just gets nervous at LANs, and under performs. I'm hoping he can change that around this time, since I really think he's in the top 3 zergs in NA.

Team killing is not fun and the brackets should be setup to avoid it.

machine vs select.. seriously.. I think Z is over powred (and I am a Protoss player, search me up Virgozero) so this ain't some bias BS.

I mean did yuo see how easy it was for Machine to Win?
Scouts 1/1/1 banshee, okay, make a bunch of banelings, GG.

All this is because terran is unable to put on early pressure that can diminish the Zerg's opportunities.

Again all this is as far as I can see, I am not provoking QQing but simply analysis.

You should watch FoxeR vs FruitDealer. SeleCT was outplayed.

lol. Yeah, attacking when someone just invested in expanding, just started a bunker and has not his depot lifted to block while getting his units surrounded is definitely proving OPness.

It's just called a VERY good timing >_>;;

I am so happy for Machine now, it would have been tragic to see him early eliminated again.

Yes, let's give an unfair advantage to people who are on top teams in an individual tournament, that makes sense.

Is potentially facing a teammate in the third round of a tournament really that unlucky? There are like 7 EG players in this tourney, and a bunch of Liquid, Root, etc., when it is acceptable for two players on the same team to face each other? Ro8? Ro4? Finals?

If you care about the integrity of this or any other tournament than team affiliations should NEVER influence seeding. Invitational tourneys may be an exception. I am really surprised that so many people seem outraged about teammates facing each other.

Congrats to Machine however for doing so well to this point.

Remember that select has publicly announced that he didn't have any zerg practice partner leading up to DC just a few weeks ago and that zerg vs terran meta game is very highly developed (since there is no protoss representation in the gsl herp derp). Zergs have figured out how to pick apart terrans and I think a lot of terrans are still used to being ahead in the mid game because of pre 1.12 "abuse" and now that the play field is leveled, a lot of terrans are struggling to figure out how to deal with mid-late game zergs.

Too true its been happening a lot the only people members of team liquid have lost to are other team liquid members. But when 2/3s of the seeded players (made up statistic but its still A LOT) and about half the entire field are split between 3 or foir teams its gonna happen.

EG Machine FTW

I don't have a problem with the brackets not taking teams into account but I would like to see some Team tournaments.
