On the other hand, I feel like we could really benefit from having Degree or Old Spice sponsor some events! They could have a little booth where they hand out mini sticks of deodorant to everyone - I've never been to a live SC2 event but I hear the collective stench of so many nerds can be pretty overwhelming! Regarding the event, the brackets look sick! I can't wait for the tournament. So sad I wasn't able to get off work to actually attend. | ||

Am I missing something here? By over the top what do you mean? It's only 3 games. The open bracket top finishers play the group players with the worst record. I'd be happy to discuss this further with you at your convenience. | ||

The final bracket is single elimination, so players will want to get the best possible seed (which should eliminate throwing games). Sounds fine to me. | ||

If the players don't believe they have enough to play for, they have very little incentive to try their absolute best in the group stages. It may be beneficial for them to hold back BOs/styles for later, more important matches. Not sure if it will actually play out this way, but I am interested to see what ends up happening. | ||

I assume you mean "seeding" as in MLG style, as in Bottom plays OB winner plays a 3rd plays a 2nd plays a 1st place finisher? I suppose it could be interpreted as a tennis type seeding system too though, which would mean it was a little arbitrary and could cause people to want to lose etc. bit confused on the use of the word myself. The word seems to be used kinda interchangeably around SC2. | ||
