You should chill to be honest. There are five people posting in this thread. 3962 other people are actually listening and thinking about what is said on the panel. Chill.


rofl thinking? do you see that troll chat?

Alright. Subtract about 50 more. Still no reason for a MLG representative to act like this.


Are you this offended that I said to 'chill'? It was not intended to be combative, apologies if I upset you. Have a great weekend.

If he was the better player he would have stopped the cheese of the other player.
Why do people always act like cheese is a lower lvl of play, its a strategy like an other and if it works said player deserves to win and is the better player then.


I'm not saying that a better player will always lose to a worse player who cheeses, and I think you're missing the statistical fact of longer series reducing the volatility of results between players who are measuredly better and worse.

So why don't we play Bo101, Bo10001? The only way to figure out the absolute best player is to play Best of positive Infinity right?

Yes, I wonder why tournaments don't do Bo101s. You should contact them.

Edit: In case you don't understand this, you have to balance between fairness, time and entertainment for the viewers.

Great initiative!

Really enjoyed watching this, good parts of every panel - I still think the most reasureing one was the Marketing-guys going at it - However, I hope that the 6 guys who just left the stage will be the ones that really gets to sit down, get shitfaced and make great things happen together.

"They are killing esports, no bullshit" (by setting up monoculture)

Mh.. i wonder. Would you guys stop watching Stacraft 2 tournaments, or League of Legends tournaments, when Blizzard or Riot only would produce those tournaments? (Different country tournaments, one big tournament, etc)

Would it become boring?
Because if they want to set something like this up, those companies will hire the needed people that have enough competence and knowledge of how to organise such a tournament.


Generally when a sports grows large enough, it becomes consolidated under one league. The culture then grows from grassroots support into team support based on region.

I wasn't personally offended. Don't think anyone was offended. That's not something anyone has touched here at all. Maybe you were offended? So offended by comments that you made the comment to begin with? I don't know and I don't care. We're here for the same reasons. Just be sure to not mistake a vocal minority for the whole community, that could potentially be very dangerous.

If you're watching a poker tournament and it gets down to three way or heads up, would you prefer for them to just go all in for a coin flip, or play it out to see who is the better player? The coin flip can be tense and exciting at times, but that's only because we don't constantly see it. If we're seeing nothing but coin flips, doesn't that kind of stagnate the game a bit and cheapen the win?

i don't need to. I'm fine with their using Bo1. Some people are too worked up with the idea "better player needs to win".

This was great and I really enjoyed the two last panels. Props for the initiative and thanks to those participating.

And I hope the sound won't be an issue this weekend. Hopefully it was just a trouble to get all those microphones to play nice.

Yeah exactly. There's actually not a single good reason why every series in a weekend-long tournament isn't a "best of positive infinity" match.

I'm going to just assume you're attempting to be funny and that your comment was rhetorical. Please don't reply to me unless you have something intelligent to say on the topic.
