I can't even figure out what the hell is going on with this part. The whole Chinese thing seems to be a case of people not reading the rules, but this is just insane. | ||

At some point even Sundance has to see that this could really hurt MLG in the long run. At some point he should stop to frickin tweet like a kid and actually put together a statement to clear the waves. | ||

The bracket on Liquipedia didn't make sense (we discussed it in LR yesterday but I don't remember on which page) because when guys dropped down, they just played the same bracket the played in the winner bracket. So if you won, you probably played a guy you lost to down the line. It just didn't make sense. | ||

Lower Bracket is very confusing, and it seems to have no interaction with the initial seedings of players, and it looks like the admins have manually and arbitrary choosen the matchups, as their is no link to the inital seedings in upper bracket. | ||

I also thought the brackets changed from Saturday to Sunday, but I didn't pay attention since I was out. | ||

MLG2: "Shit.. look at that, a CHINESE might win..." MLG1: ".... DQ him." MLG2: "People are starting to ask about the brackets, what should we do?" MLG1: "Shit. Okay, let's just hide them and not offer any explanation then if they wonder why they changed tell them that they're remembering it wrong!" MLG2: "Genius!!!" | ||

Only explenation would be that the onces who were probably gonna qualify, didnt fit the playbook for WCS NA 2013, which would not be good for maximizing profits and goals. Admins dont fuck up brackets... they had 24h to check, someone must have checked the brackets between saturday and sunday.. Next to the fact the banning of chinese player was really late, which strengtens my consiracytheory that MLG dq-ed some players out, or put players against each other that didnt fit the playbook. | ||

Frankly, HwangSin shouldn't have been playing Miya by this logic. I think people aren't giving MLG credit for correcting things instead of letting them run incorrectly. | ||

I think people aren't giving MLG credit for correcting things instead of letting them run incorrectly. Rigging brackets is "correcting things" now? If people played the wrong persons, just creating a bracket by hand willy nilly is not the way to fix it. Re-doing the whole thing would be, but not arbitrary changing the brackets as it fits best. | ||
