I don't see anything wrong with it.

You can't agree to win a match on purpose. You can only lose a match on purpose.

If Revival does well/wins IEM, he can tie with Naniwa for WCS points. If does, Naniwa and Revival play a tiebreaker vs each other and the winner goes to Blizzcon and automatically gets $5,000 for attending, more for winning.

When are the challenger groups being drawn? Somebody already mentioned players as a response to the Naniwa tweet but at least on Liquipedia the groups are still empty.

Not really. IMO it is blizzards format that is at fault and a smart move by Taeja. We all know Taeja has had health problems in the past so anything he can do to avoid meaningless games to stay healthy and keep strats hidden is the smartest thing by far to do for the upcoming blizzcon


Would a qualifier/code a/code b/challenger format that payed per win instead per placement be better at giving players incentive/help low level players stay afloat until they get enough exposure?


I don't have a fix for it off the top of my head but I am just saying the format blizzard has made has resulted in this situation. Therefore I think Naniwa has every right on his own to offer an incentive for players in Revivals group to play.
JD, need I say more? :D

There's no IEM...
You mean WCS Challenger League - if Revival ends 1st or 2nd, they are tied. And since Taeja reportedly forfeited that group, well...

Challenger then, it gets confusing which counts as what.

IEM was what Revival enough points for this to matter right? (I know its related somehow)

No, I'm asking if it sounds like a good idea

I don't mind the system (confusing, but whatever) what I do mind is payout distribution. Enough money needs to flow to the lower brackets so that it doesn't feel like a waste without gimping the top of the bracket too much to make the competition feel like its not real.

So, for example, if you get $100 for every game you win, you'll fight hard for at least a 2:1 when faced off against a tough opponent. But if you end up stuck in Code B you still at least try hard every single map despite knowing you can't go to Blizzcon.

Payout system changes once you get out of the qualifier/challenger of course, but I was asking the thread in general if that would be a fair way of getting money to the amateurs.

If Revival wins out Blizz should offer $500 to whoever wins the tie breaker between them lol

Pretty sure its only if Revival comes in first in the group, I definitely could be wrong though

EDIT: I am wrong, didn't realize liquipedia separated 9th-16th and 17th-24th and even though they give the same amount of points

So what prevents:

1. Revival and other player to reach agreement
2. Revival throws game
3. Revival and other player splits $500
