Most likely naniwa will own revival and then loose to soulkey 0-3

Not really. You have to remember that the Naniwa and Revival also have less time to prepare for Soulkey (they will prepare more to play each other).

Its all because Revival was given free points by ESL...he should never be that high in points, seeing his level of play ...

That's just how the shit works. Unless you confirm this, or a bet, or whatever it's not "live." That's how things are done. Look at all the bets done over at Liquidpoker. There's offer, there's the person who accepts the offer, and then there is confirmation by the original bettor. And fuck me, same thing with any contractual obligation. It needs two parties to enter an agreement.

No. It was not obvious what he meant. Sure, that was Naniwa's final goal. However, any player beating Revival would have been a step towards that goal.

Hmmm, thought that Revival forfeited his 2nd place match spot, but w/e, he had his own fair shot..
Guess it's nice to see another match..
However - wonder if Naniwa expected this to happen.. He's a little weird kind of guy, if he thinks that a tourney comes too fast then he doesn't give a f*ck about it whether it being Blizzcon or not, so i'm afraid he wouldn't have prepared.., I mean he's damn brilliant if he has like 2 months to prepare for a tourney, but he can also play terrible games provided by the lack of it..
but come on Nani - at least try to win vs Revival and see you in a group play..

I find this to be really bad decisioning by ESL. They just gave someone close to the cutoff a random seed in IEM, which made this possible even without having a good run (Revival dropped out in the first round), whereas Nani got second in a tournament that he fought through the qualifier. ESL should really not give people close to cutoff a seed, as this is just not how a tie should happen.

I don't think you have to worry about NaNiwa not trying or being ready. He might be abit whiney on twitter, but he is damn good at preparing himself anyway.
Hopefully there will be some good games vs Revival @ the Blizz HQ as a warm up for BlizzCon.

How can people say Inno is having an easier time than SK. Duckdeok is way better than Naniwa/Revival

Are you serious? Bets are total different because you are wagering something so you need acceptance from both sides.
Companies like Google put out 'bounties' for people finding bugs/exploit in their software. There is no need to 'accept'. You just report the bug when you find it and you get paid/reward.
And why bring in contractual obligation, no one is saying Naniwa legally has to pay Taeja. It is just bad form...

The problem for Naniwa having to play Revival first is that he'll have to show some of his prepared PvZ builds, so Soulkey will get a good look at how Naniwa plays. I think that's a real big disadvantage for Naniwa if he does make it into the brackets. Wouldn't consider only having to practice one matchup as an advantage necessarily.

Not to mention that Naniwa was paying for Revival elimination, google's not gonna pay someone for "almost" fixing the bug either will they now.

So showing builds is a disadvantage while practicing 1 match up isn't an advantage. That is pretty arbitary. If anything, those 2 things kind of cancel each other out.

You really want to argue this?
Google is not paying someone to FIX the bug. They are paying someone to show them an exploit. That person gets paid regardless of whether Google can fix the bug or not. Eventhough fixing the bug is Google's FINAL goal, the person still gets paid for helping to TRY to reach the final goal.
Let's say you offer a tutor to help you study for a Math exam. Obviously, the final goal is to pass or do well in the exam. But unless you state your condition (getting an A) at the beginning, you will have to pay the tutor regardless of the outcome of the exam,no?

I honestly don't see how you're arguing this point. If google says "We'll pay you if you find a bug," then anyone that does find a bug will get paid. Even if the bug cannot be fixed, google still pays out. The point is, if you say "A", you cannot go around saying "A only if B as well". That's being dishonest.
