Good thing Taeja vs Revival wasn't the first match of the group. Taeja would have been able to beat Revival, throw the winner's match, and beat Revival again in the final match for an easy $500 or $1000. Jesus that awful group stage format needs to go.


It's terrible, but gsl did it, so the world caters.

What are you talking about? Why would TaeJa throw the winner's match? Are you talking about NaNiwa's dumb "bounty"? If so, then all you're illustrating is how the "bounty" creates unfair incentives, it has nothing to do with the perfectly fine group system.

guess there are pros and cons to every system/format
would love if they used all-meets-all in groups as well
but that would also open up to players favoring his teammates etc...
some get a too easy ride and some to rough tbh but maybe if the groups were a little larger?
maybe 10, why not use that as a multiple instead...
ro40 ro20 ro10 (extended current format)
then maybe making last 10 go one vs one, 5 winners, plus 3 from loser side = 8 etc

but Blizz, you must Make the ro16 be bo5 !!!

(ofc regardless the above prefer. at the same location/boots/event etc.)

best foreigner ever, Naniwa, WB!!

Revival most likely 3-0. Then he goes on to get 3-0'd by Innovation. The fact Naniwa beat him at one of the previous Season Finals makes me want to watch the rematch instead though.


The winner of Revival/Naniwa plays Soulkey...

Oh yeah. Had no idea Innovation was surpassed. Well either way it's not like facing Soulkey instead is a much better option, the dude's a beast.


Soulkey did lose 3-0 to MC and 4-0 to Dear a so I think being a Protoss gives Naniwa a slight edge.

Dear currently is a goddam monster and MC is MC. Soulkey wiped the flour with the other protoss he came across.

Not only did he wiped the floor with the other Protosses, but one of those Protosses was PvZ super-sniper Trap.

What real sports use, some combination of round robin and single elimination.

The presence of a bounty to defeat a particular player in the group is an anomaly. This format works because every game matter. A round robin can lead to tie and meaningless matches.

I am not a starcraft fan, I am an esport fan

I don't like football, I think the game is stupid, but I love watching my hometeam.

Same with starcraft, I think it's quite a stupid game with a lot of stupidites.

But I love watching a player I love competing.


soo ,as i said .. your a homer ?

usually the worst kind of fans in the buisness,dont know much about the sport, and come up with stupid comments about it and are blinded by theyre love to theyre home team.i said usually.

Haha cuz its really the other kind of "fans" that bring the world forward: the self-righteous bureaucrats with liberal "sound" views and spotless characters that just wants good games and constantly judge players and fans by their high moral standards.

Well thank heavens for the fans with boiling blood although it results in primitive reactions now and then. The homer-haters tend to make every event a political congress or something anyway. Such a lame and unrealistic perspecitve in my view.
