SoS will most likely take whoever makes it to the round of eight(if he gets there) since he is stilling trying to claim a spot usually "not going hard" in a tourney implies doing timing or cheese based builds, and maru & rogue are both good enough to beat any opponent with nothing but allins | ||

I see you use a throwaway account for posting things like this, very "clever". | ||

Both are rich and both are on the last KeSPA team we have in SC2, so probably having good income anyway and both know, that they will get much more money from Blizzcon so it's more important to succeed there. As you wrote, they are professionals  | ||

As you wrote, they are professionals i dunno if i agree that either one of them winning makes it all even to the sponsors - surely both players showing impressive games is better than only one player looking impressive, which is in turn better than neither player looking impressive? sponsorship isn't just having a logo on your shirt; it's also a brand association that is directly affected by public opinion of the sponsored player as for Geo.Rion's post though - i agree with his point, but i don't think criticizing someone's post count is necessary. just because someone has 2 posts and you disagree with them that doesn't automatically make them a bad faith user  comments like that make people not want to join places like TL | ||

I have nothing against new (real) users, im not a post-count elitist. | ||

Simillar stuff is happening also in F1, when a driver let other driver from same team ahead when they are in need of points. Something simillar may happen also here. Yes I'm afraid of this too hope Blizzard is watching very careful for potential match fixing and in regards to your Formula 1 comparison, the thing is in F1 it is 100% legal and part of strategy for winning the drivers championship while also still attaining the same number of points in the constructors championship and if you know anything about F1 the major teams Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull all have number 1 drivers that hold precedence over the other this is the case for all teams in fact just the scenario you described above tends to only happen with teams in contention so they are different but the same in general practice just one is legal and one is not. | ||
