Well, I missed the bracket on the stream, didn't read the thread, and bought the 'we use multiple brackets' explanation. So I had an enjoyable, spoiler-free TSL finals. I really don't understand why people tried so hard to spoil as many other people as possible though. Makes no sense at all.

Quite a hilarious cock up looking back on it now, was damn annoying at the time. Especially as TL.net has shown how much they strongly dislike games being spoiled by making Tarson forfeit half his prize money for telling people not to watch his games, for example.

I think that you guys made the right choice in trying to make it seem like those weren't the actual results. Less people were spoiled because of it, and even the people who did see it probably had a little bit of doubt after Mondragon went up 2-0. I was luckily enough to not see it, since I was playing BW with the stream sound in the background until the games actually came on, and didn't read the LR thread during the games as I was too busy watching them!

the result was already spoiled when a guy made a thread about djwheat.tv running an interview with the "winner" after the show.

Hmm.. didn't realized that happened.. I was with a group of friends and we were trying to fix the stream so it didn't affect us.

I like the way day9 put it:

"The stream is not working right now, so just watch this screen that spoils the results." lol...wow.

I think that the best thing to do would be not the three options listed, but actually create a bunch of smurf accounts and start spamming the thread with random conflicting results. Then people would know the results were leaked but wouldn't know what the actual results were.

i like this idea. i remember when i finished an SAT practice book and gave it to a friend, i circled every answer to every question so he wouldn't know which one i actually picked.

ofc, you could just "spoil" it next time by posting something similar to "Mondi 4-1"

I didn't see and knew that people were talking about the spoiler, but it didn't ruin the games for me at all. Good job playing it down and it sucks that people were chatting about it.

Do you really think we would only have Nony interviewed? I talked to the players last week about it. Sooo...relax.

Stop asking people to feel sorry for you. This is not the time and place. This thread should have been a straight-up apology.

yeah you're right, tl staff obviously shouldnt be in charge of tournaments like this. we paid good money, and this is what we get? you should start your own.

+ Show Spoiler +

in case it wasn't obvious, tl owes you nothing. and if this thread isnt an apology, then i'm sure you're looking for a "Sorry we fucked up" thread that'll make you even more smug

They did apologize... this basically was an apology, and Carnac apologized himself.
What more do you want?
Did this FREE, COMMUNITY RAN tournament not satisfy you or something? >_>
I didn't like the spoiler either, but hell, it was a great tourny.

I'm upset. What'll I do on weekends now? T_T

As soon as it went 3-2 for NonY I knew he would win the next game. :/ It's okay though because Canada beat the U.S.! lol

It was a great tourney otherwise, and this would have pissed me off even if they were paying me to watch it. You can't make a mistake like that and say "ohhh, but this is so hard on us, please feel sorry for US"
