well how is possible to let a full bracket go public? that's one downside of prerecorded games.
i'm totally on your side with spoilers and ruining it for others, but something like that isn't allowed to happen!

and for everyone who doesn't want to get spoiled: don't read any news site articels or threads about the IGN PL and enjoy the games!

It's their own fault. Completely retarded to use a public "bracket maker" or whatever it's called. They should have just hired some web developer to do it for them.

Why recreate the wheel? I think the Bracket maker tool should default all brackets to private unless the user makes it public them selves.

Yeah, but since that function doesn't seem to exist, then why choose that platform? It makes more sense to use things that you have total control over and can customize the way you want. And hell, it doesn't require much time to code a simple bracket.

So all games have already been played? I mean, I knew it was prerecorded, but I figured they'd just have everything played one day before broadcasting or something. Explains how they can make sure production values are sky-high though -

It actually was a private bracket, and if we did it internally there's nothing to stop someone who had access to it from taking a screenshot and spreading it if they really wanted to. This doesn't mean we're not going to try to take more security measures in the future, but it definitely was not a public open bracket out there for anyone to find. Sorry that it got leaked to anyone that got unintentional spoiled by it, but keep in mind looking at a bracket and actually seeing the games are quite different things. I hope everyone can move on from this, if you really want to spoil yourself on the games, you always could, bracket leak or no. If you don't want to spoil yourself, avoid clicking on questionable links, just like for most other events.

Hope everyone is looking forward to tonight as much as we are here at IGN!

Why on earth do you keep reinforcing it then? Why did you selectively quote the second part of that post and ignore the first part about this very subject that I keep bringing up and I'm still honestly waiting for you to answer. Why do you keep treating me and anyone else who brings up problems with your casting like you're a christian fundamentalist trying to avoid any logical question from an atheist about your faith? Why are you placing that sort of grandiose battle between good and evil, troll and not troll rhetoric that's entirely out of place in any sort of discussion?

Why are you so scared of admitting any form of wrong to the point that it negatively affects your ability to do your job well?
