Congrats to naniwa.
Holy shit this thread almost has 1k pages O_O
|
Those groups are scary as shit.
|
Wish MLG would hurry up and upload the Kiwikaki vs Select games, really want to watch game 2 again~
|
congratz Nani! Good job man!
|
Is there anywhere where you can watch vods or replays from this show?
|
It's actually stunning what Naniwa accomplished. Mind = blown
|
I wonder how many people would have been complaining about the format if it had been TLO that had replaced Incontrol at #4 with the same results, or even painuser? Nobody seems to be complaining that Idra came in 7th place after going 2-2 and then winning one match.
Seems like people are more upset that it was Geoff who got far than about the format in general.
|
is this the biggest thread in TL as of now?
|
wow pool b would be horrible...kiwi and huk again for IDra?! and a team kill to boot.
|
Congratulations to iNcontroL. It's not 1st place, but 4th is pretty good.
So... now that the event is over and the thread has slowed down, let me re-ask my question (that I asked hundreds of pages ago).
I thought I had the whole bracket system figured out... but I was wrong. Can someone explain how the open players are placed into the championship bracket? With 24 players total and 16 players from the seeded pool, that means 8 players are from the open pool. And from those players, 4 of them are in the 1st round of the loser's bracket. The other 4 are placed at different spots in that bracket, even Naniwa got all the way into the winner's bracket, finishing 1st in his group... which confuses me even more.
Okay, so 4 of the 8 are placed into the groups, making them groups of 5. What is the difference between the 4 that got placed into groups and the 4 that are placed in the loser's bracket, round 1?
Thanks.

So let's see...
1st: NaNiwa (26-2)
2nd: KiWiKaKi (16-4)
3rd: SeleCT (10-5)
4th: iNControL (8-6)
Is that right? inControL actually placed 4th out of over 200 people by going 8-6? Really? This format favoring the top seeds is just terrible. And NaNiwa played so many more games, it would've been a travesty had he not won it in the end.
4th: Incontrol (8-6): beats Slush, TLO, and Mihai, and loses to TLO 2-1 to take extended series win, loses to Kiwikaki 2-0
5th: LiquidTLO (13-7) : beats Incontrol 2-0 and places 4th if there is no extended series, has to face all the same players + IdrA, Tyler, Drewbie. You tell me who deserves 4th.
6th: ATnSocke (10-10): rightfully loses to Kiwikaki, but beats Moonan, Sjow, Haypro, HuK, Gretorp to get to this spot.
Format is completely and utterly terrible.

Did anyone make a replay pack yet?
|
1st place: wc3
2nd place: wc3
3rd place: wc3
UH OH! I THOUGHT WC3 PLAYERS WERE MEANT TO FAIL?

The rankings reflect the performance of the people you beat. TLO had a better overall record than iNcontroL, but one of the people iNcontrol beat was TLO. In other words, some wins are weighted more than others, based on those people's performances.
It all works out mathematically, but I know what you mean. When they set it up like this, it's more swingy. The matches into the group play count for so much more than the championship bracket matches. So if that's what people's complaints are about then... I agree.

The 4 highest in the open winners bracket go into pool play as if they were seeded, 1 in each group, they then play everyone in the group then just get placed like normal, the 4 from the losers open basically go into the losers championship bracket and have to run a gauntlet of the pool players with the pool players moving 1 spot back for every spot down they came in pool play.
