This feeling must really suck. Preparing for an opponent, bein up 1-0 and then this happens and it's all for nothing. | ||

In that case, the general consensus was that it was likely an attempt to rig the brackets to prevent a ZvZ final. | ||

(I think the bracket gave him an early match with Neeb rather than being on the other side of the bracket) In that case, the general consensus was that it was likely an attempt to rig the brackets to prevent a ZvZ final. WCS Valencia brackets were bizarre (and didn't get corrected) iirc. The regular crowd who claimed that the brackets were rigged to prevent ZvZ were just being retarded as usual though. | ||

Firstly it would be necessary to stop playing all the games together, even for a WCS qualifier, it is a major competition and we can not highlight the players if we can follow only 3 games out of the 12 that will be played in the evening. Moreover, the games have become so fast since the arrival of the 12 collectors that we will systematically have qualifier that lasts 2h30. It's not enough to do a good job, I could have understood if the game was still in 6 collectors, but it is 2 elements that drastically reduce the show. It's too much. Balancing is also a problem, I respect the new team and I want to give their time, but the people who look at the E-sport are there to have a good time now, not tomorrow, not when the patch will come. If at one time the hydras win systematically without upgrade, people get tired of always seeing the same game of 12 min, with always the same opening, it's not fun, and it's not the Starcraft 2 that has made so many people dream. After 7 years you have to be honest, either the game is moving in the right direction, or people are getting tired. Even with a free-to-play game and special beginner programs (the Creamery on OGSC2) we can not get people to play because the game has become too demanding. Most of us do not see it because we played so much at WOL / HOTS that we had time to understand the units, shortcuts and mechanics of the game. Now players have to understand everything with an ultra fast game that does not allow to do simple things. The 6 pool was simple, now all builds minimum requests to know all keyboard shortcuts, which is not normal. It's a long time ago when we could see a pro player won as a DRG with an 8 pool, which anyone could try after 3 hours of play. So we end up with a game centered on the pros players, which themselves is limited in builds order compared to HOTS while we have more unit now. We could say that the players are more dreamy than before because the game is harder but the opposite has happened: the game is too hard, so more people do not dream of being strong at SC2, because it takes too much time for the pleasure it brings. So, i can understand what's happened tonight, it happens sometimes, the problem is when you add up all the problems around the game, you realize that without good choice on the part of Blizzard, it will be difficult for the community to continue to maintain this game at the top of the bill. We need you Blizzard, please, if people are not competent change the post, but move SC2 in the right direction, because after 7 years of passion, it becomes complicated to ignore all these problems.

Or is it that the organizers don’t provide them with the necessary resources? (Rules, updated player info, etc) This situation is so serious that it caused Silvana to actually post. Somebody, do something now! | ||

Sure mistakes happen, but in my opinion the real mess-up was not giving the players enough time to prepare for their new opponents/process the abrupt change. | ||
