Congrats to Bygyrd 3 TN for their victory, and good job to everyone involved.
And to EVO, I’d like to extend a gracious hand of sportsmanship for the game in which they narrowly defeated us. Thank you for not rubbing it in our faces, even though you clearly could have. I doubt we would have been so gracious had we won.
Well done to everyone, and especially to the Steel Marauders, tying for 13th is pretty darned good until next time, gents and ladies - good hunting! We’ll be watching in earnest.
Nice job everyone, I wish I could have helped out DYN, but duty calls. I’m a little curious of why they set up the brackets this way though. When I played Starcraft and Counterstrike competitively, if there were teams over the 2^n count, it was setup in a way that there were only positive byes (i.e. if you were eliminated from either bracket you were eliminated with a number of other players/teams, and your finishing place was more equalized). It meant the same number of games, but you had them more spread out over the rounds, instead of what happened here. Dyn lost two games in a row, which was similar to many of our 13th place finishers, but because of the double negative positioning we ended up with 17th place vs tying. A last place team shouldn’t be occurring on double elimination. Granted, 17 teams is probably the worst case for “positive byes only,” requiring a lot of byes well spread out through both brackets, but it just requires less than an hour to figure out. Perhaps next time this can be brought up to the organizers?
