Quite honestly, I hope they just keep it the way it is. They've backpedaled and changed enough times this tourney. I'm fine with the brackets the way they are. CCP needs to stick to their guns on this one I think. Certainly it's not like other tournaments, but it's a beta tournament anyway, and for no real-world prizes. so let them run it the way they see fit.

I'm tired of them changing stuff up mid-tourney. I mean, we are asking for a change to the brackets NOT EVEN A SINGLE DAY after they changed them already. I'm fine with the changes they've made so far, but to keep making us second guess and get our hopes/nerves up only to pull the chair out from under us is... well, it's inconsistent and frankly makes the whole thing feel rather disorganized and ... *sigh*

Just leave the damn bracket the way is, play the tourney, win/lose/whatever and may the next tourney be better for it.

Changing the brackets is not that big of a deal, chill.

You're not playing in the tournament (granted this isn't someone's alt), so your view might be a little bit out of touch with the reality.

Omnipotens Zitro Doomheim 425	Posted - 2012.10.29 15:07:00 - [1] - Quote I just noticed the Brakets for the Quarter Finals. The Error in the Brakets you posted is that for the EU & US you have the number 1 seed facing each other. SI (3-0) vs Zion TCD (3-0) & ROFL House (3-0) vs Imperfects (3-0). While the the second place finishers from each group face each other. I do agree that the two team who advanced from each group shoudn't face each other for Quarters. In every tourney, you have the first seed in each group face a lower seed in the Quarters because the number 1 seed earn their spot with-in group play. The Brakets should look like this: SI (3-0) vs The Southern Legion (2-1) Zion TCD (3-0) vs What The French (2-1) Imperfects (3-0) vs KEQ (2-1) ROFL House (3-0) vs SyNergy Gaming (2-1)

By doing this it puts atleast 1 corporation with a seed of 5 or lower to take 3rd place getting a share of the prizes. While yes i understand CCP can do whatever the kitten the want this does kind of make me scratch my head as to why they would do it this way.

Nobody is perfect in this world. They will just simply change it as CCP has the authority to do so.

Seems like they just rushed to change the brackets without really thinking it through.

Any corp that thinks less is foolish! I know I want the first place! Anything else is meaningless! I couldnt care less about second or third place! And getting first place means beating The Imperfects! This is what my mindset is !

Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2012.10.29 15:57:00 - [11] - Quote I think it is really unfair to knock out two of the top seeded teams from competition for third place. I know the prize isn't stellar, but it certainly isn't right to penalize coming out of the first round on top.
Berserker007 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 206	Posted - 2012.10.29 16:26:00 - [12] - Quote yeah, i would have to agree this might be a CCP error in setting up the brackets. If you look at it as you would an NCAA bracket, you dont face other divisions till the semi finals (ie: Final 4). So yeah, it should still be in group brackets. So, it should be: SI vs WTF Zion vs TSL Imperfects vs SyN ROFL vs KEQ

The OP is right, should be Imperfects vs KEQ and SyN vs ROFL.

The OP is right, should be Imperfects vs KEQ and SyN vs ROFL. yes, that works too. Simply meant it shouldnt really be #1's in the four groups playing each other in the Q-finals; as it is essentially a penalization for doing good; that 2 of the top 4 teams would get eliminated

It is still the beginning of the week so I see no problem with a change in the bracket, however if they wait until the last minute and change it that's where I see complaints over the change being understandable. Besides its just a Beta Tourny
