It makes absolutely no sense for two teams going 3-0 to knock each other out in the quarter finals, and to let some 2-1 team pass a 3-0 team. Secondly, ROFL has much stronger players, more dedicated specialists, and more solid match leadership from our separate-in-dust KEQ counterpart. You're correct in stating that the original match brackets were wrong, KEQ probably should've been group 3 and another team from group 3 in our group 4. You are however incorrect in implying that somehow the match was thrown -- play 10 corporation matches with ROFL, play 10 corporation matches with KEQ, I'm pretty sure you'll more clearly understand the difference by then, since you obviously don't now.

Nevertheless, it wouldn't change the result that the strongest teams have made it to the finals. I've seen the teams, I know how they play. Quite frankly even STB is better than SyN, and they didn't even get into the tournament. You were happy as could be when you felt so sure two 3-0 teams were going to knock each other out, but oh so sad after they fixed the brackets back.

Roughly half of ROFL wanted to fight Imperfects (myself included) on this previous weekend, I didn't personally want the bracket to revert back, but it wouldn't have made sense for either us or the Imperfects to lose out due to improper tourney seeding.

Lastly, let's be realistic, you didn't have any chance of winning the tournament anyway, considering the fiercest competition stomped you out (likely easily I suspect), so ultimately you can choose to be bitter about it, or you can go root for another team to win.

P.S. I've never been impressed by any of the scrubs in your corp, besides "Example Core" who's probably the best on foot player you have, everyone else isn't really up to par. Now go find something else to do. Adios.

When they started it? Lol, gotta hand it to ROFL, they know how to turn tables. But i predict SI and Imps in finals, tbh think its a bit premature to call who would win that fight. Either way sure will be interesting to see results

It's really unfortunate that the brackets weren't set up as KEQ vs Imperfects and ROFL vs SyN. We would have had some knowledge on the Imperfects, and SyN wouldn't have anything to accuse us of on the forums. Exactly, being called out on a fallacy and responding isnt starting a fight, Mavado was responding to ROFL calling him out but you guys were acting as if he was picking a fight. Tbh he did have a point, no tournament is run the way CCP did it, but its useless bringing it up now. Anyways not my fight to fight, i just am somewhat tedious about logic, it goes with my profession. Ironically, that makes me illogical because this place is like Plato's cave. In any case, you two should fight it out in true New Eden style, and then shake hands and give your gfs

Now go find something else to do. Adios. I guess you didnt read what Mavado was suggesting, he was suggesting the proper style like any sport tournament would have. It would be ROFL vs SyN, A1 (1 representing place they got in thier group, letter representing group) vs B2 A2 vs B1 C1 vs D2 D1 vs C2 Its the most accurate way since it allows a 1st place grp team to prove they are worthy of the position and a 2nd place grp team the opportunity to prove they are better and just positioned in a difficult grp.
