I don't necessarily disagree but that's not how it's communicated and considering how much more effort was put into hiding the identities for the players as well it's most likely not intended either.
If you are also looking for Non-English songs, it's missing RagnarRavnson's song that Nili used for GerMonday:

Just to present a different opinion: I love that this tournament exists and hope that there will be many future editions.
Yes, it will never be the biggest hype tournament, neither regarding the format, nor the prize money. But you still have the best players participating and playing super...

Thank you, both! Always a bit tough for me to stay updated on the Asian scenes.
@DuDUZhu Do you mean that 江东小霸王 and hailanxing.1 are the same player or both are main nicks respectively?
Let's go ahead with some predictions :-)
Platinum League
Group A
Yo and DauT should certainly be the favourites here but Valas has been really consistent in reaching top 16 and starting to challenge the top players. Despite his crazy playstyle I don't really see Lyx having a chance to stay in...

So BacT won't participate in season 3 and LaaaaaN got promoted.
It's not a major deal to me but I still think it's a bit weird to give this spot to another player from Gold League. There was quite some discussion on the number of players promoted/relegated being too high. While I think that...
One more example I remember out of my head in big tournaments is Hoang in HC3 qualifier vs DauT. I'm sure there are a few other examples if I do some research. In smaller tournaments it feels like it happens every other week. Besides, it can hardly be worse than not showing up for a match at...
Calm down, guys. He received a 50% prizepool reduction just now.
As much as I dislike it, it is unfortunately quite common to forfeit in the middle of a match. If you want to ban everyone who did that, there would be quite a few less players. Also people would just come up with excuses to...
I don't think anyone here ever said that "balance should base in lower elos" (in the sense of being the focus of balancing), all people are saying is that low elo gameplay should be considered in the balance as well. I know you don't really want to understand other people's opinion but I'll give...
That's not true, CSGO uses it as well. (No clue about the others)
Check e.g. https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/ESL/Challenger_League/Season_45/Europe
Note that some of the "3-0 fests" have been in favor of the lower seed, so that rather speaks in favour of having more players.
I think the main reason for it is the Arabia only format. In many tourneys, if you are having a bad day and the opponent has a good day, you can try to get into the...
