He is even more Finnish than Villese. I love it.

I never thought we would see anyone even more Finnish than Ville xDD

 

[Lightysword]

When the robots finally take over at least I know that humanity will survive after seeing Valas' answers.

Yo dreaming that he's a spearman and being chased by a crossbowman is hilarious 1111111

Thanks I was looking for it. Skinny has tendency to mention things without giving a link

 

[Giuseppe551]

Valas' interview skills only rivaled by Marshawn Lynch in his prime

 

[TopperHarley]

webcams are great for Boa, good to see faces to the names

 

[SuperskinnyBLS]

Nicov with no hesitation answering the pocket question xDDDD

 

[Chainsaw]

aM living up to the expectations with that interview. Hera's Zombie apocalypse answer, Liereyy with the hidden talent, MBL with the drama; it's just too good. How these guys form a team is wild 11. Liereyy best flank confirmed?

 

[IamJeo]

links/timestamps to interviews of today?

 

[Elvaenor]

links/timestamps to interviews of today?

Not an exact timestamp, but the interview for aM' at least was played right at the end of Membs today's stream. So if you play 5mins from the end you should easily catch it.

I liked Locke's interview, instead of very short answers he really put effort to answer in detail as much as he can and he was collaborative which means he is aware that this kind of content is important for streamers.

 

[JoshuaR]

I didn't realize Lyx was the master strategist!

 

[Chainsaw]

Memb said there are 3 interviews of each team, each with different questions and that he'd eventually upload them on youtube.

To let you know, we said to the players that we need quick/short answers, so if the players are answering them fast/short is not because they do not care or do not put effort, is because is what we asked.

 

[Michaerbse]

I didn't realize Lyx was the master strategist!

All of WWP's strategies involve Lyx dying in one way or another. So it kinda has to be him suggesting this. Would be rude from the others to always say: "Lyx, we decided that you will sacrifice yourself again today"

 

[Influenza]

I wonder if there is any stream delay on the main channel, or are we just trusting all the players to play fair KEKW

Why would you insinuate this? Is there something to suggest someone would be a badboy? :3

One thing I dont really understand / like is how the second round of matches is determined for the group stage. From what I can tell they’re based on the initial seedings within the winners/losers subsets. I feel that this gives no incentive for teams to take games in the opening matches, as a 3-2 gets you in the same spot as a 3-0. Feel free to correct me if this is incorrect however.

Ex:

TMT and QNA are playing each other in the elimination matches, despite both having a higher game differential than CCN and DS.

That is right. Basically how you can also look at these groups is as two combined GSL groups. The seeding and seeding inheriting (if you beat higher seeded team you get its seed) keep the two groups together in the 2nd round, while the purpose of the larger "swiss" groups comes in play for the deciders as it avoids round 1 repeated matchups.

In the end it's the same as a double elimination round right?
