27/02/2014 22:36:00

damnit, some of A-C brackets should've been moved to E-H spot to make it more interesting imo

27/02/2014 22:53:00

Where's the fun when you, shooting-star and toffifee always get to semifinals/finals ? Others deserve that too you know? If you win every time, if you're that good, then winning every weekly should be hard for you guys, right?

wtf man, only players who can beat these players deserves to be there, or do you want to win everything without learning maps and kz? These brackets are there for ballanced battles for all of us

28/02/2014 01:02:00

Lots of people said that you are biggest kz geek in the world right now

27/02/2014 23:34:00

Actually only the strongest deserve it, not everyone :)

28/02/2014 00:50:00

there's like 6~ potential cup winners all in the upper bracket and maybe 1 i'd put my money on in the lower bracket. i'd prefer that 3~ of them didn't go out in the round of 16 because the later matches tend to be more important and crucial to perform your best. these perceived "lesser skilled players" should be able to beat the proven players in the round of 16 anyways and it would be awesome if they did. but getting a free ride to the quarterfinals or semis essentially because of luck of the draw is a pretty poor way to go about things especially in single-elimination format. at least in my opinion anyway and as someone just watching the cups i'd rather watch a game like shooting-star vs toffifee later on in the semi-finals or grand finals. also players like Gene who seem to have recently started playing a bit end up getting put up a against someone like g-Lp in the very first round. maybe figure out how to balance it better based on previous weekly cup results. players like shooting-star put into group A and Toffifee into group E, until it's all filled out. randomize the other players who haven't put up any recent results. idk could work better.

28/02/2014 05:13:00

when are you going to play in one pizza?

28/02/2014 08:16:00

i was planning to play this one but i wasn't home when it got posted and ended up being too late. hopefully next week though!

27/02/2014 23:56:00

holy f.... sh... wanna see DeathClaw vs lrs *-*

28/02/2014 03:57:00

I am in "overges"

28/02/2014 06:38:00

@pizza^ we saw finals like that 3 times in a row now that's why im trying to make it a little different this time

28/02/2014 08:15:00

ok so instead of having arguably the two best players in the grand finals you think it's a better idea to match them up in the first round? also from what you said it sounds like you didn't even randomize it so how is that fair for the players at all? i don't understand

28/02/2014 11:30:00

I''m in
