Outwitters WORLD CUP Winner - Alvendor (SWEDEN)

[CombatEX]

Yes, I agree that this worked well in group stages, but doesn't really make sense in knockout stages. Giving the win to the player who rushes isn't an indication of skill. It's okay in group stages because that tiebreaker doesn't come into play as often. In knockout stages however I imagine the tiebreaker will be used heavily. This doesn't equal skill. A player could play a slower style and win 90% of their games compared to a player who does a lot of rushes but wins 60% of their games. The former player is definitely better, but would almost assuredly lose early on in the knockout rounds of this tournament. Please consider Samura|'s suggestion.

It is a good compromise between GreatGonzales' tiebreaker and the World Cup's tiebreaker.

With a draw, the player who won his game in fewer turns will be P1 in the next game, but the other player can choose the map? This would at least maintain the integrity of both games. And winning your game faster gives you the first turn advantage, but you still have to win 2 out of 3 games.

I strongly suggest we take this approach lest the results of this tournament are rather marginalized (who is the best rusher instead of who is the best player?).
