    CWF powering down not a bad idea!

    So I just fought Scorn in CWF and I must say thank you for trying to give a slight opportunity even though he still had 96% hp left

    Game 1: http://www.tynon.com/replays/4342863
    Game 2: http://www.tynon.com/replays/4343914
    Game 3: http://www.tynon.com/replays/4345030

    I hear and see how many people complain about throwing fights and how it 'defeats' the purpose of cwf to see who is strongest.
    You all talk about how much these top players with the rewards at the end of CWF are hitting the ceiling so quickly.
    I see you all talk about how it messes with the betting system.
    IMO, I think that it is good for 'top players' to give 'smaller players' the opportunity to try to perform better by 'powering down' for them, even if it defeats the purpose of the tournament.
    With the 'top players' hitting the ceiling so quickly, imo I think that it is quite nice that they 'throw' the fights for others in the later stages of the tournament and give someone else the chance to get better rewards.
    I don't care how it messes with the 'betting system', as long as other players get the chance to get rewards and catch up, it would be nice for a change.
    Besides I don't have a chance on CWF and will NEVER have a chance in CWF.

    PS: I know it's only the first stages of this current CWF...

    Wat

    Messing up everyone's betting is ok because one person almost got a couple hundred more tickets? Out of all the reason to throw a fight (and I do accept one of them)... this one was the least thought through.

    No one bids on prelims.

    Scorn only powered down so he can get into a different bracket.

    THERE ARE NO BRACKETS !! uCool have no idea how to run any kind of seeding system. eg myself v Blayd, in Knockout 5, so early... 1st and 3rd place prelim finishers.

    ROTFL! should have tried to beat him the last time when you had the chance.
    but hey, the good news is now you can power down again so you dont beat him by "accident" hahahahahaha
    and btw: last CW where you actually made it into the finals, didnt blayd beat avalaria in the very same KO5?

    I agree, the seeding seemed a but off this week. I fought both Fluer and Ava in the early KO rounds. Would be more interesting if we were more towards the end.

    Sorry for your loss, but you are getting tougher each week to beat
