Congratulations also to NVIDIA. Their team looked very professional and did well to get the B Division first place.
I watched part of the game Kwun played against EBay's XD. It was a real exciting game. Great job Kwun for beating the top pair. NVidia's team shirt was very nice and team spirit was high. They get the top price for loudest cheers for their team.
i'm still searching for the answer.. ..but can someone explained to me the difference between Div. A and Div. B?..are they based on levels of play?..if not, based on what?..if Oracle won Div. A (beating Ebay), how could Ebay play Nvidia who won Div. B, in the playoff rd.?..or i'm missing something??.. thanks in advance..
I missed all the final actions due to other commitments. Hopefully, the tournament committee had also planned (and executed) video recordings of all the Finals (and possibly SF) and would upload perhaps to Youtube for sharing. I'm sure a lot of us would like to view and would very much enjoy them.
..i read that post, but was thrown off a bit after reading fourdims' posts.. anyway, i figured it out now: kwun's team was playing eBay in the group play not in the playoff. At the very least kwun's team can go home knowing they beat the runners-up team..
I am sorry if I misled you. I dont know where I misled you though. Actually, although Kwun won his XD match against EBay his team lost to EBay. Otherwise, NVidia would be in Division A instead of B.
right. it would be an outright daydream for us to beat ebay. the skill level difference is just too much at this point.
..i got somewhat thrown off after reading your 2 posts, on the previous page...anyway, it's clear now.. ..i jumped to conclusion on kwun's team's result...Actually, not knowing the overall strength of the 4 teams in the group, Nvidia could still end up in Div. B even if they had won against eBay (best they'll end up with a 1-2 record). And eBay could still end up in Div. A even if they had lost to Nvidia (worst they end up with a 2-1 record). Top 2 teams move to Div. A and the rest to Div. B. (3-0, 2-1, 1-2, 0-3)
i will say it again, it would be a daydream for us at this point to win against ebay. the actual score for the matches are: MD1: 21-6 / 21-11 MD2: 21-11 / 21-12 MD3: 21-15 / 15-21 / 20-22 WD: 21-6 / 21-8 XD: 19-21 / 21-17 / 20-22 so as you see, for the matches that we won, we just scraped it. the rest are not even close.

..yeah, i realized that.. so, what was Nvidia's record in group play? what was the final score in the tie for Div. B Final?
..i see.. i wonder if you guys would've made it into Div. A playoff if your team was placed in a different group??..or was that group considered the "lightest" of the 4 groups??..

haha. one of them is not the team. the yellow shirts are the group of team reps. the 15 of us come from the 15 participating companies and we are the ones who meet regularly and discuss via email and we organized the whole tournament.
