How they gone flat out lie.....smh. This shit's pathetic

 

[kirblar]

Those tweets reek of "I am desperate to keep my job, please understand."

 

[Dark Ninja]

So was that terrible band sent out to distract everybody as they scramble

 

[biosnake20]

anyone hear that mic chat

"theres a lot of money on the line"

"we can put everybody in a room and let them decide"


also

Yea i heard that too

 

[enzo_gt]

man did you catch that aside on stream

"It's a lot of money on the line y'know"

"We can put everybody in a room and let them decide"

I guess they're figuring it out

You heard this? The mic is on?

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Most likely the bracket at the cup is just different to what is online.

Don't worry about it too much, just enjoy the matches.

There is a proper way to seed a losers bracket. They're not doing it.

It only bothers me to the extent that they've cracked down on other tournaments for not running a proper bracket, so it's just ironic as hell to see it in the top 4 of CapCup.

OK! The online bracket is incorrect, our apologies for the confusion. We have been going off an internal bracket the whole tournament!

Denying mistakes were made in the tournament. Claiming online bracket wrong

Suuuuure... photographic evidence, please?

FGC |OT| The Fraud is coming from inside the developer

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I hope the Megas play at my wedding and funeral

Project X for mine

 

[Trey]

Guess they need Sony money to develop the brackets too

holy shit

 

[ChouGohan]

Lmao I have 2nd impact jazzy nyc playing on my vita right now

EDIT: WTF kind of nephlim sorcery, its perfectly synched

 

[Revven]

Oh man I didn't catch that (if that was really said). Dang, I hope they're taking this break then to talk to the players and get their opinion and reach a resolution that everyone's happy with. And they're just tweeting out this stuff to deter the viewers from the situation momentarily.

Or, that's just my wishful thinking... lol...

 

[kirblar]

FGW | Even Marn ran better brackets

 

[darkblade77]

You heard this? The mic is on?

Yeah. It was on for a moment between songs.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Guile's theme may go with everything, but apparently NOT The Megas

Is that Chad Warden?

 

[jman2050]

Double elim brackets are intentionally "twisted" every other round (not sure if that's the right word to use) to ensure that anyone who loses in the Winner's Bracket does not immediately face a player that they have already beaten (unless it's at the very the end I guess). The online bracket does this correctly, whatever paper brackets they're using didn't.

 

[EarlyEarly]

Wait, when was this?

When Fuudo won Evo and Itabashi was a commentator on the Japanese restream. Dude just broke down.

 

[Osu 16 Bit]

I also heard the "everyone in a room" talk from the mic. Crazy. They must do the right thing and redo losers matches.

 

[Igo]

So this is why Ultradavid took so long to confirm the matchup even as Ryan and Momochi were sitting in front of the tv.

Idiots.

 

[Nibel]

Seems like they are so incompetent again that they might accidentally leak DMC5

 

[CountBlack]

CAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCPCCCCCOMMMMMMMM

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Megaman was running both the paper and online brackets. This was his payback

 

[Dahbomb]

man did you catch that aside on stream

"It's a lot of money on the line y'know"

"We can put everybody in a room and let them decide"

What the fuck am I reading?

Is this real life?


How can they fuck this up even worse now?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Music break for off-screen match correction

 

[MrDaravon]

Really enjoying my Twitter timeline right now.

Unless they come back on and say they're rolling everything back (which they won't, it's too far gone at this point for them probably) I'm out.

 

[enanogrande]

So... we assuming this long pause is them trying to figure out wtf just happened?

 

[Bogeypop]

Is that Chad Warden?

If he's the guy who fell asleep during a Resident Evil marathon on Twitch, then yes.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Those tweets reek of "I am desperate to keep my job, please understand."

The twitter also claimed everybody loves the iPad DJ. Detective-GAF has found out who's been manning the twitter account

 

[Ve1ocity]

Rofl

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It seems way too late though, would be kinda unfair to Momochi.

Also "there's no time"

 

[Trey]

this is amazing.

 

[Nuklear]

So much frigg'n downtime at this event. They could have done 3/5 easily.

 

[kirblar]

There are two solutions at this point, neither ideal.

You either re-run the brackets correctly, or you pay out to the 3 players affected as compensation. Anything else isn't fair. There are also no perfect answers, they should have stepped in long before now.

 

[Azure J]

The cover up is worse than the crime! I did not have sexual relations with that woman! Dat drama. Haha

Capcom running strong with the Shaggy defense.

"It wasn't me."

 

[Hot Coldman]

Seems like they are so incompetent again that they might accidentally leak DMC5

for full incompetence, it's made by Ninja Theory

 

[Revven]

I also heard the "everyone in a room" talk from the mic. Crazy. They must do the right thing and redo losers matches.

Yeah, seriously. It's wrong if they let it slide like this. I mean, even talk to the players about it at least and let them have a say and if they say they want to redo the matches, redo the matches. The event can afford to go a little overtime, it's not a big deal, and Capcom would look better for addressing it in the end instead of the event looking like a complete crock.

 

[Rainy]

lol i wonder if this long break is them trying to figure everything out.

The hell? So you just kept it secret from the viewers just because? Or, there is no internal bracket and someone screwed up.

 

[Kikujiro]

If he's the guy who fell asleep during a Resident Evil marathon on Twitch, then yes.

What happened to that guy, did he still stream?

 

[toddhunter]

Only one fair way to decide this.

Daigo wins.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

lol @ this event

 

[Conceited]

Only one fair way to decide this.

Daigo wins.

makes sense

 

[EarlyEarly]

It's not my money to give away but $50k in a crapshoot 2/3 tourney and wrong brackets? Bwoy I dunno

 

[GorillaWithDandruff]

anyone hear that mic chat

"theres a lot of money on the line"

"we can put everybody in a room and let them decide"

I hope they work this whole mess out. Capcom Pro Tour is guna lose a lot of respect from a lot of people if they don't.

 

[WarRock]

Rod Breslau ‏@Slasher 12s12 seconds ago
Either Capcom messed the bracket up big in their own championship event, or cant put correct brackets online in 2014. Both sound plausible.

oh my

 

[Dark Ninja]

So much frigg'n downtime at this event. They could have done 3/5 easily.

Daigo lost 20k thanks to some Ipad DJ and a shitty middle school band

Just stop.

 

[direct_quote]

Replay the whole tournament..

[Horseress]

anyone hear that mic chat

"theres a lot of money on the line"

"we can put everybody in a room and let them decide"

But their twitter says they were following a different bracket....no idea what's happening anymore, at least the matches are hype as fuck

 

[Nibel]

Oh you

Spoiler

Actually this might be real and we'll find out on Monday
