Midnight Sun Midnight Sun Addicted Registered: 08/18/00 Posts: 968 Loc: layton, UT, USA	So, Canada and USA have the same record, right? The head-to-head matchup is 1-1, USA having 7-6 advantage in score, right? If the tournament ends now, you would think USA would have the gold, right? I thought in double-elimination tournaments, if a team loses their first game they get a 2nd (like that link that was posted in the sc2 thread). Why isn't there a tie-breaker game??

Winning is winning. I don't follow the Olympics and if I wanna see US v Canada on ice I'll wait for the Sabres to play any CHL team $;\)$ In conclusion... Screw the "hockey and a bunch of glorified forms of sledding" Olympics, Let's Go Sabres! Too bad no stations in TX fucking carry them... Lack of hockey in sports bars has ruined sports bars for me even though the booze is cheaper than back in NY. Football is great but I'd rather watch it at (someone's) home on a big screen and a couch. Hockey is fast and entertaining and violent and hockey fans are WAY more fun to drink with on game night. Rambling OT as usual... I miss c-m. You motherfuckers better be at least semi-active when SC2 launches, none of this b.net clan constantly disbanding from inactivity bullshit.

Trekkie Trekkie Overdosed Registered: 06/18/00 Posts: 5296 Loc: Houston, TX	Jaco: you're doing yourself a disservice then. SC2 is different enough to require new strategies and learning new hotkeys. If you have a PC or Intel Mac then just locate yourself a copy of SC2 beta and you can play versus the AI by yourself. _________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
