Guest Guest Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 From what I've read, nobody is offended, they're questioning your motives, and I see complete merit in the questioning of them. In response to Lydia, yes, HW lost points to FL, so? Almost everybody is. And a sweep over Moltara and near-sweep over Roo Island automatically means we started strong. No, it means we faced two opponents that were not too difficult to begin with. Kiko Lake has a lot of side game strength, and HW fared well against them compared to some other teams. Kiko Lake was only swept once so far, but because HW won their first too matches, they should have swept KL, but because they didn't, their unsuccessful? No, that's a load of trash. Roo Island is not an easy sweep either. You say Roo Island should have been an easy sweep because HW Moltara. Wow... no offense to MT, but that is not valid reasoning to predict a sweep over RI. Shoot, this website predicted HW losing to RI, and now you're saying that should have been an easy sweep for HW? Anyways, moving on. Same with KL, but MD hasn't even been swept. So, since HW won their first two matches, they should have easily swept MD, and because they didn't, their unsuccessful? Wrong... again. The top teams cannot sweep MD. With Shenkuu, they don't just hand out sweeps. Only the best teams were able to sweep them. MD couldn't even sweep them, and they're more than capable of doing so. Just because HW couldn't sweep them doesn't add to their claim of being "unsuccessful". Don't take this as bashing or anything, rather take this as advice. Make sure you know more about this before you attempt to back up your report with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Just to clarify one point (and we do try to make this clear): our predictions and our reports are written by different groups of people with entirely different approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That is completely understandable, bias is almost unavoidable. However, you should not let your bias degrade another team. That is what has happened here and is the reason why people are now questioning the article. In an article that many people are going to read, bias should only state POSITIVE things about a team, not negative ones with support of very low merit.
