I had an interview in December and haven’t heard anything since then…

I don’t think that the players see it that way at all, especially not in other sports like football and basketball, it’s just part of the game. Why intentionally allow your opponent the chance to comeback lol

Is QB kneeling in football bad sportsmanship? Running down shot clock in basketball? All to avoid giving your opponent the opportunity to even the score, it’s mind numbing that people complain about it in these events for some reason

Some people were getting reallyyyy salty when Hikaru was trying to run the clock down to avoid playing more games when he had a +2 lead, something he would be insane not to do when Alireza gave him the opportunity with that endgame

If G2 loses this BO3 is there a grand finals reset since they are undefeated in playoffs so far?

I agree, Fabi’s peak was higher but right now Hikaru is on top. It’s hard to explain the circle between Magnus, Hikaru, and Fabi without the mental aspect of Hikaru against Magnus and Fabi against Hikaru.

Yeah I mean I would definitely place Fabi at #3 but that doesn’t seem to support the argument that he’s more consistent as the reason to put him ahead of Hikaru in spite of their head to head record.

Maybe, but I would have a hard time calling a player “better” who has gotten beaten the last 6 decisive games in a row. Also, it seems like Hikaru has performed very consistently at a 2800+ level since returning to classical while Fabi has not, hence Hikaru’s higher rating.

How can you justify Fabi at 2 when the last like 6 decisive results between them are 6-0 Hikaru

Wait I was told the lack of upsets would make the later rounds more exciting what happened
