Re: We was robbed!!!

People are human and they make mistakes. At that, Mr. Sparks already explained what happened in the Lone Star thread.

NO! I disagree completely. We both agree with the first part of your statement, but as for the second you are completely wrong. Call me crazy, but I believe in the butterfly effect. I believe that every insignificant move I make has some effect upon something else, etc, etc. That being said, it doesn't matter whether you had a superior alliance or not, it is the fact that you won THAT match in that point in time and that should have let you go on. Similar to the SVR controversy, it doesn't mean that they had the superior/inferior alliance, it just means that they lost.

As Murphy as my witness, things happen and will continue to happen. Even if team 0000 beat team 9999 in two matches consecutively it doesn't mean they are a 'superior' alliance. It just means they won two matches. ... Back to the butterfly effect. What if they won that match and went on the become regional champions? You can't say "if you were superior then you should have won" because stuff happens.
