It does seem as if they should judge time, because some time zones can never win worlds first because they get the content later than everyone else. <br /><br />So it should be judged time for access to the content. Not just first. If someone gets worlds first because they got the content a day earlier, it is not really a first.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-24444915635561711912012-08-07T05:41:10.581-04:002012-08-07T05:41:10.581-04:00There are many things to factor.

Maybe they had better RNG in some elements overall. Maybe the timezone favored the team better and they were less tired. Who knows. I don't think you can say the second team was better just based on number of tries. Besides, this isn't about the fastest kill or the best kill by whatever standards, this is about being first. And first is first.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173436197557929355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-18929161596355565152012-08-06T06:40:06.197-04:002012-08-06T06:40:06.197-04:00Good example there with the tortoise and the hare....Good example there with the tortoise and the hare.<br /><br />I still thought it was an interesting question and wonder if stuff like that should be put into consideration, at least when it is that close of a race.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-34681738095685868632012-08-04T09:04:42.116-04:002012-08-04T09:04:42.116-04:00Anon, Grumpy's GL:

Second did it more efficiently, but still came in an hour or so later. The race to world first doesn't ask it be done in a specific number of time, so while the second place team were and or are probably a better team, they didn't exhibit it by starting first so their more limited number of tries had the desired effect. Truly, this is a tortoise and hare race you you are proposing, with the hare being the second team. Yes, they are faster, but no, they didn't cross the finish line first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
