si karel et drew veulent bouder pour ça, ca serait dommage, mais tant pis pour eux (même si je comprends qu'ils soient dégoutés de venir depuis très loin et de dépenser pas mal d'argent pour un cdm sans gagner de médaille dans leurs modes favoris)
in english, it would be (sorry for the litteral translation) :
if karel and drew want to sulk because of [absence of a double elim system], it would be a pity [in the meaning of "what a pity they don't come anymore"], but it never mind (even if i understand they are disappointed to come from far away and to spend a lot of money to attend to a cdm without earning a medal in their favourite modes)
so this was not meaning "i think they won t come if they aren't able to win a medal", it was more "i am sorry for them if they spend lot of time and money without being awarded by a medal, which may be frustrating"
by the way, i know you can read french so i would use more "hinted" terms to say harsh things, even if i think i always tell the things clearly without underground words. ask other people and i guess they will confirm that you didn't understand well what i have written ! and so i will accept your apologizes
i personnaly still think there is no correlation in aron's legitimity and neo's bad preformance (in your example).
i alos think that poules = league and final phasis = tournament, a bit like NBA maybe (i don't know very well NBA so i may be wrong), so it is already accurate and relevant on my opinion !
