Good zerg player, I know that he came from SC2, probably played BW before that.

Nyoken is a nice guy; unfortunate that he is just to be made an example of. They really should play it back in a final set :/

Yeah, honestly in this format the grand finals should always be a best of 3 sets (bo3 bo3 format) with the person coming out of the winner bracket starting up a Bo3 set and needing to win 1 Bo3 and the person coming out of the loser bracket needing to win 2 Bo3's.

I've also seen straight up Bo5 or Bo7 grand finals with the person coming out of the winner bracket starting up 1-0 because they haven't lost a set yet. Although I personally believe the first format (Bo3 sets of Bo3) is the most fair.

Sucks for Nyoken =\. Hope he qualifies. Definitely a top 4 NA player if not top 1. Shout out to Nyoken and Kawaii whom both wrecked me. GG's all, was fun.

2 Series final in double elim is definitely the most fair. However, it isn't the best viewer experience. I actually think that a single series final is better for viewership because there is more riding on each of the games. With that being said, I was a little bit disappointed because the bracket said there would be 2 series and it ended up being only 1.

WB advantage just leads to the WB player winning most of the time. (again, fair, but is that really want everyone wants to see?)

I think as long as the information is communicated before the start of the tour, there will be less confusion and disappointment.
Being mannered is almost as important as winning. Almost...

I totally understand, but from what I was told, the players agreed to one BO5 including Nyoken. Casters and Admins were able to confirm this agreement. Nyoken, however, believed that he had agreed to a double elim, if he lost he'd have a chance to play back from losers, but this was not the case. It was understood as just one BO5 to decide the WINNER.

Again, this was an unfortunate misunderstanding between all parties. Moving forward, all matches will be played and players will not have the ability to choose if they can alter the brackets, even if they both agreed.

We're going back to the original, double elimination; regardless, if players make an agreement to play any less.

We're going with Double elim for sure (If loser finalst wins 1st set). In terms of the loser set in GF I will have to check with Battlefy. Will update as soon as I get word.



Update/Edit 10/19 : We've worked out the details GF is now Double Elim - Bo3. If the winner bracket player loses, he will play another BO3. We've changed it to BO3 in order to help minimize the stress a tournament can put on all players.

Tourney started at 3pm, i played my 1st match and had to wait until 6pm to play my 2nd match ^^. Basically 1 match delayed the entire tournament for several hours because they started late. God knows why they were allowed to play their match in the first place.
