Tb doesn't seem promising when you don't have an entire team playing around you. You're just a fat slowmoving AR wielder when the team doesn't give the disables and protecting you that you need.

also the 500 dmg absorption talent did some work in the TL vs EG game.
If you survive 50mins to get items and 25 on Aba, you have a chance of winning.

Well it is the most time-efficient format out there probably, even if it's not the best. Especially for points up for grabs at a lot of these tournaments, would be interesting to see double elim, on reflection.

nono the most time efficient is selecting winners by draw
note how time efficiency is inversely related to both number of games and quality of tournament

i like swiss system, but bo1 seems kinda meh, should be swiss with bo3

Honestly, just pick 1 format and call it a day, force it. Maybe 2 if some tournament wants to do season leagues (with n1 being champions after X number of rounds, online obviously), even if it's not the best way, in time it will be part of the scene/community and thats it.
