The whole playoffs were not to pick the winner. It is to pick the top 2 teams who will play in a grand final. It's a 2 separate stage in the tournament. So there are actually 3 stages in the tournament which is groupstage, playoff, grand finals.Each stage is separate. Teams who did better in group stage didn't start with a 1-0 advantage in the playoff as well despite winning more games. | ||

I think that it should be a Bo7 with Alliance having a 1 game advantage. That way we have 3-6 games, so only 1 more than now, with just 1 possibility for that. "No one likes advantages", well how about the advantage that Na'Vi is still in the tournament after losing a series? | ||
