It is true; they really, really don't want a two game long final, fairness be damned. Holymaster more or less came out and said this in a joinDotA forum post at one point, and I guess Valve agreed.

What makes it even worse from the player point of view is that due to the best of 1 system in the lower bracket the winners are not even necessarily playing fewer games as near as I can tell, so that flimsy excuse gets chucked out the window.

I was a big fan of his list of heroes that Na'Vi can't beat including Sniper and...I forget, but there was another funny one.

i think they're just trying to ensure the finals isn't like, two quick stomps and over with. series where you end up with a team starting with a lead are anti-hype. look at every mlg until they changed to a dual bracket format

No advantage for upper bracket is waaaay better than an advantage. Seriously a final starting with a 1:0 advantage? Bullshit. Not having to play the extra games teams play in the losers is a big enough 'advantage'

The main advantage is not having to play a shitton of bo1's where you could get eliminated by "cheesy" or pocket strategy

That still is pretty stupid.

I mean let's say you lose the winner's finals. Then after you win 1 game(after losing, mind you), you're in even footing against the team you just lost to.
