Starting the grand finals 0:0 the only team who hasn't a second chance is the best team prior to the grand final. In my opinion it should be: the team coming from the winner bracket has to win one bo3, the other team has to win 2 bo3s. It's anticlimatic and maybe boring but the correct way of playing the format in my understanding. That absolutely is the correct format for playing it. I also don't think it's anticlimacting, bracket reset is an incredibly exciting event. | ||

Need to start forcing everyone to watch at least one fighting game tournament or something. Classic double elimination just works, I don't know why we have so many problems with it. | ||

Not to mention double elimination has a potential second Bo5, there's no advantage in the first Bo5. No, I agree with you. What if say LGD beats iG in winner's final, then iG beats whoever in LB final. LGD are not rewarded at all for initially beating iG, it is not relevant to LGD if iG are better than whoever is in LB final. They deserve a one game advantage, screw whatever people think is exciting. There is a ton of money at stake here. | ||

Perhaps Grand Finals with BO3 would be feasible in this case... | ||
