Doesn't sound like the cast of an elimination match of a major Because it's not an elimination match of a major, duh. Yes it is, whoever loses this set is eliminated from any chance of attending the major Exactly, if it was elimination match of a major, they would be ALREADY ATTENDING A MAJOR, dammit.
So, it's an elimination match of a qualifier, not of a major.

That means the Loser of the Winner's bracket final would potentially have 11 games tomorrow (same for all regions). Ideally they should simultaneously play the 1st two playoff games, and subsequently the loser's match and the winner's match. Guess they don't want simultaneous games in playoffs.

I'm an Ice3 fangay and I want him to qualify. I'm glad he's playing offlane again I got worried when he was listed as a support for a while there

Using china example; CDEC Y 1-2 Newbee CDEC Y 2-1 EHOME NewBee 3-2 CDEC Y
Oh forget its bo5
But still it is set out a bit better. Also you need some sort of advantage in getting to grand final via the winners bracket after all.

I still don't understand why there's even a fucking losers bracket in this qualifier to begin with. Might as well have gone all out with a bracket reset if you were gonna go full retard like this.

Yeah the bracket is from normal qualifiers where winner of winners final is 1 spot and then losers final = 2nd spot. However due to only 1 qualifier spot might as well have changed it abit.

It's a double elim for one qualification spot. That's a little weird I guess, since only one placing actually matters.

I just realised that without a wild card match valve don't have their usual excuse to invite backup teams. Maybe the 2nd placers will be backups?

Might as well have gone all out with a bracket reset if you were gonna go full retard like this. Wait what is the problem with this format? I don't like there being a losers bracket when only first place matters, it's very blatantly unfair in this format. Take Newbee for instance, they're still undefeated, and say they don't drop a single game against CDEC.Y tomorrow. Then come the finals and whoever they go up against manages to beat them. Poof, Newbee is now eliminated while having only been allowed to lose one series as opposed to two series like everyone else. It's stupid and goes entirely against the spirit of fair competition.
Seeing as this is just a qualifier too, I don't really see much of a problem with just moving the finals to a separate day for instance if you want to prevent whoever comes from losers bracket from having to play too many games.
