I really don't feel like there's a huge incentive to win the group stage. Single elim playoff bracket puts everyone on such equal footing that it doesn't really matter if you're top seed or not. I'd rather they just cut out the group and put back in double elim

Well actually swiss format does provide some incentive. If you win (1-2 spot) you fight one less series and you are seeded on the opposite side of the bracket from the other top spot

i dont think it was possible for void to hit sufficiently good chronos if TNC just stayed positioned well

their multiple force staff saves just ensured chronos didnt have huge impact

It's actually a reliable way of seeding compared to round robin group stages.

Then you realise seeding is completely worthless anyway once you win ro16 and go into ro8 and meet comparable teams. So all that seeding just for 1 bo3. Just give double elimination.
