hahaha. oh man. The admins have 0 clue how to run a TCG tournament If they have ipads, easily B03 Swiss Rounds, 6 Rounds(if 128 or less players) cut to the top16. Ideally for fairness sake, they should cut the the top32 and continue on to find the top4. Its not hard dreamhack, stop getting SC2 admins to run Hearthstone. Its not the same thing. Will not pay my way to sweden for 2 coinflips. | ||

Swiss is best for competitors(since you are playing a card game) and since it is a live-event people will not be inclined to drop-out of the tournament like they do in online swiss tournaments. You can improve now and just change the format, absolutely nothing changes. lol. | ||

Seems like a great format to me.I understand that as a player you would prefer swiss format but this is way better for the viewers,more exciting and still fair. | ||

How is it more exciting/better for viewers? Its a tournaments its about the players. Swiss allows for people who are good but have bad luck still get through. A B03 Swiss will get the best players through, rather than the lucky good players. In Swiss, 128+ tournament, you can go 0-2 to 5-2 and still make top cut(however many rounds you have) If it is a BYOC(which it seems) there seems to be no reason why they cannot do swiss other than bad admining. | ||

It is more exciting because every match is important.Since it's double elim you get 2 chances which is fair and it also guarantees that the best players will advance.Of course there will be upsets but that's fine,it's a card game. | ||

Note: To participate in the live qualifier at DreamHack Summer 2014 you need to have a computer seat BYOC ticket & bring your own computer or laptop. The group stage and single elimination playoffs is played in a tournament area on iPads provided by DreamHack. | ||
