If DRG beat MKP in the grand finals starting from 0-0, then how come MKP doesn't get his double elimination rule? It wouldn't be fair if he got eliminated by losing once. So.. extended series is pretty fair from what I see it as. I can see how people think it's unfair, but this is a double elimination tourney, keep that in mind. Extended series may be fair, but it sure as hell is not exciting. When a player wins over another player, how likely is it that the loser wins double the amount of games in the second match? I closed the stream after the Winner's Final.DRG is my favourite player and I really don't think DRG can't beat MKP, but he's not that much better to come back from behind after he had to fight another game while MKP could rest. When it was Leenock vs NaNi, that was not the same. Leenock didn't play against NaNi before, so that was exciting. | ||

To nimdil, you win an MLG then talk K. This is just as big of an event as GSL now, specially with the prize money involved. | ||

This is just as big of an event as GSL now, specially with the prize money involved. I'm not denying MLG size or prize pool although saying that MLG as as big of an event as GSL is a bit suspicious. In many ways it is, in others it still is not. However GSL and MLG are different type of event and GSL definitely requires more skill - on many different levels than MLG. The most important aspect is that MLG is weekend event so - to prepare for one - you have to focus on your play, your build orders and map pool. For GSL you know, especially after group stage, your opponent in advance and you can focus and refine your play with that specific opponent in mind. That's how OSL is and MSL was played. That's how GSL works. That's not the case for MLG. Truly - as of know - the only way to leave Kong line is to win GSL. Maybe if OnGamenet will start SC2 OSLs then we will have other StarLeague exit from the Kong Line. Still, this is great achievement for MKP and I see him as huge favorite in this GSL. | ||

How, in gods fucking name, can you be okay with that, then complain... that going to losers bracket and having to start down 2-1 is bad? I hope that you are going to every thread that has a standard elimination system and complaining that its too harsh that players who lose are eliminated. GSL is a tournmanet where people have a week to prepare a match and play once a week. MLG is a totally different tourney that involves 10+ best of 3's in one weekend. And correct me if im wrong but every tournament that is a weekend event like MLG has a losers bracket? (IPL, MLG, Dreamhack) Extended series is stupid, if you lost a game and got sent to the losers bracket then that's penalty enough for losing, if you lose again your out of the tournament. Instead of extended series in the finals they should just the person coming from the losers bracket has to win 2 best of 5s where as the winner bracket only has to win 1. Having HuK start 1-3 losing the first game and then being down 1-3 is stupid for the players and the viewers, he shouldn't be punished because he lost the day before in god dam group play. I didn't even bother watching HuK play heart after the first game of the second series choosing to instead just play a game of my self because the chances of him actually winning 3 in a row is essentially 0%. | ||

I don't see so big difference between extended series in a final and double Bo5. However extended series in the rest of the tournament is just stupid. | ||
