I dont know MSL groups. But everybody should play against everyone in that group and ties should be played out that would be much better.. Look at poor jinro having to play MK.prime and MC twice.. While MK and MC got a free win from playing rainbow.. | ||

The GSL group format is terrible though. I have no idea what they were thinking. I remember casters saying that it was the best way to rank people 1-4 in fewer games, but MSL is waaaaaay better at doing that. All this said, I don't really care what the GSL does. | ||

A full round robin is the best, although I don't know if they'd have time for the tiebreakers. | ||

If this tournament is going to have such a large prize pool, and be so prestigious, why does the format have to be SO TERRIBLE? Group format works too if every match is bo3 instead of bo1. That way one two players who could clearly both win the whole thing won't definitely get removed in ro8 (idra and jinro, for example). I really don't understand why any tournament that is trying to be serious isn't both bo>3+, AND double or triple elimination. It really makes no sense. Yes, it would take more time to do. It's worth it though with something so big. | ||

This format is still way better than a single elimination format! Best would still be a full Bo3 group format (with all players facing each other) or DE (Bo3s, Round of 16 Bo5). | ||

For me, this is completely wrong and boring (GSL 4 format - BO1 grouping). All games should be at least BO3. Bad things about the current format: 1- Some players have to be prepared against one race only while others dont. 2- Its not a complete Round-Robin 3- You dont have enough games to figure your opponent out, leaving enough room for luck and randomness This game is not like chess or tennis, because it does have surprise elements, and it should always be at least a BO3. | ||
