the savior option makes it so that people wont answer it "truthfully"

but of course it makes things more interesting and could possibly be true.

"Savior's been in a slump" lmao, wanted to vote for that but the truth is the Removal of the double-elim format. There should be an international law prohibiting serious money tournaments for any sport to be single elimn.. seriously :>

It's the whole affair with the loser's brackets, is it not?

That is, if you lose in your first match, you're in some kind of loser's limbo, where you challenge the other losers. The top loser challenge the top winner (winner gets a free win) for the whole thing.

EDIT: Sample bracket here (from 2003 Stout MSL.)

I don't like double-elim tournaments... It seems to give the player from winner's bracket too much momentum.

I'd say the removal of the double-elim is probably the biggest reason why it's so hard to have consistent people in the play-offs season after season.

Truthfully removal of the double elim format, means that any upsets which happen become final without the upset player having any chance at still winning.

But savior is in a slump is too funny to resist.

rofl, autovoted

though imo its more of the lack of all-around perfect players and the more of one or two mu sniping players that are constantly sniping each other off of the top. need new bonjwas

There should be a vote for parity.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

I think it's because the quarterfinals aren't played in one sitting. It gives chances to players that can't play a series in one sitting prepare for the next game. It kinda takes away the essence of mentally preparing yourself for the next game based on the little you got to see on the replay (they're allowed to view it right?). So what happens is a strong series player gets beat by a weak series player, and the weak series player isn't used to playing a Bo3 in one sitting, if he isn't used to it, then more or less he's screwed in the Bo5.

While writing all those stuff, I just remembered that the OSL does the same thing I think. They only play one game in the quarterfinals then they continue with the 2nd and possibly 3rd. But yeah, screw it, I forgot.

Which makes me think if the OSL also changed format or is BoxeR just way too good to win 2 OSL's consecutively, uhm, BoxeR is just too good.
