EPTPretty much. Probably my least favorite round of OSL/MSL. I don't think it'd work particularly well for TSL either.
why not swiss system for next tsl? - Page 3

Also the length of the TSL was great. | ||

Honestly, who wants to watch the ladder qualification stages? Thats pretty much what swiss system feels like. Edit: Bo7 finals sounds awesome. What an epic way to finish the thing off. Also has a nice progression of Bo3->Bo5->Bo7 | ||

Before Starcraft, I was into (Capcom) USA Street Fighter series tournament. There were so many chances for the best players with the best characters to win. Despite the amount of characters, it's gets very boring when you see mainly O.sagat (Super Turbo), Chunli (Third Strike), V-Sakura (Alpha 3) for the billionth time. Japanese tournament, however, was fast pace and unpredictable with their single match & single elimination format. That tournament, almost any character could win. edit: however to be fair, USA players had to pay a hefty fee to enter so they're getting their money's worth at least. Starcraft tournies are usually free. | ||

Oov would have only won 2 MSLs! etcetc Ah i miss double elim msl  | ||

Like starts with 4 groups of 4 then 2 groups of 4, 1 group of 4, end?I think a group system would be rather excellent. 4 groups of 4, top 2 going into quarter finals. I thought GomTV GSI last season was awsome because the website was amazing. You had all the groups set out really well with links to matches and vods (not like Avertec Intel Classic that just has the VODs with barely any info on th groups making it a pile of shit). Anyway, I for one would like a group system. Has this been done before? How exactly would first round match against second round? Anyway it doesn't sound neither as exciting neither as fair as double elimination... or not? | ||

There should be 2 groups until the R16, same as uefa EC. From R16 same as what TSL was. | ||
