Im not sure why people are discussing the bo3/bo7 question right now, when the right question we should obviously be talking about is :

''Why are Canadians so imbalanced?''

Straight from MLG (right next to the video)

KiWiKaKi takes the win on Delta Quadrant with great use of Stalkers to take the series 2-0. He will be going on to face HuK in the Grand Finals in a continuation of their Upper Final match. HuK will keep his 2-1 lead as they play out a best-of-seven for the title.

I'm not sure how this is confusing so many people


It's just a bit strange because there doesn't seem to be a contingency for when the finalists haven't faced each other yet.


Yes... there is. If they haven't faced each other, they do 2 Bo3s, like normal. Guys, this is in the rules when you sign up and it's on the website as well as being explained tons in this thread.
The loser bracket winner would still get a 2nd bo3 if he lost the first bo3 in the grand finals? It seems like the winners bracket finalist should go into the grand finals with an advantage.

guy coming from losers has to win 2 bo3s, winner only has to win 1

so it's starting or?

EDIT: Okay let me explain it to all the people. Normally, in a double elimination tournament, you need to lose twice in order to be eliminated, right? So when the player from the winner's bracket plays against the player coming from the loser's bracket and loses the first Bo3, he's dropped into the loser's bracket as well. After that they play one more Bo3 for who is going to be eliminated. The one who isn't eliminated is going to win the tournament.


That makes sense and all, but MLG has made their own system(that I really hate). In it, if the players have played before in the winner's bracket, the score carries on into a Bo7. Basically this means that the player coming from the winner's bracket is going to either be up 2-1 or 2-0 in the grand final Bo7.

I personally hate this system and it's really lame how you're punished by how you did against the other player before in the tournament. I think that it should be the same double Bo3 system. It makes logical sense with the double elimination format. this Bo7 system gives the player coming from the loser's bracket a much larger disadvantage than the Bo3 system. Even though you have to win 2 of them, you begin both of the series from an even footing and have an equal chance of winning. With a Bo7 where one player begins with an advantage, you... well, start with a larger disadvantage in comparison.



That should be pretty clear !!

the community members really need to stop complaining about EVERYTHING. 105 pages is hard to go through, but seriously: SEARCH FUNCTION.

Game is fine
Games are fine
Commentary is fine
Players are fine
Brackets are fine
Event is fine.

Just for the love of god comment on the games and ENJOY IT. These tournaments are all coming in at once so it feels like we can be critical... but it will die down soon and we won't be having 35025 tournaments in a weekend. So please, just enjoy them.
We talkin about PRACTICE

QFT. Nerf please! I think Canadians should get +5 months in the womb to balance things out.

That would completely imbalance the Canadian vs European match up.

If I was at any other SC2 forum I wouldn't be surprised to see people start complaining in masses over how unfair Canadian players are.
