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 !!

GO KIWIKAKI! REPRESENTIN CANADA + WC3 PLAYERS!

Im pumped. Seeing three Protoss in the finals gives me some great replays once they are out, good to see Protoss's putting up good results in one region/tourney at least. Socke has been my favorite euro player since beta so great to see him come back (I was sad when he lost to drewbie)

If you went 2-0:
In a double Bo3, the loser bracket player could win 4-0, 4-1 or 4-2.
In a Bo7, the loser bracket player could win 4-0 or 4-1.

If you went 2-1:
In a double Bo3, the loser bracket player could win 4-0, 4-1 or 4-2.
In a Bo7, the loser bracket player could win 3-0 or 3-1.
