This is so confusing to me. In every other circumstance, the rules turn a second bo3 into a single bo7. So why aren't the rules here just "it's a bo7 with a 2-0 lead for the person coming from winners"?

More generally, I think "a second bo3 turns into a single bo7" is stupid, for two reasons.

It means that a match in losers, the player coming from winners has an advantage if the two players have met before, but does not have an advantage in any other situation.
It means that if idra meets huk in the grand finals, idra will have the same advantage that he would have had if they had met in a losers bracket match. (Unless I'm confused about how that will work; I'm assuming it'll just be a bo7 with the score from the earlier round rolling over. Also, if that's right, then if huk had gone 1-2 against idra earlier, he would only have to win 3 games to take the grand finals, instead of two full bo3s. So at that point, this rule actually makes it easier for the player coming from losers.)

How much do the players hear? I mean through the stream I heard a very loud cheer when the crowd saw the robo going up(and nothing was really happening else) so im just wondering if the crowd didn't give the pruxy somewhat away? :/

A lot of the cheering is I think from other games too, so it'd be hard to actually differentiate whether it was sc2 cheering.
