Well, take for example ActionJesus vs Lucifron. Had it been a BO3 Actionjesus would have won the first, but Lucifron probably wouldn't have fallen for the same thing and could very possibly have advanced.

I don't think the "It's a BO3 but the player changes" argument is valid. The player changing makes all the difference, it changes the whole scenario. You still are determining that one player should advance to the next round over another from one match between them.

Now, this wouldn't be as bad if the pool was bigger, and there were more than four people in each group, as the amount of games played by each player would increase and the likelihood of the better players advancing would increase. Players would also be disinclined to cheese as much, which is I think causing a lot of the complaints.
