It should be punishment. It's the result of already having lost to that player. Without that punishment, there would be no benefit to having not lost, or to having already beaten a player.


Even if you didn't have the extended series rule there's already disadvantages to losing. You have to play quite a few more matches (2 matches in the losers for every 1 in the winner's). If you want to win the grand finals you have to win 2 bo3 whereas the winner's bracket person only has to win 1.

If you think those aren't enough of a disadvantage then make that your position. Don't pretend there isn't any benefit at all to winning.


Again, that's part of a double elimination tournament. At least here you get a chance to return. In a place like GSL, a single elimination tournament, Tyler would already be out, and would never have had a second chance. You can't have it both ways.

Yes you can, it's called double elimination without extended series. The format is used all the time.


This is happening specifically because it is Tyler that has to fight back in the series. Were the sides switched, this argument would not have even occurred.


At MLG DC a similar situation occurred with Select against Tyler, except that Tyler won initially and Select had to fight through a ton of games in the loser's bracket. I'm pretty sure even Tyler said afterward that he thought it should have been considered a separate match despite how it gave him an advantage last time.

WB Finals :
Jinro 1/1 TT1

LB Semis2 :
TLO 0/2 PainUser
Tyler 2/1 Machine

LB Final1 :
PainUser 2/0 Tyler (BO7 ?)

Standings would be :
Top 1/3 : TT1/Jinro
Top 1/4 : Tyler/PainUser
Top 5/6 : Machine/TLO
Top7/8 : Drewbie/Ret

I'll paste and update the standings as games unfold.

People raged on this in the last MLG when it was Select against Tyler with Tyler having the advantage.

Guys, do we really need to have this same tired debate about the merits of MLG's extended series in every MLG LR thread?


I'd agree with you generally, but here it's really about that both players have lost in WB and it shouldn't matter at all if one of them has beaten the other one in WB - both have lost a bo3 and still one goes into the loser-bracket-match with a huge advantage

Makes no sense at all, quite opposed to the discussion about the extended series in the finals.

Well, back to the match, glad that TT1 won on xel naga, excited for more!

You know what I cannot understand. Colossus are essentially considered as air units in this game because of their towering height. Banshees cannot shoot air units because that is the way they are, but they are able to shoot the Collosi. Not complaining about imba or something like that, but that thought defies logic in my opinion.


They are considered air AND ground. Which is why marauders can hit them too. Just imagine hitting their legs

>double elimination
>2 players lost once each
>1 player starts with 2 game deficit

????

You can say 'yeah but he lost to him earlier' all you want, it doesn't follow logically. There would be no complaints from players if extended series was scrapped.

I love FA but I'm rooting for TT1.

Then again, FA deserves this win so much. Even though I'm rooting for TT1, I want FA to take the whole thing. Huge monkey off his back.

The argument already arose last MLG when Tyler was actually favoured by the extended series against Select.

I still think it is not fair that if Jinro had lost and played Tyler then he will have no advantage (0-0) while if PainUser lost as it is now, he starts 2-0 although both player lost in the same stage yet one will have huge advantage in the LB. Not the fairest of bracket. If they want to reward an advantage to someone who lost deeper in the WB then both should have the same advantage.

Lets drop it though. GO TT1
