This cant be changed but without the extended series Jinro would in best case only have to win 2 to 4, instead of 2 to 3. Yes. It doesn't make any sense and can't be like this... there must be something mixed up. What's mixed up is the missing second Bo3 because in DE format you must lose 2 sets to get knocked out. However, they probably think being disadvantaged in one extended series and having to win another Bo3 after that would be too rough for the LB player. Maybe it's time to realize their format sucks then, if they can't follow it correctly? | ||

I hope they revise these rules for the next tournament, the entire extended series rule just seems weird and overly complicated. They don't take games played in previous tournaments into account, why should they take games played in pevious rounds into account? | ||

You have to win more games than your opponent. The order of matches or when they take place does not matter. More games! Understand how that works? 3 is greater than 2. 4 is greater than 3. Pretty damn simple. The winner is the one who wins the most games against the other player. Tis not the point - it's the fact that the person who gets the advantage in the LB gets an advantage over every other player in the LB that is facing someone that they didn't face in the WB. More people are unfairly affected by the existence of the extended series rule than by it's elimination. For the greater good (and all that jazz.) Good point but he has a point too. Getting knocked out by someone who you won more games from can be considered unfair. | ||

I thought this was funny that's not the complaint dude... /facepalm the complaint isn't that it didn't give jinro a "bigger advantage" it's that it gave him a SMALLER advantage than he would have if the rule simply didn't exist. | ||

The extended series rule is 100% fair... whether or not they want to use it is a different story. But there's certainly nothing more fair/unfair about it than without the extended series rule. How is it 100% fair? Please explain your reasoning. As I view it , it is very unfair for any player that does not face the same opponent in LB as in WB. I'm sure everyone would love to have extra chances. If we ignore all past results then that would mean for the sake of consistency you'd have to remove the winner bracket's champion having an advantage over the loser's bracket, no? If not, why draw the line there and not simply for beating an earlier opponent? Why does that logic apply there but not later? The difference there is that the player from the WB has never been eliminated from the tournament, whereas the LB has been eliminated once. In order to be taken out of a double elimination tournament, you should be eliminated twice. Then why play double elimination? Why not make it single elimination to remove all problems that stem from these arguments? Their system punishes losers. Lost to somebody earlier? Punishment, better step your game up. Find yourself in the losers bracket? Punishment, better step your game up. MLG likes to favor winners. Cause double elimination without extended series in LB makes perfect sense. PainUser lost 2-1 to Jinro in WB, he "lost" 2-1 in LB to Tyler. He's still in the tournament. This is what you're calling 100% fair. lol, how is this shit hard to understand? There is no fair answer to this question. It doesn't exist. The only difference is I'm smart enough to look to other problems that come from the alternative method of double elimination. I honestly don't favor one way or the other. They both make sense and they both have strengths/weaknesses. You are looking for an answer to a question that nobody cares about. They both had one loss and should be out after the second loss. It is not fair to the other players that painuser is still in the tournament after two eliminations, just because he happened to meet Tyler again. How hard is this concept to grasp? I understand your complaint. Let's say Tyler had won their second meeting 2-1 and eliminated Painuser. Their final record for the tournament is Painuser beating Tyler 3 games and losing 2. It's fair that with a winning record he is eliminated? Neither is perfect. Deal with it. I'm done posting on this subject since I've wasted way too many lines of text trying to explain the obvious answer of "you can't please everybody", but apparently people think you can. ps: Go TT1 Every rule, stupid or not, can be explained with "you can't please everybody" ![]() But let us enjoy the finals. It just seems like they should be on equal footing, I mean when Tyler lost that first series that's what sent him to the LB, Painuser also lost a series which sent him to the LB why should series be accounted for and the other not? | ||

It's more like Jinro has a smaller advantage because TT1 managed to take a game off of him in the tournament already. Aight wrong word used here I guess. He has a smaller advantage from WINNING 2-1 earlier then if he had not met him at all. Doesnt make it less ridiculous though ![]() | ||

Usually its two best of 3's (if the player coming from LB wins the first one) Now its one extended Best of 7 with scores taken over from the game already played and a best of 3 (if the player coming from the LB wins first one) or an extended Best of 7 with scores taken over from the game already played? | ||

This cant be changed but without the extended series Jinro would in best case only have to win 2 to 4, instead of 2 to 3. It isn't necessarily a disadvantage. Let's say he wins the first game now, then loses the next two. In a non-extended format he would lose that first bo3 and they would move to the 2nd where he would have to win 2 more. In this format, he can still go ahead and win just one more game and win the whole thing. | ||
