Epic fail. Bo3 is way too short.

Socke won 2 very short and onesided games on Meta and Xel Naga. Cloud was a little greedy on Meta and lost to a 5gate push after expand from Socke. On the second Map Socke played a Phoenix-opening into expand, Cloud played 1 Rax reactor FE into 3rax timing push, Socke saw it, addes more Gateways, defended with nice Forcefields, pushed afterwards and won

Gratz Socke!

Dunno why they did Bo3 double-elim format with 4 players. Seems kinda silly. Might as well do Bo5 Semi finals on the first day and Bo7 finals on the second day, or even Bo7 the whole way through.

Their plan is to broadcast every single match. A double-elimination and BO5/7 could take a ridiculously long time if matches go all the way to the 5/7th game. They were already running behind schedule yesterday. This would have only made it worst.

Not double elim, just standard single-elim, Bo5 semis, Bo7 finals, would have been better. 3000 Euros shouldn't hang on a best-of-3, double-elim or not.

I'm not a huge fan of double elim anyways. Mainly because there is no real Grand Final. One player has an advantage going in to the finals? That's never gonna be really epic..

With Doulbe elimination you need 5 Bo3 matches to get to the finals. Otherwise its 2 Bo5 till finals + maybe a Bo5 for 2nd place. In any case its a maximum of 15 maps played.
Timewise it doesnt really make a difference. They were running behind schedule because their schedule was bad and they wasted a lot of time for promotions and chatter in between the different games.

2 Bo5 and one Bo7 would've been better I guess. With 4 players in a finals tournament you really don't need double elimination in my opinion.

Games yesterday were great though, whether double elim or not.

50 or 80€ per game won during the season. Not quite sure about the amount. Prizemoney penalties from players are usually evenly distributed among all the other players, so I guess Naniwa's money is distributed as well.
