This isn't a great format imo.

Bo1s? Group stage that isn't completely round robin within the group? What the heck.
True skill comes without effort.

Just going to quote my own post for all people confused about this tourney.

Show nested quote +

If after 2 Playdays there are 2 players who has won 2 games (meaning 2-0) then they both proceed to Ro16 but they will still play eachother in playday 3 to determine group rankings. So it will be a full round robin in thise case.

If only 1 player has won 2 games and 2 players are at 1-1 then the players with 1-1 will proceed to play again in playday 3 making it an effective Bo3.
The player that loses the first 2 games is automatically 4th and is demoted to Up and Down matches for Code S next Season and does not need to play according to the explainations in the first original post.

Third scenario is if there are all 4 players who are 1-1 then the remaining matches will be played against eachother who hasn't faced eachother making it a normal round robin group again.


Thank you for that post, and thanks for quoting it.

But damn, that's such a terrible format. Oh my god. We need to complain...

A question, is this correct?

If Polt wins, then in this "5rd" match then he will advance since he won 2-0 in the Bo3 between Polt/TheBest

If TheBest wins, then there will be a "6st" match as they will be 1-1 in the Bo3 between them (even if TheBest will be 2-1 overall and Polt 1-2 overall)?

No.
It's 1-1 now actually just that Polt's loss came from NesTea.
So the 5th match determines the 2nd place in Group A for the person to advance to Ro16.

It makes sense because its how it is pronounced if you don't abreviate it.

Why not just straight round robin? That'd be nice and simple...

With this and extended series, are tournaments TRYING to confuse/ annoy?

Why can't they choose a more normal format -_-

Also why did Maka play Nestea? Winner vs loser makes no sense.

That would technically be an extended series since this is double elimination. Funny that people want it now and didn't before.

I wonder why they don't let Tastosis check their Engrish before they embarass themselves even more.

Also it should be round robin imo. It's just one match more for each of the players so why not go with that?

I think that they're not doing round robins to specifically avoid having deadlocks (eg 1 3/0 and 3 1/2s). I agree with you, though. There seems to be to much luck in your draw, Polt has to beat TheBest twice because he drew against NesTea and lost whereas TheBest only has to beat Polt once because he drew against Maka and won. Obviously winning > losing, but winning vs Maka is easier than winning against NesTea.

Its to cut down in matches for the casters to cast and viewers to watch.

The logic is probably:

- The winners of first games should have a chance to get 2-0 and just advance.
- This format avoids three-way ties.
