So it's basically a bo3 against your group, if you win 2 you advance, if you lose 2 you're out. Plus if it happens to end up with two players 2-0 and two players 0-2 they play for 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th.

and srsly the system is so gay, Best 1-1 Polt and Best advances, doesnt sound fair. Why dont they just use double elimination ?

Are you advocating extended series?

Actually yeah, the should just do the normal swiss style groups where winners play and losers play and then the two with 1 win 1 loss play to see who gets the final spot. Much simpler, but you would use extended series on the last game to make it fair.

Actually what I want is if a group goes 2-0 1-1 1-1 0-2 then two players who are tied 1-1 in the group stage that the player who won the meeting between the 1-1 players should be 2nd in the group with the other placing 3rd.

This is the only flaw I have with their group system. If it goes 2-0 2-0 0-2 0-2 then you have the 2-0 vs 2-0 for 1st/2nd and the 0-2 vs 0-2 for 3rd/4th.

If it goes 1-1 1-1 1-1 1-1 then you will end up 2-1 2-1 1-2 1-2 with clear tiebreaks.

It's just the 2-0 1-1 1-1 0-2 that they screwed up.

TvT is so boring to watch especially since tasteless was not casting made it hard to get excited.

Agree with this. Its a bit weird how they ended up like this
