Idra has to be eliminated twice, it's as simple as that. Not quite. If this were single elimination IdrA would have already won. Everyone has lost one series so far (except for IdrA). It wouldn't be fair to him if this was only a single series (whether it be BO5 or BO7). Why does everyone get a chance to lose except for him? This is just the nature of double elimination. Everyone has to lose 2 series' to be knocked out of the tournament. It is the only fair way to do it. | ||

And IdrA was the one that Kiwikaki lost to anyway, so in a way they've both knocked everyone else out of the tournament, and IdrA is current up one Bo5 on him. | ||

This was really great! Btw can anyone explain the reason for two Bo5s? One grand final and another in case kiwikaki wins? Since IdrA hasn't lost yet, he gets an advantage, meaning every player in the tournament is allowed to lose once. Not the most favored format, but if you recall MLG, it was very similiar where Naniwa being from the winners bracket was up 2-0 on Kiwikaki because they have met before and Naniwa won. But then theres the arguement that it's too big of a disadvantage because the person from the loser bracket had to play many more games. In agree but in this particular case it seems quite fair. Kiwikaki didn't have to play too many matches and he did already lose a bo5 to IdrA. What I'm curious about is if this was a sudden change or not because if you look on the IPL site, you see them announce the final as a Bo7. It was a last minute change because Kiwi was like 'd00d you realize Idra and I might have to play 14 games straight' and I was like 'Yup, now do it' and then 30 seconds later I said 'Yeah, that's a ton of games, let's do BO5'. And there's your inside look into the IPL. lol that would have been epic alex we could spend all night together watching starcraft :D just imagine what It would be like in game 11 and its already been 8 hours. | ||

It's a distraction to see posts here about that. I don't know and I don't want to know until after the Grand Finals are streamed. Great games, visuals, and casters. | ||
