So how do the grand finals for each bracket work ? Is there any advantage for the winners bracket finalist or is it just a straight up bo3 ?
Yeah I have asked it multiple times and never got a response sadly.
But it doesn't look like you do which doesn't make sense judging from how other double elimination tournaments work.

Somebody told me its 2 bo3's...it'll be an accomplishment just to get games though group 8 has been a huge shitstorm of vicious walkovers and guys not showing and misreported matches...fml

Ah I think like every group has had lots of walkovers, I know in group 5 there has been plenty of walkovers as well 
|
where are brackets and stuff? i'm confuseddd!

After today the actual ro32 starts on monday which I am pumped for ^^. I imagine they will cast all the replays as its only 16 games of replays instead of like 500

Thanks to this awful format, this tournament has about a sixth of its Ro64 slots filled with "known" players. Idra even tried playing a few matches and then just got walked over twice. I hope other tournament organizers take a lesson from this terrible format.

wait what I thought Idra was in the finals of his group?
Motbod do also note though that Idra is going to be in europe for the next 2 weeks? The actual tournament starts next monday and goes - friday and I imagine its at a bad time for eu and with idra playing in dreamhack then that mable cup I don't think he'd have time to play in this anyway. So maybe he FF'd on purpose.

I dont mind the format, its just a bit time consuming. Alot better than a 16 or 32 man invitational where players like me have 0 chance of being invited. or a 1 day single elim bo1 marathon.
I just need to pull out a miracle and take my group from the losers bracket in 15 minutes.

The idea behind it is good. However the scheduling is terrible. This doesn't have the prestige built around it to warrant it being drawn out for almost 2 weeks (for just the preliminary portion).
3 days, potentially 4 is all that this should take. (i.e 1 for winners bracket played through, 2 for the losers, plus an extra day for the finals if you want it.)

yeah one match a day is too few it should be in chunks of 3 or 4 rounds a day.
Now I'm waiting for my bracket finals and the guy isn't even around....sigh he played losers finals then logs off? Maybe he didn't realize there were actually 2 rounds tonight..

O_O i got w.oed twice cause 1 match per day is quite bad ;o

Not knowing the format though does cause some problems. I just finished my bracket finals with iSjecho and ended up losing 4-3 with me winning the first bo3. If the rules are 1 bo3 technically i win but the assumed 2 bo3's means jecho wins. Even if it turned out to be simply 1 I would never take the win away from Jecho since we agreed on it, but it's def frustrating not exactly knowing.

well at least your honorable . Honestly it should be 2 bo3's for loser bracket finals but unfortunately they didn't clarify and its not in the rules either :/.
