But what if MC wins the second time? Idra-MC 0-2. [Bo3] Idra-MC 2-2 total Idra has won twice and MC has won twice. Wait, they're even. Why is MC advancing? See the logic? Ok, now do it with the extended series rule. Idra-MC 2-0. [Bo3] Idra has won twice. Idra-MC 2-0. [Bo7 Idra 2-0+] Idra-MC 4-0 total Idra has won four times. Ok. And again, what happens if MC starts winning in the best of 7? Idra-MC 2-0. [Bo7 Idra 2-0+] Idra-MC 2-4 total Idra has won two times. MC has won 4 times. MC won more, so he deserves to advance. | ||

No excuses, but it was just less than one would expect from him. Late with ffs, didn't finish off the hatch in 2nd game, moved the immos to stupid place. Taking 4 games without loosing 2... is however doubtful with idra playing this well. MC hasn't been "himself" for the last several weeks. He's in a slump. Some of his strongest timings have sortof been figured out in terms of the current meta game, and like many other players (MVP for instance) he's struggling a bit as he adapts. He's still a great player, and Idra played perfectly, this wasn't a game that MC lost, Idra was phenomenal. | ||

As an added benefit if the loser of the first match wins a game, that game carries over into the second set i.e. Idra > MC: 2-1 Now they play again using extended series, except they carry their scores over, so MC carries his win over i.e. Bo7, Idra v MC rematch, score is currently 2-1 | ||

Who cares if ManU goes 4-0 first match of the season to Chelsea. If they lose 1-0 second match it's still a loss. If they want to make it less ridiculous, they shouldn't make it a bo7, it should just be a deciding match, if the first loser wins the second series. | ||
