think take said the playoffs will be bo5, but might've been changed. bo5 double elimination surely takes a lot of time
. according to readmore it'll be bo3 as well, so seems like you're correctHomeStoryCup III - Day 3 - Page 9

Extended series is adding on the score of the previous game into a new one, it doesn't really concern giving WB winner advantage over LB winner, so people talking about extended series are focusing on the wrong thing. I think this format unfairly penalizes the WB winner though. The LB winner than he should have, since the WB doesn't have a Bo3 cushion. By playing a Bo5 with WB up 1-0, the WB wins if he wins 2, which is fine, but the LB only needs to win 3 instead of the 4 that he should need to win. The WB winner is obviously still better off than the LB winner, but a 1-0 reward is less than everyone else in the tournament gets, since they get to start another Bo3. The WB winner shouldn't be given a lesser "cushion" just because he is skilled enough to not have needed one going into the final. I understand why they do it, because winning 2 Bo3 in a row is very hard, so it builds more excitement in viewers and such, but at the same time, it kind of gives me a bad feeling. I won't say it de-legitimizes the tournament because it obviously doesn't, but it seems a little unfair for the players, and catering maybe too much for the viewers. | ||

On day 2 most people eliminated day 1 were back so don't see why today would be different. Many will probably just rock up later in the day though. It's a sweet event so why not come back support team, friends or just watch. Most of their travel arrangements home aren't likely till be after the event. | ||
