Cant believe theres so much hate in these threads while we're so blessed with a wonderful event, with wonderful games. Last warning, whine and insult the players or commentators? See you.

not getting everyones criticism of the 2 best of 3 rule. its a double elim tournament, so why should MVP get knocked out by only losing once, when MMA has already lost once?


Because people are stupid.


I'm glad MLG actually does it right. Other tournaments don't get it right, like that recent Verizon tournament.


Don't get me started ):

Seriously, MVP gets a far too big privilege with this format.

But MMA might just pull it off...


he deserved it. He's undefeated so far.



If he's playing so great anyway why should he be given a massive leg up against any challenger? In a regular Bo7 MMA might lose the first 2 games and still win the series, but no here.

Oh well, time to watch anyway

It's a very simple concept guys. MMA got knocked down into the loser's bracket so he lost a Bo3. MVP has rode the entire winners bracket to the Grand Finals so he still has 2 Bo3's remaining. It's 100% reasonable that he would be able to carry that over with him and have an advantage for playing perfectly for the entire MLG.
Fruitdealer proved that balance didn't stop good players from making good decisions. Balance whining only makes it acceptable to your mind for you to lose, which is ultimately unacceptable.

It's such a shame that MMA can lose a game to one other person in his group, and that automatically means that if he has to then take the long way (relative to MVP) that he still has the disadvantage. No matter what, championships will always be strongly in favor of one player over another. I would love a bo7 finals, and to just leave it at that.

wait so MMA is down 0-2 in a BO7? T_T

no, but since MVP never lost, he didnt get to use hsi 2nd chance like everyone else did, if u understand.

everyone else got knocked into the losers bracket, mvp didnt, so he must lose twice

Down 0-2 on a Bo7 is the same sa 2 Bo3s. MMA has to win 4 games before MVP wins 2.

Do people really not understand double elimination? MVP never lost yet so of course he is allowed to lose 1 bo3 to send him to the "losers" bracket.

What?! When KiWi and NaNi played wasn't it a straight up best of 7?

So if the stupid, albeit necessary, extended series rule doesn't take effect, they make you have to win two best of 3's rather than an EPIC best of 7???? They already talked about how hard it has been for MMA while MVP gets to watch, study, and rest.


Nani and Kiwi already played once and Nani won. Same thing happened with MMA vs Losira at columbus

How do so many people not know how a standard double elimination format works by now.


We know how it works that doesn't make a potential 2 game finals any less anticlimactic.

wtf is up with this format. It should just be a Bo7


It's double elimination.

MMA has been eliminated once so far.

MVP hasn't been eliminated yet.

MMA has to be eliminated one more time.

MVP has to be eliminated two more times.


Thank you for helping to sprinkle logic and reasoning. People do not understand that loser's bracket needs extended series to make sense.

And Loser's bracket is awesommmmmme.


it's not extended series

Why are people whining over the elimination set up? MMA is getting a second chance, so of course MVP will have the benefits. How the hell would it be fair if he lost straight up in one set?

What a retarded format for the finals.. it is really a buzz killer to give so much advantage to one player.... in this case MVP.


Are people this stupid? How do people not understand the concept of DOUBLE ELIM. MVP has not lost why should he be on even terms... damn man.

MMA doesn't have to win 2 bo3s. He needs to win 1 bo3 first. Then he starts the extended series (bo7) with the lead he got from the bo3.

MVP needs to either win the first bo3 or then win the extended series bo7 while behind.
