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.

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


Ok Ill give you that. It is still loser's/winner's tradition.

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.


No...in 2 Bo3's MVP can win 2 games and still lose the entire series(the 2 wins would have to be consecutive).

No, the 2 wins would have to be one in each bo3

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 ):


There are many ways to do this, and I have played a lot of pool tournaments that do it differently.

One of the obvious arguments is that the price for being knocked down is that you have to play more games (potentially many more games) to reach the final. Therefore you have already paid your debt before the final and should start on equal footing.

The other and much, much more entertaining (edit: than the win 2xbo3 thing) way of doing it is the middle road. Give MVP 1-0 in a bo7 for instance.

People don't cheer as loudly for mvp and are now complaining about him having 2 chances for being undefeated? You guys are all fucking haters. Show some respect for the best fry cook in the world.

LOL at people complaining about the double elim. format :D. It's simple and lots of tournaments use it.

Lots of people going "what a stupid format". How would it be fair if everyone got 2nd chances, except for MVP? :s

I do admit it's not fun to watch though :p

Yeah, I think that's the problem. It's completely fair it just removes some of the tension.

MVP came from the winner's bracket so he hasn't lost a Bo3

MMA came from loser's bracket

so MVP starts with a 1 Bo3 advantage, thus MMA has to win 2 Bo3s while MVP just has to win 1


He has to win 2 Bo3s because he didn't get #1 in the pool. He was never actually "eliminated". Dumb rule.

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

You be trolling yeh?

Why are people complaining about the format? Of course there giving an advantage to the player who wasn't knocked out of the winners bracket! It wouldn't be fair if you could lose and then come back with an equal chance to win the entire tournament.

But this series is going to be epic, knowing what these players can do.

MVP in the booth with the mouth in full duh mode and the hat on is rather hilarious.

Format makes sense. Need to give the winners bracket an advantage.


You already get a huge advantage though by getting number one in the bracket by having far fewer opportunities to being knocked out. This way MMA is being punished twice by having to play more matches and having to win 2 bo3s.
