They want to produce more content, more games. Some people may like it but personally I don't care about matches that don't mean anything. I wouldn't be surprised to see a ton of cheese and something like 1 base bc/mothership etc. | ||

So some of those people who have travelled from so far away have played 2 maps. Here, every player who has been invited/qualified will at least play a full pool stage + 1 bracket match. Seems weird, but cool for the players and great for the viewers imo. That doesn't make sense if that's the reason...having players play 3 meaningless group matches just for the sake of them playing more games isn't that good. I'm sure IPL staff has good reasons for their format | ||

I'm also pretty sure that these games will be ridiculous, meaning that players won't be using their tactics that they have prepared. | ||

So it actually does matter. | ||

No it's not at all the same if you get first in your pool at MLG you get minimum top 6 while if you get last you get to ro32 or something while at IPL everyone gets ro32, doesn't matter where you place in the pool. | ||

But how are they deciding which seed plays which player from the open bracket? Are they seeding the open bracket, and if so, how are they going to do that? It seems like its only there to provide more content, which isn't too bad, but I doubt anyone is going to show their real builds in the group stages. | ||
