First in Pool play should get someone that finished 4th in their "Open Bracket", so that will likely be a weaker pro (or a good amatuer on a big run). This should avoid the Ret v Puma problem from NASL S1 Finals. - We get to watch more Boxer. - Fans get a chance to interact with the Pros more (see the number of Signings going on). - Gives content for 4 days rather than 2 or 3. And avoids the MLG 2010 problem, again. - Single Elimination for Championship bracket, as they don't have time to air a Double Elimination over 2 days, without doing 4 streams at once. - Let's players get over the "Jet Lag" problem, as if they biff their Pool, they still have a full run to the Finals available to them. It makes sense for what they want to do. Especially since everyone in the Top 32 wins 1k. A 1st in Pool is practically assured 2k. Not to mention the point of E-sport tournaments is to entertain the fans, and what better way of entertaining nerds than games with great players on a big stage? | ||

Just look at the open bracket finishes from the most recent MLG (Raleigh), which was fairly similar to the IPL3 open bracket in terms of good players :Seeds are pretty random anyway. It's not like you are guaranteed an easier opponent if you work your ass of to win the pool. They're not absolutely meaningless but I if you wanna do well, you have to be able to beat whoever comes against you in the bracket anyway. I'm sure the players don't take any pressure from the pool play matches. 13-16th : rsvp, Lost, Cruncher, wbc 9-12th : HwangSin, PainUser, KawaiiRice, ostojiy 5-8th : Drewbie, Orly, DeMuslim, Tyler 1-4th : Puma, Trimaster, Hero, Noblesse I don't know about you, but wbc seems less intimidating than Puma as a first opponent in a single-elimination bracket... | ||
