The explanation given by the IPL staff made a lot of sense for me : NASL got people to come from all around the world, and get knocked out after 1 BO3. 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. then at least copy the MLG bracketsystem. It would at least give the players a reason for playing their best. Well a lot of people (myself included) have criticized how unfair the MLG brackets are regarding the open bracket players. I prefer having everyone starting on an equal ground for the bracket. The perfect system for me would have a lower bracket though, because I love epic lower brackets run | ||

They'll need to get the best possible seed in the bracket. | ||

They'll need to get the best possible seed in the bracket. But players aren't gonna show their builds tht they've prepared for months to get a better seed in a bracket. I hope the matches will be good, but there is very little on the line here. If the players can hide their builds until it really matters, giving them the best chance of winning the tournament, they will. | ||

Us having more awesome matches to watch. It is a bit redundant; I agree, but so many players travelled over there and so I think it is really good to see more matches of them - even if group play is more or less a warmup. | ||
