My point is merely that Bo3 != Bo5, so basically now Stephano has to loose more than Polt has to, to end up 2nd(this all assuming Polt wins obv).
IMO the length of the series is irrelevant. Stop thinking of it as BO3, BO5, etc. And know that they EACH have to win two series against each other, I don't see an imbalance/advantage.

Sleep so chill. This tournament has really nice quality.
Done by college people is pretty impressive.

Thats the downside. Everything Bo3 would be fair. But then the final could be over very fast.

Well there is an advantage, even if you don't see it(if you don't, well I don't what to say about that). I just wonder if there should be, or rather if this was thought out, that the winner bracket player would have an advantage, more than just the straight up not having lost a series yet.

the winner of the winners brackets finals has to win 5 games in total, the losers' bracket finalist has to win at least 6 games, at most 7 games. the winners' bracket finalist has to win 1-2 less game to win the tournament. that's the advantage.

The other way would be to have something like a bo9 finals with the WB player start 2 games up. I know the finals of The Defense (joindota's recent dota tournament) had a bo5 series with the WB team starting one game up, and it worked out really well.

i'm not advocating anything, just explaining. the losers' bracket winner has to win more games than the winner bracket winner. that's not an advantage to you?

Its the same push he used in assembly. Reactor hellion (6) into 2 more barracks + 2nd gas + starport. He'll push with 1 marauder, ~14-18 marines and 2 medivacs and obviously the 6 hellions. While he does that he will take a 3rd base and add an ebay and 3 more barracks as well as a second factory.
With that push he is aiming to kill the 3rd.

It's a double elimination tounramnet. You lose twice and than your out. Doesn't matter at all about how long the series is.

In a DE tournament, everyone has 2 lives, doesn't matter if there's an advantage or disadvantage or not. In fact, people who lose early should be grateful because in a SE tournament they'd be out of the tournament.
