The idea behind the format is to narrow down 4 teams to 2 and then pit the finalists against each other in a Bo5. I find it funny how no one ever complains that formats going from group stage to bracket don't perfectly respect all the results that happened in group stage beyond seeding. That is, you can finish above someone in groups and have no advantage over them in the bracket phase (except seed). Seed advantage is often very weak.

So here a double elim bracket was used to solve the problem of "we have 4 teams but we only need 2" and once it did that, the finals were played. Group stage before bracket is the same thing but with different numbers.

It's so the finals mean more on their own. If one side has an advantage going into the finals, the finals are cheapened when that side wins. This avoids that. It's a compromise between having a real finals or having a tournament with memory.

Ah the usual QQ. Just ignore it, great tournament well done TB! Next time host a 1v1 tournament with forced random race. Less random, more fun to see which players can play which.

And to everyone complaining about fairness in a Random Monobattles Tournament, please slap some sense into yourselves.

yea but sometimes when its really unfair, its just borin and pointless
like the last game where you roll double HT infestor. No matter what the last unit is, unless the people you vs are retarded (which liquid arent) theres no way to win. Also nony getting collosus twice wasnt exactly fair, but its always fun to see 20 collosus rape 20 infestors before they get the chance to unburrow
