Thinking jjakji is going to take the whole thing. If it plays out like in the winners bracket then creater should have a rematch with jjakji and lose to him again.

Rooting for HerO, but he'll go to Vegas anyway, and so will Creator, so Jjakji winning this is fine too. I just hope there will be great games

Go Jjakji! Hero and Creator are going anyway, so Jjakji is most deserving of this win.

So....ya, since creator and hero are already going, does jjakji kind of default win? (for the trip ofc, money will be given accordingly)

Or does that mean that if Hero or Creator won that they would just get a free trip and would mean less cost to the team, who can then use that ticket for someone else?

Jjakji for the win! Would be so cool if Jjakji was crowned IPL4 champion.

Imagine the outcries from all the HerO fans in the world if we had Extended Series in this tournament.

No Jjakji still needs to win. If Hero wins, his trip is paid for, but he's going regardless, along with his entire team. Creator's trip is already paid for, but I suppose he could win one of his teammates an Open Bracket spot perhaps. Basically the second possibility you said.

Jjakji has the most to gain from this tournament.

Come on Jjakji, one more series to do this!

Would suck so hard for the one player left not already going to lose out ><

He looked very solid all the way through to this point too.
