Of course there has been "some" downtime. =/ Commercials between every match, long delays between sets even though there are 4 booths (2 for the current match, 2 for players on deck to set up in), and some horrible long promotional contest before the last game for losers finals. Thanks for the update. Still, sounds better than having surprise LoL finals before the SC2 finals. xD | ||

This is a crux of double elimination, but you can't just give everyone a shot at double elimination except for the player who performed the best in the tournament. If you don't want the double Bo5 finals then I'm fine with single elimination tournaments but I absolutely do not agree with removing double elimination at the last minute just to force a closer final. I completely agree. It's not fair to give everyone a second chance and punish the one player that performed the best just for the sake of having a "more even" finals. | ||

How about fucking playing wwwaaaayyyy less games?? What does double elimination mean to you? How about it means that you aren't out of the tournament until you're eliminated twice. Squirtle was already eliminated once. Alive so far hasn't been he's entitled to that second life. That's how double elimination works, if you have such a problem with it try and petition tournaments to stick with single elimination tournaments and see how that goes over. | ||

Depends if you count NASL S2, IEM Cologne, or DH as "major" since EG.PuMa and Liquid'HerO won those after transferring. | ||
