Is MLG going to remove extended series some day ? I mean are they just keeping it to annoy everyone ? I see no valid point in keeping it and it is really unfair.

kind of weirded out about how i want to see alicia lose more than i want to see oz win, even though alicia could likely produce decent play in both pvp and pvt finals situations, and he seems like a cool enough guy anyway. i'm just kind of bitter how he managed to get far in yet another tournament despite being code C level when it comes to pvz >=(

Each player had a fair chance to gain an unfair advantage later on in a semi-fair tournament.

Fair?

That is not an advantage.

if you dont see a valid point then you obviously havent looked into the debate at all. Extended series does have some good points

Its not? Showing builds, spending energy, not getting to watch your opponents games/builds/playstyles etc.

What good points does it have in an elimination tournament style like this? I see there are a tiny few merits in pool play tournaments, to avoid game throwing.

He has weak pvz compared to his other matchups but pretty sure he still stomps 99.9% of the foreigners in pvz

that has nothing to do with coming from the winners bracket.....

It provides a powerful hype engine by creating immense amounts of discussion, which also makes MLG LR threads look huge!

Getting more chances to win an equal amount of games is not an advantage.

If he had not dropped a game to Oz earlier, he would have a 2-0 advantage, which means he only has to win 2 games across the entire series and his opponent has to win 4.

Compare to Taeja, who could lose the first series 2-1, and then has to win 2 games in the next Bo3 to advance, for 3 total.

Best advantage goes to person with extended series.

ret vs alicia at NASL looked like both players were trying to lose as hard as they could. don't think i've ever seen supposedly high level tournament semifinals which looked as horrible.

(alicia vs stephano, too, but he was expected to lose that one anyway. just not _that_ horribly as he did, it was probably even worse than nestea vs inca)
