No format is perfect... but for a matter of timing and to avoid any sort of 'extended series'.. this format does work. Ideally, a second bo5 is a great choice... but timing and fatigue play a major role in the decision to run a possible 2nd bo5 series. Once the loser wins the first bo5.. .essentially, the players are tied in number of loses and any format after that is fair and even. A single bo3 to determine the champion creates the same results (statistically) as a single bo5... but the time required is almost cut in half. I personally see the final bo3 as an 'overtime' after things have been evened up between the 2 players. My 2.5 cents... | ||

I see no reason to penalise the player from the shadow bracket because he already has to play more matches to get there. Simple Bo7 starting at 0:0 is fine. | ||

Also: Woot! Yay for +Major!! Edit... That also bodes extremely well for Scarlett if Major is entering as a replacement player. + Show Spoiler + I doubt they would have announced that if Scarlett doesn't beat Major for World Cup qualifiers | ||

The VIP seating was a really big deal because you could leave your seat and go watch matches in the other room, and when you got back your seat was still there. If you were like me and had no VIP but loved going back and forth between the big championship room and the Open Bracket room, you had to constantly find new seating(often in the waaaaaaaay far back end of the room). This time, VIP is going to be far more useful though as the VIP/Player room is going to make a lot of people very jealous. | ||

Good to know, thanks. I realize that a significant part of the pricing decision must have been the Cosmopolitian management so won't hold that against you guys. When the LR goes up for day one you might want to consider mentioning that or else there'll be page upon page of "OMG SO FEW PEOPLE IN THE CROWD." Which would most likely hurt the hype somewhat, which could be avoided by stating that people watching only the last three days save up to 80%. Speaking of the live report thread, will you guys be making it or will you look to the community for that? If you're making it, be sure to keep it updated plz. Anyways, keep up the fantastic work IPL. This is looking like it will likely be the biggest and best tournament of the year (it even has terran players!) and what a tournament to visit as my first live tournament watching experience. You're all wonderful for putting this together. | ||

I guess he performs really well in the team house and this trip is perhabs a reward for his hard work. | ||
