That is kind of cool if that was the case! Maybe just me but their seems to be a trend of companies being more open an interacting with communities more as of late. | ||

Probably won't happen, but part of me really wants to see it just for the community's reaction. On November 15 2012 13:14 Canucklehead wrote: No, double elim tourneys always have the fairest finals. However, they also are the most anticlimatic due to the winner's advantage, but they need to be given an advantage for not losing a set. There are ways of giving an advantage while still retaining "tension" in the grand finals from the outset. The MLG non-rematch format where they go from Bo3 (or 5) starting at 0-0 to extended Bo7 (or 9) if the Losers Bracket player wins gives the Winners Bracket player a clear advantage, but still requires the WB player to win the most games in the overall confrontation (almost as if it were a straight-up series) -- something you don't get even with a simple 1-0 WB advantage in a BoX series (which, by the way, would have been a greater reduction of advantage (compared to starting at 2-0) than what they decided to use). | ||

Good players list: Check! Good venue: Check! No antiga in the map pool: Check! The only thing that I think could've been better is the grand final format, as I've would've prefered a second Bo5 if the person from the loosers bracket wins the first one, but whatever, this is still going to be good. Seriously, that has a chance to become better than WCS EU | ||

That's what they had at IPL 4, and viewers didn't seem to be happy with the way that turned out (from what I read in the LR thread and chat). So (it seems that) they're looking to do something else. The number of games played might have been a factor in their original plan (trying to reduce the maximum number of games in the grand finals by half, from 10 to 5). | ||

If you are running a double-elimination tournament, you must make it so that that the LB-player has to win 2 series in order to win (Otherwise it isn't a double elimination tournament, as the double elimination principle doesn't apply to the UP-winner), but I don't see the point of reducing the length of the second series in the grand final. | ||
