Btw I know this is not the right place to talk about it, but I didnt do enough prep work to open a new thread about it.

having a double elimination tourney is great, but finals are always a downer for me. when losers finalist wins, its incredible story line but when winners bracket champion wins Its still great but still, you know there is that voice telling "well he onyl had to win one best of 3!" at back of your head. its annoying.

is it possible to have 2 completly seperate brackets of double elimination, and having winner of those brackets fight in the grand finals. this way none of them will have a set advantage over other.

it might no be possible for most tourneys, but in a tournament like ipl with 71 players, I think it might be really good.


Yes. See NCAA College World Series baseball since 1988, and MLG Pro Circuit StarCraft tournaments since 2012 Summer Arena.

As for the IPL5 format, I don't like that the Winners Bracket player can win at the final stage with LLLLWW, but I suppose it makes for a better scheduling fit than possibly having 10 games (two full Bo5 series) at the end of a tournament that ran as late as this one did.


I think it's fair to say they changed the format due to IPL 4.

Great production, did get alittle bored of all the zergs in the end. That combined with the late hours made me quit pretty early most days.

I usually don't like the complain about it, but the guy commentating with Kevin Knocke is kind of bad :s. It's a shame that they don't have a caster that can do something else than the play by play, I feel it would make the game more interesting especially for people who don't know much about starcraft.

I actually hate Kevin Knocke's casting this game.


I cannot watch kevin knocke-casted games.. its very frustrating.. as you stated, he only does play by play and never is able to make a prediction .. its like "these units are attacking these units and it could be very deadly!" his voice is also annoying.

nothing personal against the guy, I just really dont like him as a caster.

My internet died during Polt game
Any game of the final worth watching? I seen some comments about Leenock playing not that standart, was it Queen Infestor Nydus level as he did earlier or?

For the numbers Quintall, i think that nobody except IGN know for now, we could only see the numbers on Twitch and not the ones from their website nor the one from xbox live, which could be anywhere from 3 people to hundreds :D

I remember I woke up at 7am for school and I decided to check the results on TL and I saw it was still going on with 3-2 1-1. I managed to catch the last match and it was pretty climatic

Gratz to FXOLeenock! Best Zerg 2012!

Very stoked for the top four. All players who are well deserving. However, would have really enjoyed Polt in the finals. That depot build/rebuild against violet was incredible. In any case, good times!

Actually i think his statement is pretty accurate for the situation, not really whining either.

Watched the finals on http://www.ign.com/ipl and the first game in the last series is unfortunately commercials only. Followed the thread to keep the LR experience (very important) and it went from "omg 10 pool vs hatch" to commercials to "gg". That sucked.

Otherwise a very good fight between two great players.
Good production and the epilogue was a nice touch.
No awkwardness detected.
