That's not even that bad. I'd say that this extended series is more advantageous for naniwa than a normal double elimination system would be

If it weren't for time constraints, I think the "win 2 BO3's" is a more likely option for making a comeback than the current "you have to win 3 straight maps" for Naniwa. If you assume the two players are evenly matched, there's a 50% x 50% chance of Naniwa winning 2 BO3's = 25% chance. If Naniwa has to win 3 straight maps in just one BO5, though, the probability is 50% x 50% x 50% = 12.5%.

So, assuming all things equal (i.e. two generic equally matched players), you are 2x more likely to win 2 BO3's straight than to win 3 maps straight.

If it was a 1-2 extended series, then you could either win 3 straight maps or drop 1 map and win 3. That math works out to a 15.625% chance of winning a 1-2 BO5 extended series, I think.

TLDR: Assuming two equally matched players

Chance of winning 2 straight BO3's = 25%
Chance of winning a 0-2 BO5 extended series = 12.5%
Chance of winning a 1-2 BO5 extended series = 15.625%

I don't like the extended series rule. It makes comebacks SO unlikely, and I think you could argue that a 1 BO3 series advantage makes more sense when you lose in the Winner's Bracket instead of a 1 or 2 map advantage. If Extended Series applies even if two ppl meet in the Loser's Bracket (which I think it does?), then that makes even less sense.
