It really isn't, with championships at stake.

But no rewarding the Upper bracket players seems stupid...Say Polt has been undefeated so far and Nani, who has already lost a bo3, wins only one bo3 versus him and he goes through? So Nani had second chance and Polt does not get one? Both extremes are pretty fucked up, should find something in the golden middle. This is the essence of the GSL group format though. Players have been 2-3 in matches to another player and advanced over them in GSL before. | ||

Both are like the guy that everyone hates but still hast to respect for their skills, and they have a propensity to act all nonchalant like, "F--- you all, I'm just gonna win." X-D Should be a good match. ...no, "everyone" hasn't hated Polt in 2 years. | ||

Except that if they previously met once, Polt won 2-1, Naniwa winning 1 game knocks Polt down. Instead of 2 games as in a usual Bo3. | ||

I guess someone could be watching the feed in another room or something (not likely either). The stream has a delay witch makes it really hard to even try to cheat. Not to talk about if they are caught they can be shunned out of the community | ||

If extended series wasn't in place, we would have the finals being played about a hour ago. Everyone knows that guy who will never admit he's wrong, even if you show him and he realises the best you'll get is "agree to disagree". I think The MLG commissioner is that guy. | ||

Hm using that logic, this is just a bo7 being played over 2 days. Let's just agree that it is stupid without going into detail^^. | ||

I was hoping MLG would do Bo5 semis and Bo7 finals, but I guess being behind 2-X gives the community more to rally around and raise hype for the underdog. And having a rematch adds to the motivation of both players to do their best. But still, I think extended series was the wrong call, but not the worst possible. | ||

Not that I'm in favor of extended series, it's pretty stupid but Polt should have an advantage. This is pretty simple: you lose, you're behind - even if you did not play the guy from the winner's bracket before. If you want to win a tournament - don't lose. | ||
