no it was announced as bo5 when mlg released their rules for this tournament but everyone was too busy looking at the extended series rule
It really should have been Bo7 though. Hyun didn't lose a series all weekend until the finals. Its supposed to be double elim. At least make it Bo7 rather than shortchange Hyun.
Agreed.
Hyun was the only loser who was not double eliminated.

Time for Jinro to come back and make another GSL run.

I think MMA made the final 4 of a weekly cup recently so he's getting there.
Next MLG at the end of November is interesting. If we look at the 2012 events, we had MLGs in end of March, early June, end of August, then early November. This year we are "losing" the end of August/early september event.
For people saying next MLG in November, sundance had this to say
Sundance DiGiovanni @MLGSundance 2h The Columbus announcement states the next 'championship' event will be held there...still room for a few surprises. Vegas?NYC?Seattle?
So, I would guess they would have a summer event somewhere in between, just a secret until then. Sorry if this was posted earlier, just now catching up

Then again Polt didn't lose a series at all.
the double elim debt was paid in the semi-finals. Hyun got his advantage over Hero, and that was it.

I wonder why MLG had to cut back one event.
My guess is some WCS event, probably WCS Season 2 Finals.

Soon enough he too will be good enough to win the go4 sc2 daily tournament like Mvp did.

Probably the whole WCS suddenly messing up everyone's schedule.
