I agree that it's inefficient, but they aren't doing this because it makes sense The format is as it is because they want an assured number of matches that can be scheduled in advance, and the possibility of the most number of meaningful matches. Allowing a more 'logical' tiebreaker such as mapscores decreases the number of possible games. This would mess up OGN's TV schedule. Other sports play meaningless games too, mostly because of this reason. | ||

But there is no real meaning for the game, now we watch soulkey vs parting and no matter how it ends, parting is going down and soulkey advances. Why is it being casted if it doesnt have a real result? What am I missing? | ||

Why is it being casted if it doesnt have a real result? What am I missing? because they want to make sure they push back trap vs. supernova just long enough for me to not watch it  | ||

Why is it being casted if it doesnt have a real result? What am I missing? it kind of matters. not hugely, but they kinda do. if you're first place in your group, you go up against someone who got second in their group and vice versa. if you're third, you get more WCS points than if you're fourth. | ||

Other sports play meaningless games too, mostly because of this reason. This kinda makes sence, still the reasonability of the tournament should be more important than OGN´s schedule and they can´t really plan tie breakers that much in advance either. But still, more games=more money is an argument, I can´t really deny. | ||
