Or like STX coming from the losers bracket, having to win twice whereas WJ has to win only ones? I have no problem with STX winning or so, I just find it strange to make the playoffs BO3, but not the finals. | ||

It's been this way since BW, iirc. edit: Yes - since 2008-2009 they've been using this same format. Before that, they used 1 BO7 in all rounds. | ||

Ah ok, thanks for the info  I still think it is a bit weird, but I can understand that they want it to happen all in one session. | ||

At some point during BW the final was two series followed by a "Super Ace" game if needed. The result was very low attendance the first day. Given the cost of venue, it was just not worth it. Having only one series for the final rises the stakes. The first place team still got the advantage of having so long to prepare, so it's not unfair to them. | ||

PlayXP said something like 1000 people when the matches started, but the crowd got progressively larger as the finals went on, and I have no other official numbers. | ||
