How about just have a regular BO7 finals? Is it really that hard to comprehend that the WB final player already has the upper hand due to having rested + having had the advantage of being able to study his opponent?
Not enough of an advantage. The winner is entitled to lose one bo3 like everyone else, otherwise he's the only one that got screwed. In theory the lower bracket player is playing lesser people who have all lost before, so it doesn't matter if they have to play more games. The winner bracket player needs an advantage that is more than just rest.

MMA, MVP, DRG, MKP, Taeja so faceless wow
A lot of those guys were considered faceless Koreans until they were consistently winning foreign events. For Mvp especially that status stuck around for a very long time.
The term is complete bullshit and borderline racism anyway, as is calling them robots etc.
but nobody who won a mlg was their first tournament success.
EDIT; MMA i guess. maybe leenock and taeja if you dont count top 4 in code A.

I call bullshit on that, the rest + studying is enough of an advantage.

Such an advantage is not quantifiable and as such is pretty unfair towards the person that hasn't lost a series yet. A better alternative in my opinion, and one that MLG had used before is to split the brackets, and loser brackets into two halves, and have two people of equal standing in the tournament face each other on equal ground.

The Smash Bros community complained about that idea and it was changed for all the games for some reason. What you're describing was the original format they were going to use.

For me I knew all about these guys (except maybe MMA because i had just started watching a few months before MLG Columbus 2011) by the time they won their MLG. In any case that's an argument for so-called "faceless" Koreans winning because they all became well-known fan favorites afterward :D
