Imagine if its Taeja advancing, if forGG wins with any advantage its really hard to say he is the better player. | ||

It's more exhausting to play at a lan with conditions that you don't necessarily control. Plus the intel and mental preperation you get is pretty good advantage as well. | ||

Sure you play ONE more series, but it gives you more opportunuities than beeing eliminated right away (which is what happens to forgg here). Anyway it'll be a good series hopefully! | ||

I think starting with a 1 game advantage in a BO7 is pretty reasonable. | ||

I can see how that is an advantage. Just not a big enough for me lol If people are against extended series, what about 1-0 in bo7? People have been suggesting that and thats a good middle ground IMO | ||

It differs. Some do pure double elimination, some do DH style, some gives a smaller advantage such as a 1-0 lead in a bo7. Doing pure double elimination has several disadvantages. Losing a series in the WB finals means more than losing a series in the grand finals, because in the WB finals you both lose that series in the eventual grand finals, but you also have to go up against the last person in the LB. You want the grand finals itself to be the more important than the WB finals. | ||

But he had to win less series. The logic of the format is to narrow down to the best 2 players and make them play one series fair and square to decide the champion. | ||
