I guess that is more important for the company organizing the tournament, but it is not the fairest way to determine a winner. | ||

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. The logic of the format is that you get 2 chances to be eliminated. The person who makes it to the end without being eliminated twice is the winner. If you do an ACTUAL double elimination tournament, that is. This format is designed to be a mess where not getting eliminated doesn't really benefit you. It's double elimination except if you don't get eliminated it's single elimination. GJ. | ||

Rather see either single elimination or a reasonable advantage for the player that could basically have already won the tournament if it was single elimination. Personally I even think a 2-0 advantage is better than a 1-0 advantage in a bo7, but nothing is just wrong for me. 2-0 advantage is a Bo7 is stupid. It mean that the loser has to go 4-1, which gives the winner too much space to take risks. | ||

If you give one extra life to forGG, then its unfair that Life had to beat Taeja in the losers bracket. But i do agree the format is a mess. | ||

Yeah I guess if it was Bo9 then 2-0. You are right, but anyway for most fair play I prefer 2 Bo3 where the winner bracket player just needs to win one, the loser two. Had that often in Wc3, but people complained about too few games. | ||

What are risks in a game of starcraft 2? You always aim for maximizing your winning chances in each particular game, aren't you? | ||

Don't concentrate on the fact that Life had to beat Taeja. That is just a result. Taeja could have won as well and then it would still have been unfair to ForGG since Taeja's chances of winning the Tournament would be too high. | ||

I already explained, if forGG have an extra life then its unfair that Life had to win an extra series vs Taeja. Its ALSO unfair that forGG have a single life, but giving him an extra life is not a fix. edit: in other worlds, i dislike the format, but the players are aware of all that so its all game. | ||

That way the LB player has to win a BO5 and a BO3 to win the tourney pretty much. Patriots should have started up 14-0 against the Giants the Year they never lost a game. | ||
