How could Taeja having to play 3 more Bo5 and starting the grand finals with any kind of deficit would have been fair? Coming back froom looser braket is already hard enough no need to give another advantage to the finalist. Like form all the tournaments taht used this system how many times the guy from looser bracket ended up wining? (Not mentionning that to be totally consinstent, it would need to be 1 bo5 + another bo5 if the looser bracket winners wins first one, which ends up being kind a lot of games..) | ||

Its ALSO unfair that forGG have a single life, but giving him an extra life is not a fix. how is it unfair for Life? he can be happy to have the opportunity to play Taeja and be still in the tournament. | ||

You have to be eliminated twice. Giving him an extra life makes it fair. The reason Life had to win a series vs Taeja is because he lost to ForGG. Double elimination. You need to lose twice to be eliminated. Single elimination. You need to lose once to be eliminated. Life: Lost once so far, loses again and he's eliminated. Double elimination. ForGG: Not lost so far, loses once and he's eliminated. Single elimination. Therefore IT'S UNFAIR. By failing to lose, ForGG plays a single elimination tournament while everyone else plays a double elimination tournament. | ||

Let's look at a hypothetical scenario where Polt won his two games in the winners bracket and advanced to the grand finals. There he comes up against Taeja. Both players won two games and lost two games in the group stages, and neither lost a game in the knockout stages, but since Taeja had a different group his two wins earned him a place in the losers bracket instead. Now when they reach the finals it's Polt with 4-2 in wins-losses and Taeja with 7-2 in wins-losses. Is it then fair that Polt starts with an advantage because he had a more even group in the group stages? If you do a pure double elimination bracket with no group stages to determine seeds further into the bracket, then I'm okay with a slight advantage for the player going through the winners bracket all the way, because the player from the losers bracket plays at most one more game to get to the finals. If you have a group stages there is no way to make it fair anyway and I'd prefer a straight up finals to determine the winner. | ||

I get where you are coming from, some tournaments combat this with double series or the MLG style of bo3 into bo7 etc...however I feel like this is fine as it is.... | ||
