Since placement in brackets depends on which players you face in the group stages it's impossible to make it "fair" in the sense that you get two chances to lose before you're out. 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. Interesting. | ||

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. 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. 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. Not necessarily. Life already lost...so why should ForGG only lose once and be out? 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. Yes it is. Giving him an extra life makes it a pure double elimination tournament. That's the point. 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. Well, its not a pure double elimination tournament. The losers bracket forces the player to play extra series, don't pretent its not relevant :/ It could be Polt in the place of forGG, he lost 2 series in group stages, it could be Taeja in place of Life, he played 3 extra BO5s... And i already agreed its unfair in my previous post, i said its not a fix to give him an extra life | ||
