The third place match is a smaller BoX than the quarters or semis? That seems weird to me. Should be equal or longer imo... later stages should be longer BoX matches than earlier ones, as the players are more likely to be closer in ability (as they both progressed through the earlier stages), and so longer BoX matches are required to pick the better of the two.

Players rarely give their best for third place matches, so I'm not surprised by the decision to play a simple bo3

I still have yet to meet a player that enjoys playing 3rd place matches, regardless of prize money

Why have them in the tourney then? I guess to fill out for final day, since semis originally weren't going to be played today?

What do you think of a pre-finals fun showmatch instead? I remember Destiny vs Incontrol, was pretty fun!

Fair enough; that's disappointing to hear. I'd imagine if the prize differential between 3rd and 4th was substantial enough, it may motivate players more.
