Having the Ro16 be a double elimination bracket would definitely extend the length of the tournament significantly no matter what, on top of requiring additional setup to allow for even more games to be played at the same time, more staff to oversee them, possibly more casters if they should have a B stream like the old MLGs did, and of course people will always bitch that this or that game wasn't shown etc. It can also be argued that since a double elimination format would necessitate the matches to be Bo3 until the semis/finals (once again for time and logistics reasons), that would cause more variance in the earlier stages of the playoffs. There's a good reason why the vast majority of eSports tournaments don't do double elimination playoffs. | ||
