I really really don't like the revive mechanic. It makes some of the countires WAY stronger and when there are 3-4 people per country confuses me. If there arent 4 players that can play for your country then imo you deserve it to be tougher. I am american but it is obvious playing against the US is going to be "how do we beat neeb twice". I thought the whole point of nation wars was to see which countries are the best, both in best players and depth. Mexico, Italy, Finland and the USA all gain a huge advantage at being able to revive their super-ace.

Brazil team looks surprisingly deep with all players playing quite well.

I disagree. This format gives us interesting games with players and strats we don't normally see + we get a lot of good and quality games as well. In this regard, entertainment wise, its very well balanced and I love it.
It would have been cruel to decide a fate of the Ace player in a single best of 1. Quality would suffer...

We could still see strats from those players who are playing against someone better than them, in fact more of that because more of them would have to play. I guess it depends on the end goal, you are right in that it probably makes it more balanced, but personally i prefer rewarding better teams to trying and make all the teams equal. I mean, if you look, Reynor got 8/8 wins, Special got 7/8, Serral 7/8. Now some of them would have still won even without the revive, my point is how MUCH better they get with the revive. Korea gets a BIT better if they can play inno twice instead of their 4 players. Italy and Serral get pretty much twice as good. I just don't like a rule that is waaaaaaaaay more beneficial to some teams than it is to others for the sake of entertainment.

It should be proleague format in my opinion, the bar could be master league if it's to hard for some country to have a 4 man squad.

Results would be a lot more predictable with a proleague format though, and the level of play would be lower. So I doubt it would be as interesting for viewers.

Also the curse of having the group named after you is real. USA is doomed.

The TurkeyDamage saga continues! I might be biased but my favorite foreign fans are Brazilian. Here's hoping they can go even further in future matches.
