I love this format: it reminds me of the old MLGs.
Anyone had the opportunity to make a deep run from the bracket if they really turned on the skill, and they would slowly work their way back to the players who performed well in the groups.

Yeah it’s a really good format. Bo5s early, second chances, but the second chance may require such a grind it’s still a disadvantage.
Honestly probably my only issue with the GSL is Bo5+ plus kicking in a bit late to really counteract SC2 volatility. Bo5 in groups, if not the Ro32 then the Ro16 would improve the tournament quality IMO. Would also give more Starcraft for us viewers too.

The format is great imo. Progamers are used to playing a lot anyway, and if for some reason one player that goes to the Knockout bracket early (and in return has to play more) makes it very far, I doubt that player would complain about the format.
See Hellraiser for example. He got last in Group Stage 2 and now gets to play MacSed and if he wins (which I think could happen) he'll be in the playoff stage. He already secured some money and WCS points. I think that's really nice.

Also, terran's gonna win it all. 1. Liquipedia says until quarterfinals. 2. Should start in 50 min, yesterday it was later since the Starcraft stream was showing BW.
