In this tourmanent, yes you can argue that. But in a densely packed schedule like HSC it means a lot to have a few hours off while your opponent has to grind it out in a series. | ||

Throughout the entire tournament players in the lower bracket have to deal with the selfsame minor disadvantage when facing people dropping from the winner's bracket who played fewer games. But now suddenly for the finals that small disadvantage is 'enough' leaving the person in the winner's bracket as the only person who doesn't get two opportunities. edit: I'm amazed that this is still going on with how badly Serral lost the build order matchup ending up down ten workers with basically the same comps. The late third snipe was really really big. | ||

The inconsistency lies in the scheduling. If every match (regardless of LB or UB) has plenty of downtime before it to prepare and recover, then yes. But if they play a tight schedule where players a playing almost non-stop and there is virtually no downtime between series at the end of the bracket, then it can be a big advantage to have a couple of hours off to relax and prepare for the finals. | ||
