Would a bo7 with Stats starting 1:0 feel better or worse than the current rules? I think as a player I would prefer what we have now, but as a viewer I'm not sure.

Completely disagree. I think this is the fairest format if you want to have double elimination. Double elimination should be for everyone, not just everyone except one player for finals hype.


Agreed. This is the best possible way to do these brackets.
More games, equal series losses allowed for everyone, and non of that weird "1 map advantage" thing for the winner either.

Also when we get the 2nd finals and it goes 1-1 it's ultimate hype time.

tbh i personally favor the 1 map advantage, but the extended series stuff is imo still way better than no advantage at all

Objectively a 1 map lead in a bo7 is less of an advantage for the player from the winner's bracket than what we have currently. But it also feels weirder to the viewers than just two series.

Under the current situation obviously the best advantage would be setting a time and place
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Worse IMO.
Having a series win be a full series win feels better, and the second BO3 always feels tense if we get there.

Gabe looks like he is lighting a cigarette in the background. Interesting drinking technique.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

I have to say that this is probably the best format for a double elimination finals.

Stats vs Serral finals rivalry hype!

What hype? Stats rarely wins any finals. It's like trying to hype new GPU when everybody knows the resutl - miners will buy them all.

So Stats wins if he wins the bo5, Serral has to win a bo5 and then a bo3.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The adept counterattack seemed like a dicey move from Stats, but it paid off in spades.

Stats wasting no time at all and setting up the 4-2 right of the bat, now he can take it easy.
