I do not realy care about Halo. But I cannot for the life of me understand why it works better there?

It is still the same kind of crap that ultimately can double-punish some people while others have luck on their side and do not get punished for loosing earlier.

God, can people seriously not scroll back one or two pages before posting?

The "winner deserves advantage" has been brought up a millions of time and had been counter-reasoned every time.

How did it screw over boxer? Out of the games he played against idra, he won three and idra won four, so idra went through.

If it wasn't extended series, and he'd 2-1'd idra, then idra would have won three games overall but boxer only two games... and you think that is more fair?

That's the entire point to the argument against extended series, so yeah, I think that would be fair. Idra got rewarded for his 2-0 vs Boxer by getting higher seed in the bracket. He doesn't need another benefit from that win.

Not only do I think it's unfair, but it's kind of silly that Idra actually benefitted from the fact that Boxer beat Stephano and SaSe earlier. Had SaSe or Stephano gone through, Idra would not have had that advantage.

So why should Idra benefit from Boxer's wins?

I'm not so sure they're not going to change it, Sundance has hinted at format changes before for next year's circuit. Obviously they're not going to change their rules mid-season.

not really, it's counter reasoned as in they disagree, but not counter reasoned as in a clear point as to why they shouldn't deserve advantage. Though i believe thats the wrong way to put it. Its simply an extended series of the original one.

If that right there isn't enough reason to change it, I don't know what is.

I dont feel the extended series fits starcraft. It's way too hard to win two series. You could be having a bad day the first series thats played and be ontop of your game and still lose 3-4. It's kinda obnoxious.

It's fair, but it sometimes ruins the finals. So now you're kind of conflicted. Do you want to be fair to the players when $5000 and a title is on the line, or do you want to be fair to the viewers?

Tough to say.

In any other tournament style, said player that has the "unfair" disadvantage would no longer be in the tourney. So your Boxer, or your Idra or your MC... who is DOWN... wouldn't even fucking be there. They were already Eliminated in bracket play. The worst part about this rule is having to explain it to idiots.

I guess to you, everything is just an opinion of disagreement unless scientific statistics or experimental theories are presented right?

Extended series completely ruined the end of what was an outstanding tournament.

I don't care about it being "fair", you cannot have an entire tournament lead up to a match that can end in 2 games, potentially less than 10 minutes of play. This is appallingly bad planning for several reasons.

Totally agree, Idra was already rewarded by a higher seed, and a "tired" (Idra just chilled while Boxer was playing Stephano and Sase). There is no reason at all to be up in the series, especially 2-0. It's unfair and kills the hype.

The only advantage I'm ok with, is the classic 1-0 advantage to the player coming from the winner bracket against the player coming from the loser bracket for the grand finals.

These are the type of people that complain about everything. Gets so fucking old.

People are going to complain about PvP finals no mater what you do, Extended Series is just the whipping boy this time.
