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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||
