Imagine how much better this MLG finals would have been without extended series. So bad. MLG is listening on everything else, why do they insist on keeping this crappy rule?

The extended series rule is basically making the players a best of 7. In the GSL finals, when Nestea had 2-0 leads over Losira or Inca, no one asked that the series be reset to make it more entertaining.

What kind of an argument is this? It is in no way the same situation.


It is the same in that the better player had earned a huge advantage, thus creating a more boring series overall


Except for the fact that it's a totally different situation.


Ok, I said how they are similar. Why don't you tell me the difference?


This thread is littered with the differences, but one is a player who wins and does well in pool play gets an inherent advantage based on his seeding in the championship bracket, yet for some reason, due to the extended series he gets an additional advantage if he meets a player he beat in pool play. How come that player gets to play fewer games, is slotted higher up in the championship bracket and also gets the extended series? There's more than one advantage there. Totally different than your example.


How come? How about because he won when the other player lost.

You should have a poll:

Regardless of fairness, is the extended series more or less exciting for viewers and hyping the finals?
That would get better results I think, because it's fair. It's just not exciting.

Extended series is so silly. Imagine if the GSL finals was between two players from the same group and they gave a 1-0 advantage to the guy who won in pool play.

The worst thing for me isn't even the unfair advantage. It's the fact that the rule can give us a 2 game grand final. Fantastic way to cheapen your own tournament by giving us 2 games. I want a true Bo7 for every final ever.

The one good thing about the extended series is it allowed the finals to finish before the walking dead premiers

Is this necessary for every time MLG is going on? I'm pretty sure they know the majority doesn't like it. They are comfortable with there format and are not going to change it. I'm personally fine with the rule as the person from the winners bracket deserves some sort of advantage.

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.



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.

can you read?

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?


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


can YOU read? That doesn't say anything about why idra didn't deserve the advantage. That only brought up information relevant to the situation. If sase/stephano had gone through, idra would not have the advantage, but thats because they hadn't already lost to idra once. Plain and simple.

to make it short, if they remove extended series, they also need to make it single elimination as a result. To have, in this case, idra and boxer on equal grounds after IDRA ALREADY BEAT BOXER IN THE SAME TOURNAMET (caps lock emphasis) is unfair to IDRA. Boxer should be thankful he's not out of the damn tournament.
