but i also think bo5 with 1 game up or bo7 with 2 games up would be better than two bo x | ||

Make the Ro 4 Bo5, finals Bo7. I think this is the best solution. I agree that the current format is less exciting, especially with the prospect of a repeated series with one player having a big advantage for the finals. | ||

 No advantage... why should the the player from the WINNER's bracket need an advantage anyways? (I say the player that wins the winners bracket should just get a small money bonus for their winner's domination) | ||

You're all haters of extended series in MLG but it's okay if it's an extended series with one game up instead of potentially 2. Ah w/e double elim is fair you guys are too much | ||

Tbh the main point is that fair depends quite a lot of your POV. Heck the WB player can still have lost more games than the LB player. Seeing as the rules apply the same to every player, no matter who wins the finals of the WB, my POV= it's pretty fair.

The finals, the WB deserves an advantage, but not such a large one as 1 straight BoX.

Double elimination could be said to be had to make it harder for the top players to be cheesed out. However if at the Top 4-8 it becomes single elimanation - well upper bracker or lower bracket, everything is evened up, and it makes for a very exciting conclusion to the tournament. I have been giving it a lot of thought, and seriously, if you think this format is unfair, give it some thought first, and then try replying telling me how. | ||

This is not an advantage that only the WB gets. It's equal to everyone else, but everyone else already used that advantage up. So i don't see how it's not fair. | ||

I think something like double elim bracket to 16 players, which are then placed in a single elim bracket, would be better. People from the winners bracket get byes in the new single elim bracket. This is sort of like what MLG does with a championship bracket but less bullshit. Overall though I think pool play into a single elim bracket is better. | ||

MVP could have lost a game to anyone other than Ganzi and would have still had a two match advantage over MMA by virtue of his pool. | ||

If you want grand finals to be a single Bo7 or 9 with both players starting at 0, guess what? That's what's called a single elimination tournament. But you should realize that there's a far greater chance of getting one-sided finals that way (see GSL). I will vomit if you praise the NASL final tournament format because it's the exact same thing as GSL, only that NASL got extremely lucky that two good players really did make it to the grand finals. | ||
