3 title defenses so far for Supernova at Dreamhack Bucharest

And his loss to Hurricane? (Who despite winning was eliminated without playing any further games.)

Hurricane is so sneaky. He became the UWC and dropped out, so he will hold his title until whenever he plays in Challenger.

GSL style of groups has that thing, that you need to win matches in certain order to advance.
I, for one, like OSL way the most: ignore map scores and h2hs, if there is a tie: do a tiebreaker until infinity.

Yeah, for weekend long tournament GSL style groups or DH tiebreakers for round robin (considering that games are played in the same time) is best way IMO

The thing about GSL style groups is that they're basically just mini double elimination tournaments without a final match. There are disappointing ordering effects, but no worse than those you'll inevitably find in the later bracket portion that all tournaments end up in (and there's still luck of the draw for who you end up with in round robin).

Given all that I'll take the tiny increase in luck in return for the considerable increase in watchability and tension generated by always knowing exactly what each match means for advancement prospects.

This. GSL style groups don't piss you off. Sometimes the other style of groups do.

the main thing that comes up is when two players split series, especially if/when a fan favourite loses like that.
