He went like 18-0 or something. I keep the brackets up to date with accurate results, so all 2-0 are 2-0, and 2-1 etc. etc.
The double BO5 in the Grand Finals is actually in his favor, to be honest. I fail to see how it's dumb, either. The whole purpose of the two BO5 is so that Avilo would have had to be eliminted TWICE in a DOUBLE elimination tournament.
Say eve managed to 3-0 Avilo in the first BO5, if we didn't have that second game in there, basically everyone in the whole tournament had a second chance (including eve) except for Avilo. Avilo had to lose the entire BO5, not just one game, for this to happen. Avilo isn't stupid, nor is anyone else that comes to our tournament (except me maybe) and having to play eve in a second BO5 would have given him some insight on how to play against his style. So really Avilo was alot more comfortable going into those finals that eve was, I think.
Winning 3 games vs winning 6.
, ) handled it like the pros they are.

I know the brackets are accurate and up to date. I was terribly sick yesterday and too damn lazy to count. Sorry, but I hope you didn't take it as an insult. And thanks for explaining the double elimination, which I should understand by now, but here's what avilo said last night when he got home:
"LOL! Anything you don't understand is dumb to you." He explained it to me after I wrote the blog. Of course someone from NrG tried to explain it to me in stream chat, too. hehe.
