I don't get the reasoning why having to win 2 boX makes it a bad final... You can treat it as 3 BoX series with the winner 1 up.
It is like saying game 2 of a best of 3 is anti climatic because the winner of game 1 only has to win 1 more game while the loser has to win 2... |

| No matter the outcome everyone should give both these players huge props, Alive for winning against and Squirtle for getting 2nd through open bracket |

oh shit did aLive see those forges? that's a massive scout if he did, means he can take his third as soon as it's done.

I agree. This is a big moment for both players in their career |

With better micro, Squirtle would have held that without being behind :/

I wish stalker micro could be like dragoon micro.
Its also too hard to micro against the SC2 marines too. Marines stutter step micro too well, there's no delay in moving about unlike BW marines (they pause for a moment before running up to attack again). |

| Welp, can Squirtle's reliable build win? Horrible ending for a final if aLive wins. |

Yeah these two are really impressive and will be more known after this weekend despite the vocal minority of trash posters. |

| Yep more 2 base Colossus..MMA and MKP got caught off guard, but Alive is going to be ready because he saw the games. Silly finals :/ |

It boggles my mind why people still argue against extended series.
Alive should be punished for not losing? lol? |

wow TWO Bo5's This is fucking ridiculous for Squirtle.
tournaments NEED to get rid of these fucking retarded extended series and just stick with the normal Ro32 SINGLE elimination format.
?? Double elimination is extremely standard?
Yeah, but I think what he's getting at is that the fairness of giving the WB winner an advantage should be reconsidered because it makes for a poor finals. Having both players start off fresh and having only one bo5 would make for a better final than two bo5, even though it is less 'fair'.
It's a lot less fair and I don't think that it's worth making that kind of sacrifice for a more even final. This is a crux of double elimination, but you can't just give everyone a shot at double elimination except for the player who performed the best in the tournament. If you don't want the double Bo5 finals then I'm fine with single elimination tournaments but I absolutely do not agree with removing double elimination at the last minute just to force a closer final.
the advantage is that you played a dozen less games and makes the finals more interesting.
The disadvantage is that it's not fucking fair to the winner's bracket finalist who only gets to drop one series while everyone else in the tournament gets to drop two. That's a pretty big fucking disadvantage. If it wasn't double elimination, Alive would have potentially won already.
Look guys, if your going to bash on having two sets for player coming from losers to win, don't cite that it is not UNFAIR because it is FAIR. Instead, bash the fact that dual-elimination brackets suck major ass spectators. Dual-elimination is FAIR (MLG is the only one that botches this with extended) and is easier to organize events with open brackets. However, it doesn't bring the hype like a single-elimination does.
It was IGN's fault for trying to be more like MLG instead of NASL or more importantly established Korean leagues.
