Do teams deserve second chances in bo9 rounds?
well why don't we make a tournament with just these 4 teams if that's all you want to seeWishy wrote:

Top 16: KR vs JP.
Top 8: KR/JP vs PL.
Tournament is over before playing semi-finals/finals. Not top tier teams can reach ranks like top 2~4 because the best are already out because of chance. Remember how China was left out by Korea on the first match on OWC 1? Loser bracket is about best teams getting the best positions, if you don't use it you either need to seed teams AGAIN so they won't play against each other (meaning you gonna have to seed PL, KR, JP and some other team on "4 corners" so they will meet on semi-finals) and then random the rest. Which isn't a bad idea actually and it would do the job somehow.
I'd be fine with seeding 4 "super strong teams" to avoid best matches happening on top 16/8 (and some teams getting some top 2 rank because of pure luck).
You never played sports, right ?Wishy wrote:
@BD Any serious tournament has got a loser bracket, this would do part of the job but it won't take any time, since the problem about adding a LB is time. Deal with it, you're not supposed to get #2/#3 when you are not as good as top 3 teams. And again, you're not supposed to lose on Top 16 thing if you're one of the best 4 teams.
This was already done on group stage and no one seemed to complain about it.
So what ? You still have a hierarchy as big as you have here. When, in a rugby world cup for example, you have a 1/8 with New zealand vs Australia, you still have a top country eliminated right after group stage when countries that aren't even on top 10 can get higher. Not even mentionning Tennis because this happens even more.Wishy wrote:
You do know that on sports (say football) they play TONS of quallys so they can sort teams out after that, right? (Don't they start playing them 1/2 years before the actual event?)
Can you atleast tell us why you would do this?Loctav wrote:

I'm not against adding a loser bracket though, but saying "lol if you are a minimum serious you should have one, everyone do this" is not really accurate.
How are teams gonna practice two map pools? It's not like finals gonna be harder but they gonna have to practice like 30 maps. o_oLoctav wrote:

Match schedule for Malaysia vs Uruguay in twitch.tv info should be 16:00 UTC instead of 21:00 UTC btw (as shown in googledocs). No one's gonna be up at 5am to play osu, period
