The idea isn't for the lower ranked players to make it to finals (Why would this be the intention ever?). It's so they can have a more fair+enjoyable experience by playing against players of a more similar skill level, rather than being matched against high ranked players and having absolutely no hope and getting crushed. And it still has the benefits of seeding; the higher ranked players still play eachother at the end.buny wrote:
next time maybe have a double elimination from the start, the second round would have the lower ranked players in the loser bracket playing against each other. Wouldn't actually change anything though since none of them would make it to the finals
It's pretty pointless to discuss now, it's far too late to change anything now but I guess it can be changed for the next tournament.
