Masters Madrid was the best format we’ve seen

Idk if ppl are calling it a fluke bc of who qualified, the way the Swiss and playoff stages were organized was perfect. Every team had chances to make it, and we really did get the best teams in playoffs, and the grand final. SEN deserved that win, props to them. Hoping we get this format again!

agreed, hope to see it with 12-16 teams though

would be cool for champions to have a 16 team swiss group stage like league

Madrid format was nice, but qualifications for Madrid? no.

Yeah since it had double-elim unlike kick-off

You’re ridiculous btw for trying to call sen frauds. They were the best team at Madrid and proved it. As for the kickoff format remarks, yeah single elim isn’t ideal, but consider a sport like figure skating or fencing. Figure skating, those athletes get one shot for their program, and if they fuck up that’s it. Fencing: it’s a 64 player bracket single elim tourney. Would you call every one of those competitors flukers?? It’s stupid to hate on Madrid, and sen won at the end of the day. No tournament will be perfect, and they played well.

honestly didn't feel like only 8 teams

Of course it’s the NRG flair

the kickoff format WAS ass, but I feel like it didn’t make a difference on the overall madrid results

It was the best format for 8 teams. The number of teams should be higher tho
