but that would actually be a good format, instead of an 8 team swiss stage which is just a glorified group stage 😂

the swiss stage might be the best thing they've done with the format though?

your opinion ig

I don't really mind the 1st seed getting some advantage, but as of right now, they are getting so little airtime. It's baffling how neutered a Master is compared to literally every other esport's international.

Swiss is where you get a gauge for the level of competition and build satisfying narratives. 12 is fine for Swiss; it's nonsensical that they're doing 8. It's literally just Groups then.
