Prime example of why single elimination sucks.

LoL Worlds 2023.
T1 v Weibo Gaming in Grand Finals. Weibo gets demolished because they had a lucky bracket run (BLG had a bad day and Weibo had a good day).
We all knew T1 v JDG was the real Grand Finals.

i was taking about blg
but also the point of the tournament is to crown the best team - if they beat jdg on the way to the final then they’re better
why do y’all care so much about second place

because the Grand finals is meant to be the clash of the two best teams in the tournament. it's meant to be the most exciting match, not the obvious favourites and somebody who doesn't look like second place because they got an easier bracket.

also teams would care a lot cuz yknow money

so you would rather have a whole bracket of boring games just to have a good gf than have a very exciting playoffs and a (potentially) mid gf?

I dont find how a game is boring just because its not elimination

in fact i find it more interesting overall because we get to see more match ups and see how different team compare to each other.

because teams care less. i mean they don’t buy you still subconsciously think that there’s a second chance so it’s okay to lose
if you’re down 11-5 on a third map, you’re not gonna get that drive to comeback as opposed to if that was elimination

and about having more matchups: you also have that in a regional league - yet that shit is boring 60% of the time

I mean I watched the behind the scenes of EDG cared a lot about their game against g2, and losing that game was a mental breaker. and I have only watch the bts of just 3 games so far.

Double elimination indeed better than single elim. Makes the event more entertaining in my opinion. Especially the lower bracket runs go crazy.

Dude okay, but u know which team gets crowned the best in the world the one that shines in the moment that requires it to, u can't say they were good but then had a bad day, bro they were required to perform on that day and if they didn't and then it's easy they aren't the best.
