DSRack change playoffs to BO3

21-10-2010 09:58

The tournament organizers of DSRack LAN #3 have decided to execute the playoffs in a single-elimination bracket, playing best-of-three maps.

Originally, the playoffs would be played in a double-elimination bracket, where teams would only play one map to determine their faith in the bracket.

The organizers have now announced that the playoffs will be single-elimination and that the matches will now be played best-of-three maps. This will save the organizers and the teams a lot of time, as the teams will not be needed to un-plug and be re-seated for every match.

Teams are currently setting up, the start time, which is 10:30CET, is only approximately, so stay tuned on the frontpage for the times to change.

nice

good to see this lan is adjusting to popular opinion.... finally an organisation whose aim is to please the fan/players! ps. it's their "fate" in the bracket, not "faith"

I have to agree - but at the same time it fuckes with the players mind, and the lesser teams who are "destined" to lose in the quarterfinals won't be to happy =P

fnatic - mTw final.... IMHO fnatic will win 2-1

2010-10-21 10:08

Very good choice!

better like this.

Another tournament with single-elimination.. It's fair, but also boring. Almost no chance for the low and mid seeded teams to make it to the top(at least if they're unlucky, like the Norwegian teams tend to be).

They can beat mTw. They'll lose on train, win inferno and then tuscan can always surprise :)

Odd to change this at the last minute. Seems unprofessional to me. Not that I mind BO3. #6 "good to see this lan is adjusting to popular opinion.... finally an organisation whose aim is to please the fan/players!" To me it seems like it was a decision made due to the time it saves rather than one based on what people wanted, or do you know something I don't?
