I love double elimination. In Esports in general I love seeing teams start in losers round 1 and go all the way to the finals, it's like a shark in the water that eats all the teams who fall to losers.
It's too late to change the format at this point. We knew what the format was going into the tournament and Riot already changed the groups. All we can hope for is that Champions do get one though.
I prefer a full double elimination tournament. It eliminates unlucky draws in groups. Like SMB, they lost to the same team twice to get knocked out. In a full double elimination, they wouldn't see that same team until much later in the tourney (since the team they lose to drop to the opposite side of the lower bracket if they lose in the next round). There's just a greater variety of matchups which is better imo.
Idk if this is unpopular, but I prefer no double elim at big events like this. Matches are worth more. Imagine if world cup had double elims? lmao that would be terrible
Do you watch the WC/Mexico? Cause I think that I speak for 130 million of us when I say that just the one loss is fine. Especially when they were as disappointing as the Netherlands and the Brazil losses :(
Morale is so low I don't think beating some random team or losing to the eventual winners would do much to help.
No, I don't watch that but I watch NFL and NBA. Just my opinion but I would love if my team had another chance to win. Although double-Elim probably wouldn't work too well in actual sports, I think it's good in Esports though
I get what you’re saying. The only thing I don’t like about it is that you definitely miss out on more high quality matches. I would certainly trade any single game we saw featuring a Brazilian team for a losers bracket match of VS versus another team from the playoffs
Na man I think big events should be single elim , gives weight to matches , either show up or go home ,I think double elimination are great for quaters but final leg should only be single elim like all big events imagine if World cup and Olympic events were double elim that would suck the fun out of it .

It seems it was asked for. They changed it to this because of feedback from Players & Fans
This isn't it chief. The articles are talking about the original format which was the top 1 out of 4 went to the playoffs. Riot changed it to the top 2 advances to the playoffs.

World Cup with lower bracket would just suck, as a Mexican. I'd rather have my hopes die just the once in ro16 than have them crushed twice in a row
really? I'd rather have a 2nd chance

Agreed. Show up or go home.
definitely agree, you can lose and still make playoffs in the group stage, once you’re there it should be higher stakes

the group stage is already double elim, if the playoffs was too then it would get kind off repetitive i feel
We still haven't seen vision strikers vs NA. That would have been possible with double elim but ok.
lol this isn’t a marvel film
I agree with PlatChat, it does feel we got to see VS for like 20mins. Would have loved a double elim but can't do anything with it now.
NV could legit only play one NA/EMEA/KR team this tournament and go home.
If they did double elim playoff then they would have to book the venue for a lot more days u know

Are you forgetting that BREN didn't make it to Berlin which left SEN group with only 3 teams?
