Who came up with this garbage format? Do we seriously care about loads of Bo1s between garbage teams? Why not just make the rumble stage Bo3 and the knockout state Bo5? What is this obsession that riot has with Bo1?

[forceofsilver]

Guys. The idea of this event is to let minor regions compete to major regions. So the number of teams is fixed (kinda)
and to make all of it bo3 would take ages. The event is already scheduled for 17 days. So stop complaining and appreciate that we have a mid season international event at all!

We already know who's gonna be champion

haHAA we only have 2 real international competition per year, lets make 80% of it best of one haHAA

ugh, I hate a best of one, you can't afford a bad day or you lose the chance.
no room for mistakes.
at least make the rumble stage a best of 3 damnn

is this when we are going to comment that dk will win this tourney just like skt back then?

[graysonkurjata]

Groups of 4 Bo1 double round robin = 6 games played per team
Group of 3 Bo1 quadruple round robin = 8 games played per team

Why not triple round robin for Group of 3?
