Not having to play extra matches or getting side selection is not a big enough advantage for someone who NEVER lost. What would they get out of it?
Would a bracket reset be good for viewership? Might be way too long for most people, and would lessen the stakes of the first set. If a team started with a 1-0 advantage that could result in a 2-0 dud of a final. I just don’t see many good solutions here…
The problem with double elim is, for the casual worlds viewer which is a majority of views it’s too drawn out and “boring” plus it completely eliminates the chances of underdog stories like DRX. Or even what happened in 2018, such as fnatic, c9 and so on. Because if there was double elim KT would’ve done a LOT better.
