I like this 8-team format for the first event of the year. It feels exclusive and intimate, there are no bottom tier shitters (China bros...), every game matters and makes sense narratively. Swiss is much more fun than groups, and with only 8 teams it feels just right.

Swiss is just an amazing format but it's tough to do when you add more teams because of Bo1's

True, usually I only watch the games from tournaments where a team I like is playing, but I've watched about all of them excluding some now

I don’t mind 8 teams but kickoff playoffs needed to have a lower bracket

Real. I usually tune out of Masters because of sheer boredom. There are only around 5-6 elite teams out of 12/16, so the chance of having actual good matchups early on is non-existent.

This one I watched every match and was left quite satisfied with each. The EDG game just now was the worst, but at least it was fast.
