would you rather have:

16 team double-elim bracket

group stages exactly like berlin where each group has 4 teams with 5 games: 2 upper bracket, and upper final, an elimination game, and a decider into a single elim 8-team bracket

4 groups of 4 teams that play in round robin format (for those who don’t know, it’s similar to the g2 sen and f4q bracket except with 4 teams and top 2 qualify) into a single elim 8 team bracket

16 team double elimination format for me. Can't see another VS vs GMB kind of game

issue with that is that someone has to choose the bracket, and how to do it fairly?

GSL -> 8 team double elimination playoffs
Playoffs:
4 teams that are higher seed from groups start in upper bracket
4 teams that are lower seed from groups start in lower bracket

4 teams in 4 groups play round robin into a 8-team double elimination.

It's kinda long but that's what I think will be better after VS vs GMB

the berlin format was nice but i feel like it'd be better with 16 teams in a double elim format

berlin format but maybe with semis as bo5.

ideally 16 team round robin into 8 team single bracket but thats probably too many games

How's that format

basically each team plays teams with similar win/loss records until the teams are sorted into a ranking

Whatever it is, playoffs should be double elim. Can't have vs vs gmb happen again

for champions, you could do 3 days of swiss, and it'd look like this:
day 1 - the matches are determined by tournament seeding - at the end of this day, 8 teams are 0-1 and 8 are 1-0
day 2 - randomly, the 0-1 teams play other 0-1 teams, and the 1-0 teams similarly play each other - at the end of this day, 4 teams are 0-2, 8 teams are 1-1 and 4 teams are 2-0
day 3 - the 2-0 teams rest and the 0-2 teams go home. The 1-1 teams play each other, with the winners going to playoffs and losers going home

playoffs is then an 8-team bracket (can be either double or single elim) with the 2-0 teams getting seeds 1-4 and the 2-1 teams getting seeds 5-8.

u could also do 5 days of swiss for more accuracy, but knowing rito they'd prefer to spread 3 "days" of swiss into a week.

I don't mind having the Berlin format again, as long as the playoffs are double elimination

GSL to single elim 8 team bracket

Or single round robin to 8 team single elim bracket.

As long as the initial groups arent SHIT like masters 3, it should be great .

Challengers ans LCQ are qualifiers. T a major should never be double elim expect if there is bracket reset in the finals, meaning the loser has to win 2 series

i feel like an 8 team double elim would be amazing but it’s not gonna happen, there’s way too many games for a 12 day tournament

Why? Double elim takes away so much hype, so many games tend to get irrelevant

this take is eh. sure majors that are groups which funnel into a single elim bracket can be more hype means every game counts, but from the outside looking in, double elim helps you understand the real champion and there are gonna be more matches.

imagine having an off day causing you to throw away all of your hardwork because the format is single elim.
