Interesting format for an 8-team playoffs, with group leaders getting a bye and 4th seeds starting in the lower bracket. Do you guys think this format is better than the standard 8-team double-elim? I believe so, as it means group leaders only need to win their first game to qualify for masters, whereas 4th seeds need to win 3 games in a row. The only downside is fewer matches but the higher stakes make it better anyway IMO. Thoughts?
