It's just classic red bull, I'm not even surprised. They spend all this money on the venue itself and on flying out so many teams, 17 in this case, for then to barely have any coverage of the matches for playins, eliminating 8 teams already.
Then we get to playoffs with all the big teams, and they jam everything into BO1 fuckfest...
Worst part is, it's not even that bad for red bull standards.
Cpl years ago they ran red bull campus clutch, 50 teams flown out to Sao Paolo, NO streams for groups, which was like a shit ton of groups, eliminating 34 I believe.
Shit doesn't make sense, it never makes sense with red bull it seems...
So unfortunate cuz the prod is also always COOKED in some obvious way, that they can't even fix after 2 broadcast days...
