Shouldn't there be at least a day before the finals??
Regardless of what team plays, we have already seen multiple examples now of players not able to perform at their best in these high value matches.
The format gives great matchups but it seems unfair when the teams can't give their best.
The team reaching finals first anyways have two bans, I feel it just gives some breathing room for the second team that reaches the final.
2 map bans + 1- 3 map pick is insane and now adding no rest day for the team from lower bracket that finished BO5. I wonder which "genius" in riot think of this format. Shit is crazy
I dont get why the lower bracket team get such a schedule with no rest day in between Grand Finals. like i get the top bracket must have some advantages but isn't 2 ban and map 1 and 3 pick already a big advantage? why can't let the lower bracket team mentally and physically reset before going to Grand Finals and deliver a higher quality match rather than just back to back match up. stupid riot
i think its for the viewer retention if you have a 1 day break some people forget to tune in also then you have lower final on friday saturday free and sunday final and saturday alot of people will watch more than on friday or weekdays also isnt like every esport doing it like this? cs, rl, siege, melee, ...
stop complaining, PRX have been in 3 other grandfinals before having the upper bracket advantage and they lost 2 of those 3. They were garbage, thats it.
Evil Geniuses didn't seem to mind. Plus, PRX had map advantage like 3 of their grand finals. It's not an issue.
Also PRX banned Haven when both teams aren't comfy on that map so it was the easiest rematch lowkey. Bind fixed mistakes fr.
