EVO has the most ack-basswards system of competition. >lose

>>384247523
Is Punk the guy who never lost up until the finals? Did he get two chances at the finals?

>>384247523

It's double elimination. It reduces risk of "whoops" one bad set randomness. There's 3000 people who enter SFV Evo, but there's a lot of consistency in the top 32. That is part of the reason.

When the Loser gets to the finals, they're not on equal footing. The Winner has to win once, or 2 out of 3. The loser has to reset the brackets by defeating him, THEN they're on equal footing and then win again. The deck is stacked hard against the loser. It's much more impressive to win twice in a row than just once.

>>384247668
yes. this guy is retarded. Not in effect, not basically, Tokido outright beat him twice back to back. Put him in loses then beat him to wi.

It's all fair.

>>384247523
Is this your first time ever watching any kind of tournament? Fuck off

>>384247668

Yes, the Winners finalist is someone who never lost a single match. In fact, Punk is the one who defeated Tokido and sent him into losers.

Their record:

Match 1: Punk
Match 2: Tokido
Match 3: Tokido

So three sets, and Tokido won 2/3. Doesn't that show he's the stronger player?

>>384247523
It's called "double elimination" you moron. If it was just one-loss and you're out, it would be a lot less hype.

Not to mention in Grand Finals the winner of losers bracket must win SIX MATCHES compared to the winner of the winners bracket who only needs to win THREE

>>384247523
atleast the winner gets a free stock the LB winner has to reset

Dota2 tournaments dont even have that

>>384247523
Losers bracket is a longer and arguably more difficult road. Punk is young and inexperienced in such scenarios with this level of preassure, while Tokido is a hardened veteran. It is an ancomplishment for Punk already to reach EVO finals the way he did. And now it is up to him to make this deffeat into a great experience and an asset to the future.

Not that you would know anything about that OP since you're such a crybaby faggot.

>>384247839
If he lost once and got to try again just like the eventual winner did, It seems fair to me.

So we've advanced from 09ers being the shitters to 16ers?

Double elimination system is a good system for games where character matchups player a major role.

No one deserved more to win than Tokido. He's a veteran who consistently gets into the top 8. And he fought the long road from Loser's bracket.

>>384248170
Something like that.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know where there is a translation of what Tokido said at the end of grand finals?

cheeky fucker

not only do you have to play more matches in the losers bracket , punk beat Tokido in a best of 3 , the top 8 was best of 5 , and Tokido proved he was better over the long run.

>>384251116
Then shouldn't Tokido have won a best of 5 matches to stay consistent?

>>384252176
he won two of them
so I just finished watching sfv grand finals, it was pretty good despite knowing fuck all about sfv

>>384255618
Clearly not the case if he made it to grand finals without a loss. That's more than luck.

>>384247523
>>"un-lose" and take on the guy in grand finals who never lost a single time
The guy in the finals gets to lose once, so he's on the same state as you.
It basically just means everyone in the tournament is allowed to lose once and only once.

You're a retard
