I really like the EWC format, which gave more chances to everyone who loses, and best players do get to make the most out of 2nd/3rd chances.

However, the disregard of how far people made it in brackets was frustrating. Oliveira beat Byun twice, made it to losers final (played 5 series vs Byun's 3) but got no reward in KO round draws. Unfortunately he got a much tougher draw compared to Byun and lost in KO round to Classic, while Byun beat Coffee who did not win a single map in the tournament, and now Byun won $5K more for playing less, and easier opponent in KO. That's not really fair, especially considering KO round is Bo3, which makes accidental loss more likely.

So I wish that EWC can do a seeding in KO round next year. It'd be easy to implement and fair to players efforts.

Imagine wiping Solar, Cure and Reynor off the face of the earth, and then giving Serral a 2 hour fight only to be bumped down to first round of knockout bracket just like Coffee, Spirit or Heromarine who all went down 0-3 in the first round (no offense).

Tomorrow's looking to be even more grueling of a day, but holy heck. Everyone has been going live since 6am EST and as we reach 5pm EST, they're still trucking along. That's not to mention the time they need to prep off-air and prepare for another two days of these incredible games.

Oliveira's TvT so breath-taking to watch!

It's so close today, 3-2 then 2-3... Xiaose(one member of Scboy) commented when Oliveira was 0-2 behind against Maru that 'Maru has never been reverse swept before. It's GG.' We all thought he was getting another 0-3.

btw. For those who don't know the meme, Xiaose's curse is literally the Chinese version of the Artosis Curse. (There's an incomplete list of his curse history on liquidpedia LOL.) During IEM Katowice 2023, when Oliveira was 0-2 behind against Reynor, Xiaose commented 'Reynor has never been reverse swept. It's always him reverse sweeping others.' And Oliveira reverse swept, beat herO, and won the championship.

So this time Oliveira made a great comeback to 2-2 and everyone in the Chinese community was like 'Could it BE?' But Maru is still the TvT GOAT... Close! Phenomenal games indeed! The two Oliveira was ByuN series are exciting as well.

I really hope to see some other matchups from Oliveira though. Group A is really the TvT meat-grinder... These days have been so full of TvT. I already miss Oliveira's TvZ 8-Rax though Oliveira himself said Serral has already figured out a way to tackle it.

Anybody wanna discuss those TvT stratergy details? I think there are many stuff to talk about, like the starport timings.

It gives more emphasis that they're "living beings" too.

Not just the Zerg.

And saves me from having to spend the minerals of having to repair them.
