awesome...

16 players seams so small.... they should consider swiss rounds or something. Double Elimination Knock Out is just not needed for such a small group and it seams such a shame to have the best players in the world and not have them play for a decent amount of time.

Swiss for those that do not know is just sort of round robin. So players play almost every other player and earn points instead of "wins". Winning obviously gets the most points. Then the two highest points go into a grand final.

May not be the best way.. I'm not a TO. All I am saying is that with all that talanet and only 16 people, there might be better ways to do the event rather than elimination brackets which are specifically designed to churn through large numbers.

Also how about bets Fto10 or something for Grand Finals!

If it includes players from all over the world, they should have done it top 24 at least

That is awesome! I do think that at least in the future they should make top 32 rather then 16, but it's still awesome regardless. Good luck to everyone in the tourney!
