There are 1,000 tournaments a year, I'm glad Blast doesn't have a double elimination bracket

There's so many tournaments in a year, most of them feel indistinguishable from one another.

I like the Blast format. I love the giant bo1 group stage, and the single elimination playoff bracket makes every match feel high stakes and meaningful.

From a strictly merit-based perspective, double elimination is superior as it's most likely that the best team wins.

This is entertainment. There are 10 other tournaments in the year with that format. I enjoy having something different.

My biggest complaint is there is no elimination out of the group stage, with every team getting into the play in. 2 teams should go home from the bo1 section imo.
