@tipsy_jana @DKarma @scump @ZooMaa @H3CZ @OctaneSam @TacticalRab @MLGPuckett @ChanceCasts @MilesTheRoss @JeremyStuD please convince @dtsay56 to change it to BO9, 1-0 advantage to winners, no veto advantage. HP, SND, OL, HP, SND, OL, HP, SND. It's the best way forward.

The debates are back on why Winner's Bracket gets no real advantage in Grand Finals. The discrepancy is especially jarring this time around... In this last Pro-Am some teams could lose THREE series before elimination, yet OpTic lost just ONE in Grand Finals and were done.
Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons for each format, based on perspectives from both the CDL and the community:
Two BO5s (Bracket reset)
✅ Winners get the biggest possible competitive advantage
🚫 No real test of the teams' map pool
🚫 GF could end after only 3 maps
🚫 Too long for production if all 10 maps are played
🚫 Confusing format for new viewers
🚫 "Hype" gets lost in bracket reset
BO7 (Current format)
✅ Decent test of map pool
✅ Manageable length for production
✅ Easy to understand format for viewers
✅ No reset, audience "hype" preserved
🚫 Winners only get a veto advantage
BO9 (Winners start 1-0)
✅ Best test of map pool
✅ Meaningful advantage to winners
✅ Manageable length for production (8 maps max, only 1 more than current)
✅ Format is easy enough to understand
✅ No reset, audience stays locked in
Maybe @dtsay56 can offer some insight on why we haven't yet switched to a Best of 9? 🤔

Peyton Manning, John Elway or Vaughn Miller isn’t available: name a Denver bronco.

@nflrums A lot of GOATs. To make things easier on my mental, I'd probably just keep Tom and kick everyone else off the field. So tough to pick the worst.

@TheFlank No 1-0 advantage for team from winner's. @dtsay56, make that change. It'd be so easy, don't take the fans for a bunch of idiots. Tell em @TacticalRab @scump @H3CZ @Methodz @ZooMaa @OctaneSam @MLGPuckett @JoeDeLuca. Take away any map veto power, give a 1-0 edge, fair game.

THREE SECOND PLACE FINISHES IN A ROW… 🥈😬
What’s holding back the #GreenWall in Grand Finals?

@dtsay56 @LAThieves @tBushGaming Imagine if team from Winner's had a 1-0 advantage @OpTic @H3CZ @scump @ZooMaa @TacticalRab @NAMELESS @ChanceCasts @MilesTheRoss

Congrats to @LAThieves for winning CDL Major III! Really impressive to make a run starting from LR1.
Huge shoutout to the other Champions we crowned during this jam-packed weekend of COD as well. Congrats to @tBushGaming for grinding through the Challengers Pit! And congrats to @FalconsEsport for a back-to-back win in the WRS ATL Open 🏆
English
@dtsay56 How about the 1-0 advantage for the team from winners?!?! It would be so easy for you to do that!
English
New this Major, we’ve prepped an extra PPA for each Champs Sunday team to bring Challengers/CDL players in to warm them up 👍

Now let Optic get warm for Grands against Huntsmen @dtsay56

This is why single elim is better in bracket
we have 2 games now both going map 5, all on the line
except it isn't because both of the losing teams will still be in the tournament. Double elim has to go and move games to single bo7 in bracket bo9 final

@Kun_Sl6i @CODLeague @Riyadh_Falcons I do not think you want to make Exnid like Hitler. Hitler is evil.

@BoRi7os That was all Challengers teams to be fair, not just ROC. OMIT was the only one to win a series.
English
I remember tuning into challengers elite on a random Wednesday and watched ROC Esports playing a Sake HP. My first thought was “What the hell are they doing.” Anybody that’s surprised their play-style wouldn’t translate against practiced CDL teams just because it worked in challengers (where most teams don’t know what’s going on), then I don’t know what to tell ya.

@DCTrig @Renegade_JW @BeansMCM @Snzopy @EriKBooM_ @BrackCN It's not rigged. The teams are either just terrible at scouting or too cheap to pick them up.

Pro Am pick ups
1. Ethan
2. @Renegade_JW
3. @BeansMCM
4. @Snzopy
5. @EriKBooM_

If none of them get a spot after the Major then it’s rigged

@cardinal4ever @PFF Because we (Raider fan) didn't deserve it from last year. All these teams, unfortunately, do not deserve to be in Primetime, i'm sure they'll flex a game tho
English
@PFF NFL scheduling computer is a moron just like it's commissioner. How does the No. 1 pick in the draft not get one prime time game?
English
@DSCharlie19 @CODLeague @CallofDuty Oh lmao. I thought you were one of the fans the COD league keep saying exist. I was like, "Nooooo!! They were right!" 😂
English
@SilverSubliner @CODLeague @CallofDuty Yeah don’t worry I get how it works, just a little dig at the finals format
