I'm seeing for the first time that the first-place teams in the groups are playing against each other in the playoff stage. What's the point of me playing an extra match for first place, with the organizer's permission, if he knew about it, if it doesn't decide anything anyway? Something seems to have gone wrong with the organizers... Essentially, according to these rules, I could have not played the last 2 games at all; it wouldn't have made any difference, as they didn't decide anything.
Brodjaga and Kir played in the same group, and now they are playing against each other again in the quarterfinals. It feels like the rules are being invented from scratch, and all the experience from millions of tournaments is being forgotten. ALWAYS, except for round-robin tournaments, tournaments were played with a gradual increase in the strength of the players as they approached the final, but here it's just random. In this situation, the winner of the tournament will not be the best player, but the luckiest one.
