The group stage is an extra two months, at a minimum, assuming all groups finish on time. In such a large-scale tournament, the process needs to be accelerated as much as possible to maintain enthusiasm. The experience from tournaments like SC2TV and the World Championship, for example, shows that you can easily do without a group stage, and if you want to play longer, just try not to lose. ;)
Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
