Is it fair that the winner doesn't have the right to lose? We can find a compromise, for example: if the loser has played more than N games through the lower bracket, then the winner's advantage in the grand final is lost or reduced (instead of BO3 with one loss, it will be BO5). We need to think about this, although it might not be a very good idea.
The scheme I use for my tournaments solves the mentioned problem – both the winner and the loser play the same number of games (maybe +-1, if someone had a free win due to an odd number of players).
