Artem, we should definitely do double elimination (and consequently, best-of-3 in the final); otherwise, there's a chance of being eliminated without a chance to compete for first place after just one loss against a top player. Also, there's an immediate high chance that players of average skill simply won't participate in a tournament where they don't see a chance of winning prizes (from their perspective). As a result, the very group of players who were indifferent and went out to have fun, but contributed money to the prize pool and the conference room rental, simply won't come, and everything will be paid for by 5 people who plan to dominate the CIS region.

Double elimination won't happen in the CIS tournament; we don't have enough time to accommodate it with proper scheduling. Either that, or it will just be for fun, like M200.
