Why do Reddy and Seven have 3 games, if one is from the upper bracket and the other from the lower? It starts with a 1-0 lead for Reddy. If it's a best-of-three, then there can be a maximum of 2 games. If it's a best-of-five, then there could be 4 more games.

This format was chosen from the beginning with the sponsor. I think I wrote the schedule in text form and showed it in pictures, explaining how the tournament would proceed, and also in a video during the draw (final is best-of-three, the match for third place is a single game). But apparently, I didn't explain everything clearly enough. In that case, it's my mistake, or maybe the participants didn't pay much attention. Many perceive the tournament as a double-elimination bracket, and that's it, although I don't think I mentioned this format at all. I can't change the rules during the tournament; that would be unfair to the participants. It's strange that before the tournament, when everything was published (for several weeks), other issues were discussed, but not the tournament format. They agreed to this format. If the players in the final agree to a 1-0 lead for Reddy, I don't think anyone would object. The same goes if Dark refuses to play for third place. In this format, there is no advantage to the upper bracket (the upper bracket simply gives a chance to make mistakes (losses)).
