Double elimination is used for the GPD Cup and even for 8 players it can last for 3 hours.
So the best would be the current situation for round of 16 onwards to be all BO3s.
Based on other feedback from pms as well as the ones mentioned above, I think it is safe to say this format will stay. BO3s will start from Round of 16 regardless of whether we get only 16 players or less or more than 16 players. So the format remains as one in a way and no one needs to ask the question whether Round of 16 is BO3s or BO1s anymore
Thanks everyone
