One thing to note on this, while it seems strange format, is that any stream(s) will be able to cover more games. So each player has a higher chance of being featured in the streams. Run 2 streams and you should be able to watch every single player on stream at least once. That's a pretty good plus for me, considering your trying to promote rising talent.
I can see the pro's and con's for this tournament bracket, maybe we could try out a Swiss/Round Robin style bracket that seeds into a top 6 play offs or something? Either way, Eddie is trying something out. While I might disagree with how people are placed, or even if its better than a standard 16 player double elim, I can see the benefits of this and its a test to see how it works.
All the best to everyone playing, My top 4 prediction:
1)MightyKiwi
2)Pezz
3)Crimson
4)Fenner
