Hi @the-lone-wolf, @PepsiNGaming, and whoever else is in charge here...
Before we reach too late in the tournament, can we clarify exactly how the top 8 candidates will be decided from the bracket? Since it is a double-elimination bracket I presume making the quarterfinals alone does not qualify you, but rather that the winner and the last 7 other players to lose twice are in? After backtracking through the Losers' bracket it therefore seems (if I am not mistaken) that reaching either the Semifinals or Losers Round 5 should guarantee you a spot in the final 8. And thus, there is no point in playing these or any subsequent rounds, correct?
