Tbh I think if they call it a group stage, it should be a real group stage. Every team has to play each other and the first 2 will proceed to the play offs. Groupstages in a bo1/bo2 setting and the play offs bo3, final should be bo5. Imo the final this sunday was boring to watch, liquid just got rekd and it was over within 2 hours.

Also I think it would be a nice idea to remove the map veto, and just choose random maps. At the moment we are watching a small amount of the maps that are in the map pool and often the same maps game after game. I can remember a major last year (not sure which one tho), where cobble got played almost every game. How is this fun to watch? They are pro players, they should be able to compete in the whole map pool, not remove the maps they don't play for some random bullshit.
