2 finals is fair.
That's the team's right if they got to the final without losing.
If the 1 final is stated from the beginning so be it.
It's double-elim so everyone has a second chance. (except for the winners of the winners bracket?!) They should decide if they want 1 final or 2 imo.
You can all say 2 finals cause a weird atmosphere but I don't think they do at all.
Why should they? That's what you sometimes have to do to win.
It's when people begin moaning at the end that the atmosphere dampens.
Had NT won due to a 1 final situ in Edinburgh I would've been well pissed off and felt quite cheated. I would've hushed up had a 1 final been stated from the beginning but feel by continuing to win through a tourney, that's your deserved advantage.
And if it had been the other way round I'd be happy to play 2 to deserve a win.
