This is true, we need a better bracket. 1st and 2nd group in qualify should not meet each other until final. If other groups want 2nd place? Then step up and fight, not to rely on this unfair system.
I'm currently running a group myself and we have to lose on purpose in every Wednesday just to have 3 fights in final. Also other weaker groups begin to copy my strag and start throwing too, it's started to feel annoying.
Hope they change this system all together with the new 2.0 GNW update.
