I don't think they're complaining about the brackets themselves but that teams getting to choose their opponents through a non-straightforward process

I thought Nahaz was only 30 something and he just went gray early. There are a couple weird things about the format but a group stage into single or double elim bracket is pretty standard for esports and not unusual for real sports. Not that it matters what other sports do anyway since double elim is what most of the players want.
