EVO 2012 Thread 2 Because one thread wasnt enough to hold all the hype and the salt

He was in losers bracket..

It's a double elimination tournament and he has been beaten once before while the other guy has not.

So now they both have 1 loss under their belt.

Huh, weird. So a person who loses once, can then win Losers Bracket and then compete in the Finals? But then they're at a disadvantage in the Finals, because they have to win twice?

Wish the commentators were explaining this.
 
Wait, why didn't he win the match? Bracket reset? I'm confused...

Decopon lost earlier in the tournament and was put in the loser's bracket and has moved up from the bracket to grand finals. Since he is in loser's, he has to win two 3 out of 5 sets to win.
 
Can anyone explain why the match was reset? I don't fully understand.

That's how double elimination tournaments work. If you lose once, you go to losers bracket. If you manage to keep winning and get to the grand finals, you have to win one set of matches to reset the bracket first (so now both you and the other guy have one loss each), and then you have to actually win.
