Personally, I'd rather the 15v16 and 17v18 matches be single matches, and the eighth finals be the same best-in-two format of previous Battlecrys. Seems like potentially spending 75% as much time as the eighth finals on the four worst alliances wouldn't be the best to watch, and a single match to advance would be a lot of pressure.
That said, having more alliances, teams, and matches is a good no matter how you do it. Thanks!
