Similarly, the Superbowl is seldom won by a Wild Card, and the World Cup and Champions League are always won by one of the pre-tournament favourites.
Typically, when the top 8 or 9 in the world compete against each other, the weakest gets completely destroyed.
Hi,
that's precisely how a "tournament model" is set up in sports, organization pay structure

His statement makes more sense to me as the book is more "tournament" centric
I am still hesitant to buy the book because i am not sure how much the 20bb 40bb MTT based results he published translate to 100bb cash
