Everyone seems really cynical about this, but I think the games will end up "mattering" a lot more than people expect, and I think that may be really fun. It may give players lower on the roster time to shine in higher intensity games, which could be great. Plus, from a spectator perspective, ending the tournament in early December in Vegas could make it pretty desirable for people interested in making the trip. I know if my team made it that far, I would consider it.
Thanks for the perspective. I'd like to think I'm less cynical and more... ambivalent? Like I'm not mad, I just sorta don't get it.
But I appreciate your comment and view.
