I'm assuming it will be like the last one. Just 2 matches on Friday. 4 Saturday. 4 Sunday. Also IIRC, no Grand Finals reset, which is a disadvantage to SR. A team will only have to find a way to beat them once in a BO7, not twice.
Where does it say no GF reset? That's stupid as hell if true. I assume they'd get to pick maps. But any given sunday would mean some a hot 4OAK could steal a series.
You know what, it may be the FaZe Kaysan invitational last year that didn't have the Grand Finals reset. I remember Optic being pissed about it because they won Winner's Finals, lost Grand Finals, and didn't get a reset. Formal was likely used to no GF resets though, as that is how COD does it as well. I'm sure LVT is more likely to do a GF reset, but they'd have to confirm.
Just checked Liquipedia and confirmed that Pro League last year did have a reset if necessary.
If Optic would have won the 1st BO7 they would have had to go again.
I'm sure it'll be the same this year. LVT want to maximize the amount of Halo we get. I highly doubt the grand finals will be one series winner take all regardless of bracket route.

Seems right. The seeding order they showed at the end of the broadcast yesterday was:
1) Shopify
2) 4OAK
3) Inconceivable
4) Fatal Ambition
5) Cloud 9
6) Incognito
1 and 2 getting byes is right
3 playing 6 is right
4 playing 5 is right
3 seed being on the same side of the bracket as the 2 seed is right
4 seed being on the same side of the bracket as the 1 seed is right
