I don't like bo1 games, no matter which scheme, that is one of the reasons why I almost don't play in bo1 leagues or tournaments. I am also not sure if the kind-of-bad-luck-that-gives-you-absolutely-no-chance-to-win happens more often at Intermediate (with a decent map choice) than at T17 (with a decent map choice), wxw or shoppers (but what do I know, I don't play T17, wxw or shoppers). Also I can't really compare Inter vs Elite to say which one is better, because I think I've played a good number of both of them and I still can't do such "ranking", they are simply different.
So, to be honest, extreme bad luck happens at Inter (so that if the map was bad, the placement was unfair and your opponent was good enough you will simply lose) I know it, but:
-I am not sure it happens more than at other schemes.
-This particular replay was not one of the cases of extreme bad luck and there was something Darkz could have done to even up the situation:

So it is quite true that people used only to elite and t17 gaming will not stand a chance against an experienced Intermediater in situations similar to this game (multiple kills in the first turn = "roll the worm" maps) in the same way an Intermediater used to "roll the worm" maps won't stand a chance against an experienced eliter in an elite game.
So, please, keep Intermediate as classic and make games best of 3
, in that way I assure you that a good player will almost never lose to a not-so-good player, I've seen it happen.
Last thing: where is the "streak" counter? I've failed to see it in the ranking.
