That would be over kill to have QFs, SF’s in best of three format - Unless you are an organizations whose income depends on revenue generated by TV and selling commericals for those TV channels.

Only and Only WC final deserves to be played under a best of three format.

The reason why BO3 is better is because it guarantees a second chance to a team if they lose one. It makes the win and the moving to the next round more legitimate. I’m sure we all agree to this.

So then why add this legitimacy to the finals only? and let the QFs and the SFs run the usual way where 1 good or bad day from a team can be decisive to their or their opponent’s WC campaign. QFs and SFs are just as important and crucial. How awesome would a India vs Pak BO3 Semi Final have been this year?

We discussed this here during the WC. I took a closer look at scheduling and it was only going to add around a week - assuming additional changes to the previous rounds to make space for this. Given that the WC happens once in 4 years, I see no problem with another week or even 10 days.
