Right now on PS, elimination tours greater than single elimination are not handled correctly. Players should drop into alternating sides of Loser's Bracket to avoid early rematches. Image for example.

The red circles are matches that are rematches. This shouldn't happen this early.

LR1 - Players should drop into loser's bracket in the same order they are listed in winner's side. This is correct.
LR2 - Players should drop into loser's bracket in reverse the order they are listed in winner's side. This is incorrect, and is why there were two rematches earlier than necessary. From top to bottom in LR2, the matches should have been Eriey vs Araii, RocarUber vs Obiw, SolarflareRo vs AltcauseImInsecure, and Micoalado vs TheShadowClaw.
LR3 - Same as LR1, correct currently.

This pattern continues for any size bracket.

edit 2.5 years later : the algorithm I described above isn't quite correct. order should be standard, reverse, half swap, reverse half swap
