That means...that the Black Bracket will become the easiest one by far, most likely.

I don't know if just one or two backups help a lot, because it's just certain people who are inactive/unavailable at certain times. It would be better to go for a clan-tournament to have minimum amount of forfeits. You see, Red and Blue brackets are progressing well, while Yellow and Black brackets only have 1 match completed each. I wouldn't really put all blame on Quickz.
