Found another hint only the first rounds might be 3 on 3. This is from the opening of today's ep that recapped the Lance fight, once again they said the "first rounds are 3 on 3."
Maybe the semi's will be longer after all? Did anyone else notice this?
The single nicest thing from this godforsaken tournament

Iris wouldn't cheat on Ash like that! ...well, maybe with Cilan...

Reposting if anyone didn’t see it
Translator user here, I got alerted that I might have caused some confusion with one of my translations.
So in this blurb specifically it talks about Ash’s teams being very tactical, and he will use new strategies in this battle against Steven. In the very top blurb it specifically says that Gengar’s trump card is Gigantamax. However it doesn’t actually say that Gigantamax Gengar will be used, it’s just one of the many strategies Ash could use in his battle against Steven. It’s just a possibility, but because of the blurriness of the scan I incorrectly noted that he’d be using Gmax Gengar against Steven. For that I sincerely apologize

2nd round is gonna be a 2v2 The final is a 1v1
Isaac Roberts
If Ash vs. Cynthia is a 6v6, I may just forgive this whole season.
Noah Ward
I have a hard time believing they will do a good battle for Diantha and Leon. Even if that's 6v6 it's gonna be rushed as shit and crammed into a single episode.
Nathan King
If Ash makes it to the finals (whoever he fights) I want ALL his former companions there. I demand an afterparty too.
Jeremiah Hernandez
It'll likely be a single episode long to show how powerful Leon is.
He'll probably bring only his Charizard to the battle to show everyone that he can beat Diantha's party using a single pokémon
Aiden Walker
Semis will be 3v3 too, Cynthia vs Ash's remaining three >S-source?! My ass
Aaron Rogers
>Iris wouldn't cheat on Ash like that! It's not cheating when it's with Ash's consent and they share, user.
I just want Infernape used if it's more than 3 on 3.
A theory I'm working on is Infernape gets so hyped up watching the Steven fight it begs Oak to contact Ash to bring it back for the next one. I am on copium.
Liam Jenkins
he barely beat lance, who is weaker than Diantha Leon will sweat and seethe
Cameron Cox
Even if Ash loses, he is literally top of the world-level trainer. His goal has been achieved, so what, back to school again? Or is it just done for good?
>BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW ALL OF MY ASSPULLS AND SHIT WRITING PROPPING ME UP WEREN'T ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO DEFEAT AN ACTUALLY GOOD AND STRONG CHARACTER BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW Get fucked.

James Harris
I hope someone do that to you, sick bastard
Adrian Brooks
I'd like that, I liked the moments he would try to teach May and Dawn.

How would you react if after the Masters 8 ends, Ash gets confronted by some mystery man who invites Ash to what is basically the Universal League for the ultimate monster-tier trainers of the planet in Not-Spain to reward his skill vs. Leon, and Ash spends the entire Gen 9 saga against Smogon-tier assholes whilst whoever the Gen 9 player character is does the normal league as a B Plot?
