I meant best-of-21 wins, with whatever games needed to achieve it.
Total games are variable, upto max of N = 2n-1 = 41 games.

Ah now it fits. So you considered the number of victories. The best of N for me means:

bo5 : 3 victories determine the winner.
bo41 : 21 victories determine the winner.

So for this I was asking about 41 rather than 21.
