WWWW --> (1/2)^4. Since either team can win, then for this case the probability is 2*(1/2)^4 =1/8.

WWWWL, WWLW, WLWW, LWWW --> 4*(1/2)^5. Since either team can win, then for this case the probability is 2*4*(1/2)^5 =1/4.
6 games:
WWWLLW, WWLWLW, WLWWLW, LWWWLW, WWLLWW, WLWLWW, LWWLWW, WLLWWW, LWLWWW, LLWWWW --> 10*(1/2)^6. Since either team can win, then for this case the probability is 2*10*(1/2)^6 = 5/16.
Overall the probability = 1/8 + 1/4 + 5/16 = 11/16
