I have a feeling Oz and KT fanboys are going to disagree with you . On a more serious note, I like how WL can bring out the best in more obscure players (minidong's rise to glory, anyone?).

Honestly I love WL. But maybe that's because I'm a KT fanboy.

Actually in WL, Flash is rarely sent out, so Flash fans should be disappointed.
Bisu was even able to snatch away 1-st place with most wins due to this format.
I think in the next game vs ACE you wouldn't see Flash either.

I like WL coz it give more play-time to rookies.

How does WL give more play time to rookies? In WL, teams send 4 players. In PL, they send 6 or even 7 if they choose to do so

I miss 2v2 in proleague.

I like the variety of switching between formats with WL and PL though. Keeps things fresh.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

Yes but in WL, if a team has a strong ace they can rely on to clean up, the risk of losing the set is much lower than in proleague, where aces can only get you 1 + ace match (and you still NEED the other players on the team to score some wins to get to the ace match). As such, most teams can spare 1-2 slots for more dubious players (depending on the team and their opposing team of course).
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.
