bo7: good. rewards teams with more depth. matches might start earlier, though. or just end way later

race requirement: 2 of each sounds good. 3 max of one race is fine, too. no requirement is not so great

bo3 in playoffs: good. much better than this year's

bo7 for final match: not so good. more chance of fluke win, and not consistency

4 rounds only: good, since there's more winner's league. better if there were intro musics for some players. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=99912

4 days a week: aww.

Whats with that picture of them swimming? Are the float jackets to be cute or can none of our warriors swim?

Wasn't the early Wednesday games initiated because of Air Force ACE?

That was for GOM, and it wasn't on Wednesdays either.

All of these prospective changes sound good to me at first.

bo7 in standard format is so perfect.

If only because we'll get to see PERFECTMAN play a lot more.

The pool could be on a boat.

The hydroslide in the background would suggest otherwise

This PL season is gonna be awesome. I just feel it.
2 rounds of Winners League will be great... are they the same length as the rounds in the previous season?

No, they can definitely swim.

Hopefully these changes will allow players to have more time to practice for each game, leading to a higher quality of games overall. I for one could never find the time to watch more than a small fraction of the total games played.

I suppose one trade off will be that we'll see less great matchups in the proleague, with games like Bisu vs Jaedong being rarer simply due to less matches.

how about just banning all mirror matchups

but... but... JAEDONG!?!?!?

I don't think they should put restrictions, look at WeMade Fox, chances are they will have more than 3 terrans playing every day. There best players are Mind, NaDa and whoever that recruit was (I want to say Midas?) Let people throw there best up regardless of the races.

This is awesome. We can have both a superstar tearing it up through the rival team and then depth fights.

Just one question: do both rounds have PO? Or are the POs played only after the second round?
I mean, if it is going to be @phase 1: Bo7/WinnersLeague @phase 2: Bo7/WinnersLeague, will be there POs for both phase 1 and 2 or just only after phase 2?

yeah I went for the no more than 3 of each race cap vote.. but I think of allllll the zvt in the last season and I start to lean toward the 2 of each race
