The BO7 format will be awesome for teams like Oz and Stars basically forcing their lineup to get more TV experience and toughen up, which will also increase win hunger.

I think the future of this format is very good, and most changes (although not written in stone) looks very good.

While they're at it, change it to primetime EST for the US

I kid, I kid.

I'm not sure I care what changes are made. I just really, REALLY want it to start!

The only thing I don't like here is the no final between the winner of R1 and R2. It feels inconclusive then with a split title.

Bo7 will be the death of Oz. 2 per race (if implemented) would hurt but not kill SKT.

Way too early prediction: CJ wins a round and the other round goes to SKT if there are no or light race restrictions, and KT FingerRolsterNs if there are.

Less games but Bo7 is awesome. Star players practice less for the PL, yet you still have simliar number of games total. Also allows for new stars to emerge, since in a Bo5 or WL it's rare to see more than one new face at a time(unless the team sucks). And for young kids, TV exposure is apparently very important in their development.

Hopefully no such "2 of each race" restrictions. Since that only encourages mirror matchups.

i support this de-emphasis on proleague. after those 5 rounds and the massive playoffs, its time to put more attention on the individual leagues again

Some proposed ones are:
1. Requiring 2 of every race (Remember it's bo7)
2. Only allowing 3 of each race
3. Requiring teams to even out the races they send out for each map
4. No requirements

I really REALLY want #3 to be carried out. Dont get me wrong, i like the occasional mirror, but they seem to be really common lately. this could also help to counter one particular race dominating the season over all (latest was Z) and might even avoid another battle royale incident. Of course it may not work out like that but i'm really curious to see what happens.

Star players usually practice more for proleague. JD Always practises more for "team" matches then his individual league matches.
