well, personally, i don't really care which format is used, fair or not. i'm just unhappy because you guys are trying to change it now, and not 3-4 weeks earlier (kinda like how i'd be pissed if a professor mentions a specific final exam format in the syllabus and decides to change it right before the day of the exam). so... if this arguing goes on for another day or so, how about we have like a vote from all CPL participants (and i mean EVERYONE, not just members in the finals)?

Fairness to the less played players is so meh as a reason to me.
Our less played players are less played because the vanished and never earned a position in the lineup again. Honestly I don't think anything is more fair than "earn your own spot on the lineup".
And I mean, maybe its just me, but if we play Bo5 all season then I think the finals should also be Bo5. Strength in a Bo5 is what was emphasized all season, and changing the format for the final seems to go against that.

well it's hard coming in as D- and getting a lineup spot vs a D+. Although you're right, its not a good reason. thats why, I just want to point out again

Another alternative that came up was a Bo21 but we use a random generator to pick players for each match. I have a lot of UMS maps that are basically random generators (like russian roulette) and it would be really fun(ny). Maps could just rotate between the 5 CPL maps in an order l10f would decide.

think about it guys! It could be fun!

It does sound like it could be fun, but I don't think its a suitable way to hold the finals lol.

I dunno, I'll try to talk to the rest of my team and see if we can come up with any kind of compromise idea.

Altair, Numlock, what race are you guys missing? I mean since other teams got to replace their inactive players you should be able to do the same. If it's Terran I wouldn't mind participating xD

Our team has a Terran who played in the early season and then disappeared. We see him periodically now but I don't think he's actually played a game with us in months.
And we have a Zerg who also played in the early season but has now peaced out for SC2.
However, I don't think recruiting ace players from top teams is in the spirit of the league exactly, lol.

I think it's perfectly legal, they want a BO7 and you only have 4 players. Ketomai and I would be 100% down for filling out your roster. And what does spirit have anything to do with it when they're going to be anal about doing a BO5 instead?

i think the better way to do it would be for VS to pick me up as a zerg/terran player since I play protoss :D so its kind of fair

it's perfectly legal as long as MIK can be lenient on if we can get someone to play in our stead (not HAVING to be shotcoder/ketomai of course)

i'd rather not finally give in and make all my comments go to waste, but it looks like we have to, because it seems you won't accept any negotiations and rather stick to what you had originally planned and make us deal with it. only reason i argued this now is because right after we won vs WIO, l10f was considering on if we should change the format for finals.
