It's like adding 20 yards to the field in the superbowl. I don't even like that they play bo3, but I mind it much less than the fact that each match is bo7 because it doesnt fundamentally change how the matches are played. Bo7 encourages the weaker players of each team to shine. I fail to see a problem with this. | ||

Are all games played in the same broadcast? I love BW as everyone but to watch up to 21 matches in a row would make my eyes bleed. I think the ideal would be 2 Bo5 plus a Bo3 tiebraker. Bo7 feels bland as the first matches are more about gaining an advantage and less about facing imminent defeat. Superace is ridiculous indeed. | ||

hehe jk, Yes, a single football game is divided into two halves, but in many competitions, each match takes place over 2 games, ie. a first and second leg. The total amount of goals determines the winner, and if it's tied, whoever has more away goals wins. | ||

 Calm down  a win is a win. but i agree that a third best of 7 instead of a super ace is better. however, people will find ways to complain anyways: day 1 KHAN 4 - 3 STX day 2 KHAN 0 - 4 STX day 3 KHAN 4 - 3 STX total: KHAN 8, STX 10 new format, same result can occur (one game disparity less). | ||

Bo3 vs Bo5 in individual league has the same players playing more games so the stronger Bo3 player should be stronger in Bo5 (There are players who seem to do better in one format than the other, admittedly.) whereas a team that's strong in the regular season with the Bo5 system may be weak in the post season with the Bo7 format because they do not have a strong fifth player. I understand the Bo7 rewards depth more than Bo5, but then why not make regular season games Bo7 and keep it the same in the post season? Someone made the argument that it allows new players a chance to compete, but do we really want our playoffs filled with games from new players with next to no experience due to them not being viable in the regular season format? Overall, I think that they are trying to make the playoffs grander using the Bo7 format but it is a bad solution because: 1) It changes what it takes to win a match in the post season compared to the regular season 2) It leads to rookie players with no experience getting played at a time when only the best players on the team should be fielded | ||

Look at MBC vs Woongjin, I think most people would agree that Woongjin would probably win a bo7. And yet MBC advanced, thanks largely to winners league, and Woongjin didn't because they don't have a consistent ace. It's stupid to have playoffs reward a different thing than the regular season. At least the super ace system made it closer to the regular season format, but now that it's gone it's basically a different game. So now we're gonna have to see a bunch of crappy players because the teams which have a better chance of making the playoffs are the ones with 1-2 really good players, not the ones with depth. | ||

Seems more deserved than the super ace in my opinion. | ||

That's gonna be brutal for the players, depending on just how spread out it is. Haha KT has to practice for one Bo7 and every other team has to practice for at least four... | ||

I will be in Seoul from 25th to 30th of July on a conference (first Asia trip ever). Does anyone know the venue for the playoffs, 3rd/6th Winner vs 4th/5th Winner on the 25th (Day 2) and 27th (possible Day 3)? I gather from Elric's/NeverGG's [PIX-GUIDE] that this will not be held at the usual stadiums, so if anyone has details on where to go, I'd be very grateful. Is the venue even decided yet or will it depend on the teams that actually get to this round? Anyone in Seoul planning to go along and doesn't mind bringing another 'foreign' face for the cameras to focus on? Cheers, TDM | ||
