people who cannot keep up....its understandable.

I hope this thread doesn't go to the community news section,it would be nice if it didn't go to shit because of some guys who never followed BW comment on something they would otherwise not see/care.

Don't worry, I think staff has learned their lesson after basically destroying five threads in a row by moving it to community news lol. If it happens again I will definitely complain as loudly as I can

edit: wowow just as I say it, it's put into community news. T.T I'll reserve myself until after this turns into a you-know-what debate

they want bo5 because that increases the chances of matchups like jaedong vs flash, bisu vs fantasy etc

Fans want bo5 because of instead of seeing Sun vs Flash or Jaedong vs Action they want top players to play against each other more in a smaller, restricted format. Progamers and coaches want more games because they can put in players with little experience and not jeopardize the match fielding a player of lesser skill.

I hope they keep the Winner's League around, I really enjoy that period of Proleague. All kills are just too juicy to not see.

The only downside I can see to having it a Bo5 for SPL and broadcasting DL:
Yes you can see the top tier and the DL will allow rookies to get exp.
But then isn't it possibly unfair for the mid-tier who are better then the B team, but then aren't good enough to be sent out. Like low A team players.

I'm still for the idea, just thinking of possible issues(?) that could arise.

I would be content with either, but if I had to pick I would prefer to keep it bo7 just so there is more content. I also agree it gives the rookies a better chance and making a splash in the scene and gaining experience. Coaches would definitely be more inclined to send out newer players if they can spare a game or two.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks like good changes to me, the scene felt over-burdened by too many games played and generic builds every time. I think WL needs to stay somehow, at least one round.Also, it has to remains a Bo7, so rookies have a chance to play. The back-to-back dynamic mentioned by January is very interesting, I hope this goes through as well.

Overall nice infos, thanks Optical, always glad to have some BW news!

Bo7 is the best format. Changing it to Bo5 would be less beneficial for teams, though we get more gosu matches to watch.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Why not cut it to less than 5 day-week and change it back to bo5 for the official PL, but broadcast Dream league as well? There would be less noob stomping in the bo5 format, and a generally more competitive environment. Since the purpose of bo7 is to give rookie more experience, broadcasting DL live would give them stage exposure without embarrassing them to far superior opponents.

As for the audience, the people who don't really have enough time to dedicate to watching BW would just watch PL, while the more hardcore fans can watch DL as well.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

Wow, this is a phenomenal solution. I hope they go with something like this!

I found that the Bo7 was often too long for me to seriously consider sitting down and watching every game. I frequently found myself checking for the recommended games / checking for players I like, and only watching those games. With the Bo5 format, I'd usually watch the entire series, even when it involved players/teams that I wasn't particularly interested in.
