 My personal opinion: BO5 Proleague, two times a week. Make Winner's League more of an STX Master's Cup, its own seperate thing Also I feel like MyStarLeague should be broadcast on a third day, and break that off from OSL. It'd be like a rookie-courage tournament and get them TV time and practice, without having to go through and face Bisu in prelims right after haha. | ||

Perfect example: GSL. There is a new champion crowned every fucking month. It was amazing the first time, really fun the second, but by now its just semi-interesting. Allowing for less games allows for more HYPE! OSL takes like 3 months to complete. This gives fans a chance to follow a player closely and also allows them to get to know all the players (rather than just the stars like Nestea or MVP). OSL example from last season: Killer. Daim it was amazing to watch him tear through everyone till he got DQed and was unfortunately knocked out. But his rookie run, and more importantly the time it took for it to happen allowed for fans to hype him and connect with his play. I'm pretty sure 80-90% of TL was rooting for that kid (: | ||

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. Just skip the first 2 games. BO5 means no Hyuk, so no thx... It's already quite hard for the non-stars to play, why make it harder while putting more work on the stars? Imagine CJ in a BO5. Effort and Hydra, then 1 or 2 guys more out of Leta, Snow, Horang2, Movie and Skyhigh, and then if necessary Effort or Hydra again for ace. It's pretty ridiculous to imagine Leta only playing every third game. | ||

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 understand this quite well. My opinion is that I like the Bo7 format, I like seeing new blood in the PL because any other show they had showing the amateur scene has pretty much been declared "done". If there's no opportunities for new faces to shine through on televised matches, its safe to say that BW won't be lasting much longer than the current generation of top players. I can see how people want to see only the best playing each other, but seriously does anyone remember all the bitching about so much FlaSh vs Jaedong matches? I didn't mind it, but apparently other people did. Oversaturate with nothing but the gosus and pretty soon they'll run out of tricks to show everybody. They already have enormous pressure on them and as someone who has spoken to several progamers, coaches, commentators, and managers face-to-face, I put it out there that they don't need a heavier workload than what's already being put on them. I'm a big fan of the idea of cutting down PL matches per team per week. 2-3 matches a week is fine and would give the players a little more time to relax, practice, or whatever they want instead of being on a vehicle traveling somewhere where a large sum of money, your team's and your reputation is at stake, and the pressure of "win win win only win". | ||

Winners league completely separate from proleague, before the proleague season starts. bo7 for winners league The reason I say bo5 is because it'll give us more ace matches. | ||
