EPTI really hope they reduce the number of PL games, though. I barely watched any games this past season because I knew there would just be no way to keep up.

Yeah, even just watching all the highly recommended games was pretty hard if you had any life whatsoever...but I did it anyway to a certain extent (no life lol). Watching live is especially hard; I just watched VODs for 90% of the games last season. It's great that the OPs of almost all LR threads contain polls now. For games that didn't feature Flash or some other player I wanted to see, I'd just watch games that over 80% of pollsters recommended. When I was super busy with school I'd have a list of like 15+ games that I'd watch eventually. | ||

No. I can't see how "too many games" can be a bad thing. We all have our favorite teams and favorite matchups. I mainly follow SKT, KHAN and CJ. If OZ plays KT I don't care who wins, so I just skip the games, or I watch individual games between players that I find interesting. For the sake of the players health though I think they should decrease the amount of matches. It doesn't make any sense to start playing Bo5 though. That would just give more pressure to Bisu and Flash, and it would lead to less snipes, because most teams would just send their top players. | ||

Okay, that part I get, but can anyone explain to me some of the details behind the actual formats/schedules for how these teams play? Like are teams playing every other day....or are they playing on a weekly basis? I'm confused. :[ | ||

From what I can gather, the least season had a shit ton of games (which seems about right considering I streamed less and watched more last season), and now they're trying to limit those games to make it easier on the viewer...

Like are teams playing every other day....or are they playing on a weekly basis? I'm confused. :[ Nothing is certain yet but here are the problems: Both players and fans thought there were far too many matches (between teams) last season. MBC dropped starcraft from its broadcasting, so they've lost half of their TV broadcasts. Three teams are gone and are being consolidated (maybe), or being drafted up by other teams. Nonetheless there is only 8 teams next year, so there are less games to be played. They really don't have a choice to have less games, but nothing is official yet and we're waiting (ever so eagerly) for the official announcement regarding the eighth team, number of games, format, etc. | ||

If you follow team(s) or players, there actually aren't that many games. I mainly follow Khan since Stork and FBH were my favorite as I began to watch. So I would watch a lot of Khan streams/vods, and Khan players in SLs. Otherwise, I don't bother unless I have free time and a game/match seems interesting. i.e. I might tune into a KT vs Ace match to root for Ace as a David vs Goliath story. Never was someone who just want to see epic games. Because no matter how epic a game, if I don't have rooting interest, I really don't care that much. | ||

Yeah, but if you watched BW back in the past few seasons before BO7s and all this, there was few enough games a week where you could stay up late on Thursday and Saturday and see all of the games going on. Keep in mind while some of us do have favorite teams/players that doesn't mean we don't like to watch or don't want to watch other players and other teams. How else are we supposed to find other players we enjoy and such? Restricting yourself to only watching one or two teams in Proleague is missing a lot of storylines, rivalries, and so on. I'd much rather have them go back to their old schedule (like 08 09 old, lol) but with BO7 instead. It was so easy to watch all of the BW. | ||

although during a bo7 it would become a lot less annoying I think since it sucked when 1/4 of the games were 2v2s (at least for me). or maybe if they just make the maps better 2v2 could be awesome. | ||

Just one short season a year maybe, to show off rookies or something. Maybe make the rookie tournaments more of a "season-thing" so that while we get to meet and see new players play, we get to see them mingle and interact with the old guard too. Or hell, like....2v1s against FlaSh and Bisu by the newcomers. I guess I'm just asking for more things like BNETAttack because I love that show. Or that round table discussion I saw after the match fixing scandal. Oh, and if they're talking about seasons and dieing support...god it's so blatantly obvious they need a translator and they need an english caster. Or just CCTV and sub dat sheet. | ||

Once again, I'm reminded of another past MBCGame show. It was called "The Rookie". The best amateurs and practice partners played against one another on MBCGame. | ||

Set 3: random vs. random Okay, so this may require KeSPA to really bend against their iron will. Random vs. random has a crazy element of luck, or rather, a lot of luck-based elements everywhere in every dimension. But come on, wouldn't this be a heck lot of fun? Who wants to see Stork 4pool Hyun's 12nex (I DO I DO I DO)? This is going to require revolutionary changes in record-keeping (possibly the need to report all 9 possible match-ups for each player) if it is meant to be recorded. But that's too complicated, right? So I'm suggesting that this game to only count towards the game's score, but not towards the personal score (even if both players land their main races). This way: players don't feel bad about playing this coin-toss set because their personal records won't be ruined, a TON of hilarious cheese and failures are going to entertain everyone, and maybe random rookies that are good at all 3 races will get a spot. Keep this for WL format, and now you got a whole new meaning to "all-kill." Just an idea *shrug* anybody got opinions on this? | ||
