Other: 3-4 days, Bo7. Wish this was a poll option, but whatever. I like Bo7s. Presumably with 8 teams, there's a match every day, 4 days a week. 5 rounds probably, so 35 weeks of SC? Two weeks off between each round.... would leave a 3 month off season, hm. Maybe 6 rounds still? Don't know how long a season "should" be.

WL: 2 or 1 are both fine. Really don't have an opinion here either way. Wouldn't remove it though, not until we see an allKILLERRRRRR. It's gonna happen. Guarantee it. Also he's gonna win the next OSL, if he doesn't pause the damn game...

SC2: If it intends to coexist, fine. But not to replace. Never. But when would you broadcast it? OGN's already going to be full of BW as-is trying to cover SPL alone. Seems it'd be much more viable if MBC was still here. 4 matches a week across two channels would provide lots of timeslots for both games and other ESPORTS offerings the channels have.

bo7 but 3 days -> more rest for progamers as well as playing opportunities for "fringe" players.

One round of WL

Bo7 4 days.
WL one round, so the best players have less of a burden.

Wow, unexpected answers from the Koreans!
Glad to see we want it to stay in the current format.

KeSPA cannot begin holding/organizing SC2 tournaments anyway can they? Gretech still has exclusive rights for another year or so, am I right? So what's with the SC2 question? Or would KeSPA and Gretech work together maybe? That seems like it could become a very complicated relationship to say the least.

Awesome. Any information regarding BW is always my top priority.

Regarding the thread, I think SPL will do great no matter what happens

[x] Other - Bo7, 3-4 days a week
[x] Change it to 1 round
[x] We don't need it

Would be nice if the week had 1-2 days of Dream League or anything like that. This way, we get as much BW content as before.

For holding an SC2 tourney, KeSPA needs to pay 1 won per season. For broadcasting an SC2 tourney, KeSPA needs to pay 100,000 won per season. This is the deal iirc.

Bo7 but less than 5 days
Change to 1 round
Coexistence. (i.e. side by side not one replacing the other)

I would prefer to keep the best of 7 format but reduce the number of days down to like 3. It helps to build the younger progamers into better ones.

Winnersleague should go back down to just one round.

I would like to see SC2 be integrated into KeSPA for 2 reasons. First is that the tension needs to stop with KeSPA and whoever is in charge for Korea's SC2 scene. It's hurting Brood War and it's hurting StarCraft 2. The second reason is that I find OGN to be vastly better at televising stuff than GOM is (OGN is a TV station after all).

Bo7 and the teams playing 1 game a week. If 8 teams then matches will be on 4 days. This gives players time to prepare as well as time for OSL / MSL training. Having teams do 2 games a week is just silly - unless you invest in the younger talent.

These Fomos voters know what's up.
2 WL rounds really needs to go though. It sucks.

Stay Bo7 of course, but reducing the days would accommodate the fact that there are less teams. Definitely keep WL, but reduce it to 1 round, we don't need that many games.

Bo7, 3-4 days. I really like the Bo7 format because it allows much more exposure for rookies. I really don't think 5 day weeks are necessary when there are going to be less teams, and a 3-4 day week will allow some players to get the rest and preparation they need (especially for all the team aces).

1 WL round please.

I can only agree with the majority here. Bo7 but less days. As was mentioned in
Milkis' article this will lead to higher quality games and means less pressure for the players. And I don't really care if they do SC2 as long as they don't drop BW.

I like BO7. Shortening games per week would be fine though, so we could see new strategies popping out to snipe certain races on certain maps.

Hopefully KeSPA will forget about SC2 because if they start broadcasting it they will lose so much money and it might hurt BW.
