Yes friendly match sums it up perfectly. Also, if two of JD, Bisu and Flash have a bad day in the OSL or get cheesed it is very well possible that we won't see any JD-Flash, JD-Bisu or Flash-Bisu at all in the next year because of cutting Ace matches.
I honestly think we'll see more of those matches now, as people will save their aces till later in the match, thereby increasing the chances of it happening. At the very least it'll happen with a similar frequency to the BO7 format from last year, since that rarely went into ace matches anyway. But when compared to BO5 with ace match, it'll probably be less often.


Nope, we will see the battle of grands rarely now. Most of games between them happened in WL format. Now without WL, ace game would've been another option. But without that, the teams will simply avoid the risks.

Also there's no good in keeping them for later games. Usually every player trains on 1-2 maps that knows well, and that becomes his map inside the team. So we will see the big guns battling with each other only if happens for them to be comfortable on the same maps. And this is quite unlikely as they have different races.

2 finals? Twice the fun.

Bo5? Only the best play!

No Ace? Rewards team depth and strategic lineups,we gonna see some meta coaching.

mother fuck,people none of this is bad news,just fucking kick back relax and watch some Brood War.

Glad to see that changes and glad to see no SC2 for now. I think Bisu, Flash, Stork, Jaedong, Jangbi, Hero, Fantasy are just too good for SC2 and will absolutely destroy the skill ceiling breaking the game.

Brood War is 2x the game and I'm glad they are sticking to it. Now if only Brood War was made in 3D it would be the most amazing thing ever.

Looks like they're giving up on BW.


no,they're not.

if they did they'd introduce SC2 this season.


Not to drag this down to SC2/BW crap, but I suspect the reason the didn't introduce SC2 is probably because Gretech is still riding out that exclusivity deal and talks probably fell through with broadcasting rights. The GSL is competing with MLG, ESL, IEM, Dreamhack, etc. in the SC2 scene, so having OGN/KeSPA splitting the Korean viewership isn't a good business decision.

I really don't think KeSPA gives a damn about BW/SC2 fanboyism, its about the money, and they probably got their hands tied. Plus they could invest in trying to do what they know how to do with BW, or split the funds between BW and SC2 and potentially screw both of them up. THAT would be a deathblow IMO. KeSPA is doing the best with what they got IMO.

i wonder if there's still winners league? too bad there's no more ace match but i think it's going to be more exciting and more strategic in a way. since teams should prepare for 5 good players and players can concentrate on 1 map per game and hopefully they can provide better matchups.

i wonder if they're going to release the schedule soon. we're coming home in the philippines this june and is planning to go a side trip to korea just to watch bw games but if it's off season...

Look when the first person brought the up SC2 rumor and proleague, and look at when the OP edited their post....

No one is flaming BW, and barely anything was said against SC2. It was a discussion about aspect of the upcoming proleague that had a lot of heat behind it. There is no fighting, so lets not go looking for one.

not that this format is a bad thing or anything. but, i just feel that a champions grand final would've been better instead of having two separate champions.

btw it only says there will be three rounds per half. does this mean winners league is off the table or am i missing something here???

The reason why flame wars begin.

Anyways, Korean overall reactions are 'Why no ACE/Winnersleague?' at the moment, with few just thanking KeSPA for having Proleague, and few people outright bashing BW/KeSPA.

So at the moment, everyone has similar reactions to upcoming Proleague.
