Semi-PO and PO will be Best out of 3, while Finals will be only one match.


That's pretty intense with finals only being one match...

Clarification: its the same format as previous 2 seasons. We will have 1 Bo5 finals.

I really don't like this 'no grand-finals' thing. The acematch is kinda lame, but we will see how that turns out.

I don't know about the two seasons, I guess they want to give two teams a chance to say they won a championship this season?

Also, the ace match isn't removed; teams will just have to be more careful in how they use their best player (i.e. Flash) and will have to develop more end-series strategies. I kinda of like the change, shake up the tournament a bit.

People are blowing this way out of proportion man (Unless I completely missread OP).
"No ace match" is one of the things people are saying... They changed the ace match rule so that a team can't send a player more than once (even in ace match). That doesn't make it not an ace match all of a sudden. This mainly calls for strategical changes from the coaches.
"No grand finals" is the other thing people are saying. As I understand it, the season is just split in two with one winner for each half season (total or two winners/season). In my eyes this just means two finals rather than one.

How is it still an "ace match" in anything but name? I don't see why you feel it hasn't been changed? You aren't going to see the two team's best players duke it out, you'll just see the best players the teams have left. And given that one team has to be down 2-1 for there to be an ace match, one team is going to be on the verge of elimination, and probably sending their ace just to get to the ace match, no?

If you remove the only thing that makes the ace match different than any other match, what makes it still worthy of being the ace match?

Call it match point, call it final game, call it whatever you. I still call it ace match, because that's what we starcraft folk usually call the last and deciding game in a team match.

Uh... I don't mind the change, but it's called an ace match because you send your best player, aka your ace... Why would any team send their best player last? Ideally you'd want them to play in the first 3 games, maybe the 4th if you were 1-1 in the third. 5th only if you were 2-1 in the 4th.

So yeah, I think you don't know what ace means or something. It's like a fighter ace. You best pilot. Gets a lot of kills. You don't wanna lose before the 5th match having not played your best player.

God damn this discussion...
You're right if you relate it directly to card games. What I'm saying is that "ace match" is now sc slang for that deciding match. This is not gonna change for me at least - I'm not gonna start shouting MATCH POINT.
You're still gonna pick the best player available anyway - a team might have just used an 'ace' too soon.

The main point is that while this is different, people are going completely overboard with how bad they think it is. PL now demands more skill depth in a team and more strategy in the coach's player selection. I find it dumb to call it bad simply because it's different.

I guess the reason people are upset is because they wanna see flash vs jaedong (and alike) ever time kt and t8 meets. Personally, I would much rather maintain the mystery and hype that revolves around such good players. - Have them meeting be a special treat once in a while.

yeah, CJ is definitely the strongest team in this format. It removes a lot of KT's strength since they can't play Flash twice.

No ace match or grand finals... ? >.>

New format looks really nice for team8, but still it's less games to enjoy. Still excited I get my fix soon though.
