what does it mean by no grand final and having two winners? is it like 4 teams in 2 different proleague brackets?

Not enough sponsorship for a Grand Final? I can't see why they'd eschew something that seems to draw the casual fans out of the woodwork. This is now like the Apertura/Clausura thing with South and Central American soccer/futbol. I'm sad to see the old ACE format gone, but I do prefer Bo5.

Does it mention whether coaches will submit player names ahead of the match (the PL system from before the match-fixing scandal) or will it remain in the moment?

No, it's like they have two "semesters" per season. One team wins each semester.

There will be finals for each half of the season. It's basically reverted back to the format they used back in 2004 except Bo5 and with no split divisions (ala Mercury/Saturn).

edit: so we're back to the round 1/round 2 system aka 전기리그/후기리그

T___T why Bo5, no Ace? I feel like that's actually going to make people less likely to stay until the end, if their favorite player (Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, etc.) has already played.

That's a damn good point.

Who the fuck came out with this format?!
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

What ? No Grand Finals ? I missed it in Shanghai because of that imaginary typhoon, so I promised myself I'd fly to Korea to see the next Grand Finals and they've just removed it ?

I guess it's ok because there are still playoffs finals.

And I guess it's really ok because all in all, the fucking Proleague is back yay ! SKT FIGHTING !

Thanks supernovamaniac !

its understandable though, they had to find a way to cut the broadcast time with only 1 broadcasting station at the same time give exposure to as many players as possible.

Best of 5 is a terrible decision. With only 8 teams, the talent is really condensed. We go from a maximum possible of players per team from 6 (since Ace was always a repeat) down to 5. Furthermore, no Ace, so you cannot see your hero play twice.

This is, frankly, a poor decision that will hurt the long term growth since most games will only see 3-4 players per team. I know the fans complained about the length of matches, but I have a feeling the Bo5 format with only 8 teams will be the end of Broodwar. I'm quite serious. New talent will not play as much, and who wants to be a bench warmer and practice partner their whole career.

New talent has no chance. 3-5 players per match down from 4-6 is HUGE.

CJ has 6 big stars (Hydra, Effort, Movie, Horang, Snow, Leta). They can only even field 5 of them tops... there isn't room for the whole big boys let alone the developing talent. All the teams are like this now except ACE and STX.

Although the Bo5 from 2009-2010 ago only saw a max of 4 players, there were 12 teams so 12x4 = 48 max players per week. Now it is 8x5 = 40 max players (or 24 minimum). This is worse than 2 years ago.

Ugh, I wanted Ace match for all the reasons above...mainly the possibility of being able to see the best of the best play twice (e.g Flash JD Bisu Stork..)

No grand final is so depressing too, its like taking away the superbowl ffs!

I also want Bo7 for more games , but I understand they would have trouble with the broadcasting..bah, but I still support them all the way! Go BW!

No Ace Match? FINALLY. That means a TEAM should be strong and not just one player. And I speak this sincerely, I am a Jaedong fan and a Oz fan, but I found extremely annoying a team like that reaching 08-09 finals just because of this ACE Match system.

No finals? You're kidding me right?
