Now my flash can't go out for ace matches anymore , honestly drafting mind was a great idea , coaches must have foreseen this situation coming that's why they decided to get a solid third player for kt and wooki . So nah, I don't think we are going to get trashed over by others team in this format . KT FIGHTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Good news for ACE, their biggest weakness was the lack of a superstar ace match player to seal the deal, now their team of players do stand a chance in a bo5 against other teams if they pick the matchups smartly.

They should stick with BO7, even if they have to remove ACE. I don't see how this will keep new players since teams can now stomp with their best 3 in any line up. SKT will be like FBB all the way T.T, Sun, Soo, S2, Hyuk won't even get a game.

This is ridiculous. I guess it's good and bad that there are no ace players, but the whole two winners thing is so weird. There should only be one champion team
Jaedong plz

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?


there are going to be two finals. one for each season

This is really2 bad for the growth of new players. Limiting number of sets...This is wrong...

They better at least have ace matches in the playoffs, or maybe have aces for 1 round or something.

Not really, judging from Grand Finals 10-11, KT is solid. Not to mention same should be said for SKT1 as well. no Ace and no WL.

WL saved your asses so you could get a Playoff spot as #3, your regular PL format record in the first 2 rounds was terrible.(last rounds also not amazing)

Cat , maybe these is kespa response to audience complaining that sets are too long , so they are going to get bored by having bo7 plus an ace option . I think bo5 is not that bad but taking out ace option is really a bad idea for team's like kt T_T . On another note, if shin han bank is no where in sight as sponsors who else will be sponsoring proleague ?

bo5? what was the vote for? i thought bo7 received the highest votes?

Bo7 on weekends when it's back to back (2 matches) casting could last up to 7 hours. That's probably why they opted for Bo5 instead.

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.

Moreover, those favorite ace players can now only play a maximum of 42 games over the whole year, it seems, as opposed to close to double that. Not only that, but no ace vs. ace means significantly fewer superlative Starcraft matches will be fought this year in favor of simple sniping.

On the whole, it seems like good Starcraft just got downsized.

The biggest problem I had with a Bo7 format was that teams had to play their second stringers on a regular basis, leading to a proliferation of boring, mediocre games. My interest in watching BW did drop immensely as a result, and I don't think I'm alone in this respect.

I'm also really happy players don't have to prepare for as many as 2 PL matches a week anymore. That was f'n insane.

"your asses" whoaaah. why so much hate? don't need to get so aggressive

judging from Grand Finals 10-11, KT is solid (and games leading to that point..when KT zergs were doing well)

Wow. I didn't like any of these changes. No winner's league, down to Bo5 and no Ace match. Like it or not it's the superstars that draw out the big crowds and create the most intrigue and drama. We'll be seeing a lot less of TBLS this year. A LOT less.

there should be a protest or petition if possible, the premise of removing ace match so "rookies" can get experience is BS because the good teams (Khan, CJ, SKT) fielded rookies routinely to get them experience in high pressure situations whereas the underdog teams were forced to field their aces in their entire lineup and ace just so that they could get results and maintain standing

tl;dr: rookies don't get exposure in bad teams, and in good teams they already did, all this does is remove fan excitement about ace match in the possibility that their favorite player/the best player on their team could come out and have an epic match / rematch
