But hey, maybe KT won't win a third title on flash and stats' backs. The thing is, this might've made a little more sense last year. Progamer schedules were horrendously packed. But now with less teams and no MBC, there's actually extra time for gamers and they just cut back on the games. | ||

Now we are almost certainly going to miss out on many Jaedong Vs flash Vs Bisu matches just because they'll never be sent out on maps that are favorable to the other. There's no way this can help viewership. But hey, maybe KT won't win a third title on flash and stats' backs. The thing is, this might've made a little more sense last year.

They cut back on the games because it's only OGN that's broadcasting and OGN has a ton of other games that they want to broadcast as well. The reason it's Bo5 is probably because OGN is airing SF2 Proleague on Saturdays and Tuesdays as well, right after SC Proleague. | ||

As a Korean male with many other Korean male friends who watch e-sports, I can confidently say that absolutely noone cares about watching SF2. | ||

Could have waited for extra week or even a month to get to see the "old" format tbh. | ||

But there's only one studio at Yongsan. Weekdays are packed with other stuff like WCG, Sudden Attack etc etc. And SF2 league is sponsored by 생각대로T (SK). | ||

Besides, you dont know the lineup before the match anymore anyway and I always thought that was what made ace matches exciting. 5th set will stay exciting anyway | ||

Going back to two seasons is totally fine by me as well. I always preferred that to the marathon season. If the end is in sight, every game means a lot more. Also, just think of it as two grand finals. We're getting two seasons instead of one, and doubling our dose of the tension of playoffs and the pomp of finals. Overall, I think this is really promising, and I don't know if I've ever been as hyped about the start of PL as I am now. | ||

The only gaming tournaments that bring in any significant viewership in Korea are BW related. So why the need to diversify to the extent that it ends up hurting the BW scene. | ||

of course now the most consistent team during regular season gets rewarded with a title, but still, it takes away the spectacle. the season can potentially be decided weeks in advance, taking away the excitement. and no word about winners league... i don't like it | ||

But: No Grand-Finale? Why? The last one had so many viewers. I can't unterstand this change. It's very disappointing. | ||
