Maybe the Shinhan folks agreed to sponsor if the scene switches to SC2? Assuming that anyone in Korea still plays that game.

Anyway - New season incoming! Too bad it's not Bo7 so we can have 3+ hour match-ups, but a Bo5 will do just fine.

because it's effectively two separate seasons.

I know it's effectively two separate seasons, that's what no Grand Final means. My question was, what's the point of this?

No, actually what Ryo means is BW first season, SC2 second season, which is why there's no Grand Final(why would you have a Grand Final between a BW winner and SC2 winner).

If both seasons are BW seasons, then there's no doubt there should be a Grand Final between both seasons' winner, unless KeSPA thinks only one team will win both seasons.

The fact is, they had to change it up, dramatically. The way last season was run wasnt apparently commercially viable and sustainable - the sponsors pulling out, TV ratings low as theyve been. So they did, with the concise BO5 format, to focus the proleague content on the best players, and league straight to the point with the double finals, making every game count. Remember, this is business, they cannot continue doing the same thing if it isnt turning a profit. And for the few past seasons, Proleague hasnt.


So then what could possibly be the rationale for removing the ace match?


To accommodate for the larger player rosters on each team. The ace match system alongside a Bo5 would result in teams only needing to field 2 good players. I'm still sad : (

Sorry for my bad english...

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

I can't get this line. (I read original Korean article, but still I can't understand what it means ;( )
It means Finals will be Bo3 too?

Actually, I hope with this new format it means KeSPA is allocating some time for OGN to host the next OSL, because Bo7 format really takes a long time. On a 4-3 match, game lasted roughly 3 hours+, which is kinda tiring for both the teams and the commentators IMO.

In the play-offs, the teams will play against each other at least twice, maximum thrice(Bo3 matches, first to win two matches advance). Finals is only one match.

Wow...cant say Im that happy with this news...we have less games, no grand final, no hype before the 5th game (at least not the same, because chances of having 2 big guns playing each other are slimmer now it seems) and the thing that worries me the most is the time of the games....

Wtf 12h and 16h KST its 3am and 7am around here (it will change to 4 and 8 once summer time comes but how long till that=/?). Dont they like europeans?

So by your logic, you want them to play at midnight and 4am in the morning to cater you guys? The fangirls need to sleep too, you know?

I'm SUPER happy that it's starting and all!

But... no ace match really brings a tear to my eye.

OH now I got it! Thank you!
I misread that it means "games number". As I read the article, there are no mentions of the games number in Finals.
Finals will be BO5 too maybe?

philosophical question: would you rather support a wooden spooner or a team that doesn't exist?

Yeah no ACE match, awesome format. That will definitely prevent teams from having unfair ace advantage and make it much more interesting.
