when did they change this? i thought it was going to be 2 seasons of 2 rounds each, essentially meaning playoffs for this season would start next week.

did they lengthen each season or did they cancel the 2nd season?

There's fewer teams so I think to balance out enough games aired, it's 3 rounds per half-season.


but im pretty sure they knew there were only going to be 8 teams when they announced the new format.

Um. It was always supposed to be 3 rounds per season. It was announced to be like this when the season started; nothing's changed.

Oh dammit they still got the shitty playoff structure of the 3rd v 4th then v 2nd then grand finals. GAAAHHH!!!! Have a 1st v 4th and a 2nd v 3rd then a grand final zzzzz


What's wrong with the current format? I actually think it's better than 1v4 and 2v3. In 1v4 and 2v3, there's no real difference whether you end up 1st or 4th in the season since the teams are so close that the usual principle of '1 has an easier time beating 4' doesn't really hold up any more. With the current format, being just one place higher makes a huge difference in that you have one less match to win in the playoffs.


But the thing is, a 1v4/2v3 would mean they would play a Bo3 as opposed to the #1 team just having a bye to the Bo1 finals. It also means we get to see more SC from the no.1 ranked team. If the finals was a Bo3, i probably wouldn't mind it so much. Also if there's less difference between 1 and 4, all the more reason for them to match up so that those that are clutch and have prepared better, go through.

Are playoffs going to keep the same Bo5 no ace format as regular season? I also agree that the playoff structure sucks...

Yes, they were. I was just too lazy to type them up, haha. Aaaand it just occurred to me that I could simply use replace in Word. Okay, putting the maps in.
