Hang on, so in order to win a match, you have to win both the BW bo3 and the SC2 bo3 and if 1-1, we go to ACE match which is SC2?


I don't think so. Score counting is the same:

[BW] SKT 1:0 KT
[BW] SKT 2:0 KT
[BW] SKT 3:0 KT
[SC2] SKT 3:1 KT
[SC2] SKT 4:1 KT

SKT wins 4-1.


oh shit nvm, I think you are right...

They said that splitting the sets was stupid, so the only thing they changed from that was to make the ace SC2? WTF

So, does Bo3 just mean "there are three games"?

Huh, so this means if you win all the BW games, you only need to win one of the four SC2 games?

Proleague Season II match format

Regular season: Best of seven

Sets 1-3: SC1 (Best of 3)
Sets 4-6: SC2 (Best of 3)
ACE Match: SC2

No change for post season, or finals.


I presume this means that the finals will follow the same format as the normal season.

What does the "Best of 3" mean? If KT 3-0s in the BW half and goes 1-2 in the SC2 half, does that mean an Ace because they won BW and lost SC2? Or does it mean there are 6 bo3s, each for a point, like in some SC2 teamleagues?


I had to think about it too when I read Bo3. However I came to the same conclusion as your first one in that Games 1-3 counts in a self contained set while sets 4-6 count as a another contained set. And then goes to ace match when one loses BW and wins Sc2 or vice versa.

The reason why having every game Bo3 makes no sense is that OGN does not have time for that.

I think my idea makes sense, but still having SC2 as ACE match just makes it bad...

I was hoping they'd bring all the best BW maps in history out of retirement, for the final show. That would've been cool.

Match Point please? The best games I have ever seen were on that map.

VERY interesting format they ended up with. SC2 gets the 4 games, so no team can just brute force their way through proleague with current BW skills. But at the same time, BW getting the first 3 sets means the majority of games in the season will still probably be BW.

Making ace only SC2 is a terrible, terrible decision. A single match in a game the players have no familiarity with just kills the excitement. We could be having epic Flash vs. Fantasy in BW, instead we'll simply get another mediocre game.

Ugh, inter-series game switching confirmed to be required. That's going to be a disaster. Looking forward to seeing Flash be mediocre at SC2 while somehow still being as good in BW.

So, only the 4 player macro maps remain.

I wish the ace match was bw. Other than that, this is probably as much sense as it was ever going to make.
