Maybe a little too much TvZ for my taste....nah who am I kidding TvZ is epic, especially with these different characters coming at it. Nada v Yellow I fear will be super one-sided...unless Yellow really has some serious surprises for us, but Nada has been active on snipe here and there and was generally stronger regardless. | ||

I agree with others that Bo5 format would be better for the finals. I think Bo5 is a better format for BW series than Bo7, in general. There's always a trade-off in series length. Shorter series are more tense, more random, and more favourable to preparation and strategic plays (aka cheeses). Longer series are less tense, more skill-based, and more favourable to core skills and standard strategies. I like the trade-off of a Bo5 the best. It's short enough that every game feels important, unlike a Bo7, where the first and second games often don't feel super exciting. Yet it's not too random. Because each game is important, it's worth preparing strategic plays, but unlike a Bo3, you can't win the series off a couple of cheeses. | ||

Agree with the 3rd place match being BO3, you gotta save the momentum for the finals game. | ||

Except that Starleague finals have always historically been Bo5. I will say I personally like Bo7 however. | ||

If anything, probably bronze becomes Bo3 and Legends becomes Bo1 | ||
