Yeah, thats why Fighting Spirit fills up the entire custom game list, because people are just sick of this map


Keeping Fighting Spirit around forever is going to stunt the meta at the pro level. It's good that it's going from there, but it is a good map to practice on.

actually quite the opposite seeing flash kicked out of ASL on solely the map pool (transister and third world) on transister he made an agressive play to avoid late game pvt cause its litterly #$%! on that map..
the maps where fun but designed to keep flash out of the finals and other terrans didn make it far aswell
i would love to see some non crazy more balanced maps and sparkle can was fun for a bit but really no zerg wants to ever play on it again.

Playing on it and watching pros play on it can be two separate things lol.

Imagine Bo7 TvT lol

Looking forward to this though.

Bo7 seems way to much for Brood war. I would never go past 5 matches for a brood war match. Some BW matches can go for a very long time.

Best of Five is the way to go. Has worked well for ASL so far.

Still amazed every time BW fans off-hand dismiss something just because it's different. BW is default dead (and I say this as someone who loves the game as much as anyone). We should embrace all reasonable experiments! The potential reward of stumbling upon something that revitalizes interest vastly outweighs the risk. Who knows, maybe something interesting happens in a BO7 context (like a super reverse sweep) that creates a bunch of positive press? BO7 is far from the craziest thing the scene should be trying.

Even for those saying "imagine TvT BO7" -- ever watched a triple overtime game in the NBA? It's not pretty but has its own charm once in awhile. Plus, modern TvT is usually extremely dynamic and action packed.

More games, more types of crazy maps (especially since players are no longer dependent on league performance to make money, so balance is less important), more experiments, more Brood War of all kinds, are all good things.

Maybe learn your history before dismissing BW fans. It is not that we don't like it because it is different but because we already had that experiment in the old pro days and also in the Sonic days and it always got rolled back because the cons simply outweigh the pros.

i think b07 gives room for some cheezy plays, in a bo5 you pretty much have 0 room for error if you drop a game trying a cheeze

Thank you Blizzard for making best of 7 semis and finals. I have been wanting to see best of 7 series for important matches for a while. Very excited to see this.

No. There’s zero chance Blizz will let match fixers play in this.

From official rules:

with illegal sports betting incidents cannot participate in KSL Online Qualifiers.

ahhh. what a bummer. Well Savior would have been destroyed anyway, Shinee easily defeated him 3-0 in a Chinese Starcraft tournament

A triple overtime in the NBA is not something you go in expecting it to happen though. The time duration part of the analogy is good but for it to fit you need to have a set number of overtimes to play; like there are at least 4 games in a Bo7 series.

That said, I didn't say I don't want Bo7, in fact I even said I was looking forward to it (even though I prefer a Bo5 series.)

BO7 will present new opportunities for series strategy, endurance might become a factor. I think we'll be seeing more cheese in opening matches, for instance.

I love being BO7: more starcraft, more spectacular games.
It's about time.

There's a threshold though where more starcraft won't mean more spectacular games but the opposite. Especially since most ex-pros don't have a rigorous training schedule anymore so it'll have to be seen if they have it in them to make necessary preparations.
