I think the corrected/latest version boasts a pretty balanced winrate.

HYPE!!!

Cool, I guess. Just a shame that the format stays the same.. but wholly expected, ofc.

Thx for the info

What don't you like about the format? I quite like it. My only change would be perhaps bringing some Bo3's into the Ro24.

yes, exactly. the ro24 format should be like the ro16 format and the ro16 format should be full bo3

the rest is good

I'll look forward to this!

It confuses me how people still get hyped for Bisu. To me he looks totally out of ideas and like he belongs in RO16, and not further.

I hope he stays away.
A) because the tournament is no fun, when you know whos going to win.
B) people who use their influence to advertise crypto pump+dump scams, don't deserve to have public spotlight.

the ultimate god gamer having to quit this game because of a very stupid mistake, over a 20 year legacy of positive behaviour would just be a massive loss to the scene.

Let him stay away a year or two and then return.
