in ASL19 Queen would have beaten Best in ro8 3-1 and Best would not have made it to the finals. And these Best vs Queen and Best vs Light sets are widely considered 2 of the best sets in ASL history. If we still had bo5 semi SnOw would have defeated Soulkey 3-2 in ASL19 Semifinals and would likely have been the champion. | ||

The only valid reasons for smaller Bo are organisation purposes and player fatigue | ||

Bo5 rewards prep Bo7 rewards prep and stamina Bo9 forget it, these dudes are too old for that Bo5/Bo7 makes you show your hand early, it sucks when you have to play the same match up back to back. It helped Larva get his gold. | ||

Splendid play from Jaedong, some of the best Starcraft I can remember seeing. Inspiring. That being said, ZvZzzzz and Leta vs YSChuttulbeyewater are not really piquing the interest too much. Only really intrigued by Light vs Jaedong. Wonder if Light will play any pure SK Terran or not. | ||

In online SnOw has played the best vs FlaSh by a mile compared to everyone else. But maybe Flash's offline killer instincts actually give him an edge. Cant call this one. Flash has a negative online winrate vs only 2 players since his return. SnOw at 42%, and Light at 28%, but vs Light the Sample size is too small to be statistically relevant. This makes SnOw the one real threat to FlaSh. I pulled head to head record between JD & Light from eloboard Light vs JD 7 Neo Sylphid 2 (these may include older games) 3 Knockout 3 0 Match Point 1 3 Attitude 2 1 Octagon 3 2 Jane Doe 1 5 Polestar 3 (these may include older games) Light vs JD Bo7 set on StarcastTV played on March 11 + Show Spoiler + Light took Sylphid, Polestar (close spawn 8 rax) & Jane Doe JD took Octagon, Attitude (close spawn 5 pool), Match Point & Knockout (unpunished close spawn 12 Hatch) JD won 4-3 ------------------------------------------------------------ SnOw and FlaSh from eloboard SnOw vs FlaSh 1 Neo Sylphid 0 0 Knockout 1 1 Death Valley 0 2 Deja Vu 1 2 Dominator 2 5 Radeon 4 1 Match Point 0 3 Metropolis 1 0 Kickback 1 0 Pantheon 1 1 Polestar 1 StarcastTV record (timestamp 22:23 & 1:10:51) + Show Spoiler + SnOw vs FlaSh L Jane Doe W W Octagon L (DT rush) Both matchups I think are really neck and neck. Both could go either way to be honest. | ||

I also dislike Bo7. Bo7 lets you switch the meta and literally play with no opening in mind. This let many defending champions fare better than their contemporary form by playing the series like 1v1 KCM race survival series. This only works if they met the first time. If they know their styles, they run out of openings. If they have a Bo7, it should be a Bo5 next time. Bo3 the one after if they meet at 3 Ro4's in succession. | ||
