Yea but this is like the grand finals of the entire year - ie it uses all of the maps of the past year.
|
So wait, do they only play the final ace match if the final scores are exactly tied (Hite winning 4-3, then CJ winning 4-3) or do they play it if each team wins an overall match?

If only requiem and RA2 were used
but ya having to bring back some fairly old not quite so beloved maps for the finals is another reason for PL to go back to its old format.

overall match (would sound weird if other team wins 4-0 and next set they win 1 game and it would end there  )

- Looks like Samsung will lose to STX based on maps alone hahahaha
- Oh.. Andromeda is being used
- Colosseum, Andromeda and Neo Harmony is all being used...
- Glad to see Andromeda and Colosseum 2 back hahaahaha but Neo Harmony is bad for TvZ so it's a good thing Shin Chupung-Ryeong isn't used keke Ah... But they should have used Tau Cross
- Looks like finals will be Hite vs SKT1
- I think Neo Harmony is better than Tau Cross
- Ace match is only in the second set? Well, since they split it into two sets...
- Why did Hite take out Outsider? Leta is autowin on that map... why...
- Looks like they wanted to put Leta on God's Garden but CJ took out God's Garden... looks like Horang2 for Destination and HakSoo or herb for Neo Medusa...
- Hwasin please don't come out on Heartbreak Ridge...
- THEY JUST PUT IN ALL THE ANTI-TOSS MAPS KEKEKEKEKEKEKKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE
- Jangbi vs July / Leta vs EffOrt
- Hope they reveal the entries on the day itself.. or don't reveal like ace matches...

If both teams 4-0 each other or something, then technically yes, an ace match should appear.
I'm still confused by the format.

OO? BO15 lol...More matches is going to be more epic anyways, but I do think Khan is pretty much fucked in this format as STX has a stacked line up of players they can send out to win:
Bogus,Hwasin,Notice,Modesty,Calm,Hero,July,YoonJoong,Kal
STX's line up is deep, well experienced and highly trained, and them losing in a bo15 format is IMPOSSIBLE at this stage, the only chance Khan has is if they snipe well, and knowing their capabilities and how they performed in previous playoffs January does a good job of sniping and getting the best out of their players. This should be quite epic. Oz loses out a lot in this format too, Jaedong has to prepare for 2 matches + 2 ace matches, and we all know how thick the rest of Oz's line up is, with preparation time like this I expect any team out of the 4 to knock them out in the semis with ease.
Edit: Isnt it kind of weird CJ vetoing Gods Garden twice when they have Kwanro,Effort in the line up? Thats kind of weird to me. I can understand Khans decision since they have only 1 Zerg and he is not good enough, but vetoing Gods Garden is a questionable decision for CJ, who knows, maybe they are saving up some builds for later.

I think this is because the two shows were fighting for who gets to broadcast it live, since both don't want to be broadcasting the same match at the same time for some reason. This is more of a compromise reached by the two broadcasting powers, not really has to do much with Kespa

Nothing better than a chance at 15 games.
Fuck atleast mix it up, this is just downright bad.

And for fans we will see more games and more intense fighting. If it goes to ace match, it will be more epic as choosing ace player is so important

I'm thinking that it doesn't matter whether they win each 'sets' 4-3 or 4-0, if overall it's still 1-1, they'll go into the ace match.

i think if a map was removed and then replaced (like battle royal), then it wouldn't be here.
this format is new, right?
|
With each team playing potentially 15 games in 2 days time, how can there be any measure of quality typical of SPL playoffs?
Way to go, dragging out the season then rushing the best part (WL was probably better but still)

I was confused just looking at fomos' schedule - thanks for the clarification. I probably won't attend STX/Khan, but will photograph CJ/Hite unless anyone objects.
