Well Hite has very good players for God's Garden. Yarnc, Hogil and mainly zergs. Sounds logical to me.

Is this just for this round? Are we going to have to deal with this nonsense for the entire playoffs?

Entire playoffs.



Which also bodes this question, will they play all sets out? Because if a team wins 4-0, then wins the first set of the next game, will they play it out, even though they have already won?

This is just ... so the grand finals won't even be finished in one day's worth of games .. my brain is trying to comprehend this but it's just all so illogical.

But I wasn't sure this was clarified. How do they play this? First to four wins the Bo7? Then the next Bo7 occurs? I mean, is this all a Bo15 in two parts? Do you need 8 to win? I'm not sure anyone is on the same page here.

This format is bizarre.

I think if each team wins 4-0 then they'll skip the next 3 maps in the second set and go straight to ace map.

they'll most likely be able to send them out once for each game, as long as they abide to the race rule of at least one per race.

expect to see jaedong prepare for 5 games (g1, g1 closer, g2, g2 closer, ace)

sometimes 'long' doesnt mean 'epic'... Check out some Bollywood movie for example.
I wonder what was the hole thinking process of KeSPa behind this...

and btw

I hope the SKT coach decides to use Bisu like only once, cause historically he sucks big time in PL playoffs

Yeah, the quality of the games is going to be so much less than they could have been, and with the matches being stretched out like this it's just not going to feel as dramatic as it could if they just did it in one Bo7 set. OGN/MBC politics and KeSPA negotiating ftl.

It seems like if one day a team wins 4-0, and second day the other team wins 4-3, it will go to ace game. Otherwise, if one team goes 4-0 in first day, on the second day they might have to play only one game, which is bad for the television streaming on the second day:-)

At the same time, if the game goes to ace, the TV streaming on second day will have the advantage. It is weird.. Still I fail to find a better solution to make happy both televisions:-)

nothing says hype and climax like a bunch of games you can't reasonably watch in one sitting
Whenever I encounter some little hitch, or some of my orbs get out of orbit, nothing pleases me so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. www.day9.tv

God's Garden is a tough map for zerg against really strong terrans.

Being healthy, it has been said, really consists of having the same disease as everybody else.

This is clearly a fix. Oz must've bribed Kespa LOTS.
The other players only need to win 2 out of 10!

Just imagine:

Day1:
Game 1: Oz Fail
Game 2: Oz Fail
Game 3: Oz Fail
Game 4: Oz Fail
Game 5:

Day2:
Game 1: Oz Fail
Game 2: Oz Fail
Game 3: Oz Fail
Game 4: Oz fluke a win
Game 5: Oz fluke a win
Game 6: Jaedong wins
Closer: Jaedong wins
Ace: Jaedong wins.... Oz CLAIM TRIUMPHANT "TEAM" VICTORY
