DES published an article on why OGN made the change but I can't be bothered to read it. I'm just so tired of OGN and Kespa taking fans (and the players) for granted after they get a great initial response from them.

From what I read, it looks like they switched the BWPL timeslot with the SFPL's to better market to each game's target audience. Starcraft is now mostly watched by those in their 20s, while Special Forces is watched by teens.

My personal thought: I miss you MBC

agreed. i liked when it was on this timeslot in the past because it gave me a lot of incentive to wake up early and helped me organize and enjoy my day.

I like this timeslot better, allows me to come home from work to catch BW which is awesome. Rather than me spending my afternoon at work constantly refreshing LR threads.

End of Round 1

[image loading]

CJ Entus finish Round 1 on top, despite dropping matches to their two nearest pursuers.
KT Rolster and SK Telecom T1 make credible cases for their playoff participation.
Defying predictions Air Force ACE finish in fifth place, and thereby in reach of a playoff spot.
Most teams are only seperated by a single win. It seems likely that the last two or even three playoff spots won't be decided until the very last day of play.
Against the odds, Team 8 finished last. It would appear as if their mid-round struggle has turned into a crisis.

I really really hope T8 bounces back next round and at least makes themselves a .500 team

Now that the game difference column actually matters in determining a playoff spot (since the teams are all so close), how will this change coaching decisions? Seems like as a coach you would have a greater incentive to stack your better players early, to close out matches faster and end the season with a cleaner record.

End of Round 2, Week 1

[image loading]

For the first time this season SK Telecom T1 take the top spot, with two wins over their closest competitors.
Team 8's struggle for form continues, now two points behind at the bottom of the table.
Competition for the third and fourth playoff spots remains fierce, with 5 teams separated by only a very thin margin.

DES: It's currently time to be testing the new maps for next season and people are wondering how it looks for protoss.
Bisu: (Sigh) It's doesn't look good. [T/N: I thought he wanted to do really next season and he tells us that the maps aren't in his favour o.o] They probably will balance it out but right now there are many maps with naturals that are hard to SimCity [T/N: Like python.. like 10 pylons....] and there aren't very many maps with open centers. There always seems to be some map building. In addition, there are many naturals with cliffs vulnerable to Terran and Zerg attacks. At this point there are only about 2 maps where Protoss is favoured. I'm really hoping for many changes.

Sure Bisu, if you say it... BUT why zergs sucks now?

There's some hope yet for Team 8:
+ Show Spoiler +

with their win tonight putting them at 3-6 and 18-21 and Woongjin's loss last night putting them at 4-6 and 19-26, T8 only needs to win one more set to pull out of last place.

End of Round 2, Week 2

[image loading]

The battle for the top spot continues. This week KT Rolster took over, helped by the poor
performance of SK Telecom T1.
Team 8 manage to take down CJ Entus, to record their first win in five weeks.
STX SouL continue their quiet march up the ranking, having won five of their last six matches.

Edit: New Jersey for Team 8: ->
Edit: Re-sorted the ranking, based on win percentage.
