I'm not getting my hopes up for Flash vs. Jaedong. This season has been pretty disappointing in terms of giving us the matchups we're looking for. I understand Kespa's reasoning for removing the ace match but I'm not sure if it was the right decision.

What was their reason for removing it?

1/ The amount of teams in the league decreased to 8 from 10, and the number of games per match to 5 from 7. This means the amount of matches decreases twofold. If 20% of these matches turned out to be Ace match, even more players would lose their opportunity to play official matches. The scene needs new blood, and it ll be difficult for these new blood to gain experience + exposure if team are only allowed to field 4 different players per match.

2/ Ace match in a Bo5 b/w teams heavily favors those team with Super Aces, while hurting those w a deep line-up across the board. (Flash alone bagging 2 out of the necessary 3 wins every match does seem a little imbalanced).

Im positive it ll be a healthy mix of these 2 factors

Thank you for that! Makes sense I guess..

I wonder why they had to reduce the number of games per match tho

7 games can take as long as 3 hours to broadcast if it goes to Ace match. On some days 2 matches are played, and 6 hours of BW may be just too much actually.

I don`t know how someone can say that this system is good? I mean 1 whole round is finished,and we had,what,1 or 2 epic games?? (Bougs-Solkey, FBH-Zero). It`s very likely that we won`t get a single JD vs Flash or Stork vs Fantasy because of that system. And that`s what fans want to see in every sport: Barcelona-Real,Federer-Nadal,LA-Boston etc... No one cares about Atalanta-Chievo...

There were plenty of good games in round 1, even if they weren't 'blockbusters'. JD v Mind, Stats v Bogus, Shy v Sea, the games you mentioned are a few that spring to mind immediately. The opportunity to see new blood and a larger range of players is great, enabling the development of players like Last and Shy and the re-emergence of out-of-form stalwarts like Free and Kal.
That said, I can't wait for the OSL either
