Inner Coven. Why have they done this? In an effort to make the game more interesting? I understand wanting to take a proactive stance in making the game less stale, but jesus. I'd rather see Third World or something in this map pool. The map isn't even that bad, it'll lead to good games. | ||

Like Fatal Combat for example. I really liked that one, shame it didn't make it in. | ||

Tell me elitists OTHER THAN TRADITION - Why is BO1 better than BO3? Didnt they do BO3 in losers and deciders match last season? Preferred that much more I'm not saying EVERYTHING has to be BO3 bc they would take forever in SC1 But embrace some change for once, i think BO1 is so dumb, ESPECIALLY in matchups like PvP edit: oops, I was wrong. There still is BO3 in RO16. I'm okay with that | ||

Also, honestly, I don't see what result would have changed. Maybe Horang2 advances second? So far it seems like the strongest players have advanced. Personally, I enjoy when each match has huge stakes, but I don't really see how elitism enters into things. I'm just happy ASL is back. | ||

But to be exact, these groups are Bo3's for each involved player. Everyone get's second chance. Larva and Jyj were 1:1 and played decider. Same with Bisu. I don't see how matchups come into the picture. But I understand your issue with formats, I personally would like to see OSL-style round robins again, I think that does best service for BW. So, there are of course many preferences they must be doing great job I think in accomodating most (see the Bo3 in Ro16) Are these arguments you are willing to accept? | ||

Preferred that much more I'm not saying EVERYTHING has to be BO3 bc they would take forever in SC1 But embrace some change for once, i think BO1 is so dumb, ESPECIALLY in matchups like PvP Here's some reasons: 1.It rewards players who come up with an innovative strategy against a particular player on a particular map. These are some of the most entertaining games, even if the diabolical plan fails. Go rewatch Nada's nuke timing push vs Larva on Blockchain if you want to see an example of this. 2. It adds a lot of suspense to every game while keeping the broadcasts to a reasonable length. With most ex pros streaming and playing other online leagues, it's not like we are being robbed of content with a short and sweet group. 3. Despite all of the fears of it somehow threatening peoples favorite player with an upset elimination, these crazy upsets are still very rare. Bonjwas and successful players have largely stuck around the top regardless of the number of games. | ||

As for the BO1, I for one am glad that it's Bo1. Bo3 are great in later stages (quarterfinals and onwards) but group stages being Bo1 are great for both time and unique strategy perspective. Players also get a chance to redeem themselves and as mentioned above, it's rare to see favourite drop out even with this format. I hope Afreeca keeps it moving forward. | ||

That's an elimination bracket and these are groups. But just to reiterate what has been said above and so those also have something to watch who prefer Bo3's in groups stages there's KSL. And we can check how many time even Bo5's were total sweeps. Group stages work different and I think there have been many points fairly describing why it works better with Bo1. | ||

I don't agree. You have 3 games in your group - if you lose 2 you are out. If instead of a group stage we just had bo3s now no one would complain, but because it's 3 bo1s suddenly "lose a bo1 and you're out". Hey, you want to still be in the next round? Don't lose 2 of your games. | ||
