Starcraft is inherently a individual game anyways, and proleague isn't that much different. Look at Hwaseung, the ultimate 1-man team, and they landed 2nd place this season. | ||

Do you guys really think a BO15 would have been more interesting than this or are you just whining because you're an STX fan? The super ace match is going to be SO intense, like the 5th game of a final. It's all about the excitement factor for the fans... I mean, baseball is a team sport, but it's still possible for dominant pitchers to take over a postseason series. Basketball is a team sport but superstars can still swing games virtually singlehandedly. The line between team game and superstar domination is blurry in many sports. | ||

In basketball if it goes 120-80 99-100 120-80 99-100 120-80 99-100 99-100 you still lose. The only thing crazy about this format is that a SINGLE game determines everything, but that makes for one insanely important game, which I think is great. This is NOT how it works in every sport. In tennis your first 4 sets are to 6 (of course 7 if tiebreak) and your 5th set is... STILL TO 6 (except majors I guess go further?), and in basketball game 7 is STILL 48 MINUTES. That is why Bo1 for the 3rd match is retarded. I guess the closest analogy I can think of is something like volleyball where first 4 games are to 25 and last is to 15, but even that I never fully agreed with. So yeah, if basketball's game 7 was a 5 minute (OT only game), that would be a proper analogy. And then a team with a Kobe or a Lebron would disproportionately win. | ||
