This makes the most sense because I am shortsighted and refuse to acknowledge that Proleague is and has always been about series play/winning matches and not individual records. Also my team lost and so I am very upset. Also this sort of ruling should apply to all sports so if a team wins a division series 4-3 for example they should have to win the World Series by a really big margin or it doesn't count! This is my logic isnt it great | ||

Honestly, I think the format is completely fair. Maybe it's because I play tennis. In tennis, SETS matter, not GAMES. It doesn't matter if you win lose a 5-7 and win the other 7-6, the score is 1-1. Both teams knew that MATCHES mattered, not games. The individual game count simply does not matter. They prepared and set their lineup while keeping that in mind. | ||

The entire point of a bo7 is to reduce variance and let the most skilled team win. You throw all that out the fucking window when you stage a bo1 as a tiebreaker. Variance? ONE Bo7 should be enough to "reduce variance." Count your team lucky that they got a second chance at all. In the old format, Khan would have advanced already and this second day wouldn't have even happened. | ||

In both cases, the set score is 1-1 and the game score is 7-5 in favor of STX just like the game score is 12-9 in favor of the guy who won the 2nd set in tennis. However, after the decider, the guy with less games won (16-18) still wins the match. Like khan (6-7). sry, better example would be 06 76 76 | ||

I'm considering getting a sockpuppet fake STX fan account, but it'd be hard to top the real thing. Assuming other people didn't already do this. Jokes aside, I've been bad mannered enough for today now  . STX put up a great fight and would've deserved to win just as much as Khan. Nonetheless Khan won fair and square. The complaining about the format is just getting silly, that's all. | ||

No, it's pretty ignorant for people to say "I could win a progamer with 5 pool". First of all, the progamer would have to think you were also a progamer to even consider exposing themselves to such a build. Second, short of 12 Nex or 14CC with no early scouting, there's a very good chance the progamer's monstrous worker micro (it's a lot harder than it looks ... there's a gap between even S-class progamers and average ones in worker micro, forget progamer versus whatever rank you are) will be able to at the very least survive the rush, in which case you're almost certainly not so far ahead that the pro's superior mechanics won't make up in like 3 minutes (even Draco was up 60-50 supply against JF in TSL finals in a PvP with identical builds). Unless you practice 5 pool a lot, it's pretty hard to micro your lings against well-microed workers. You think pros haven't practiced against 5 pool 100 times? | ||

The format is okay, just bo7 twice, and a last set of bo1 for closure if tied.. | ||

And it's really not practical to have a 3rd Best of series, due to TV times and attendance/advertising, even though it would be pretty cool. The single ace match isn't perfect, but it is dramatic and it's certainly better than just a vanilla Bo15 format (which would be horrible) | ||

In a tennis grand slam final, the winner of the last set is determined by a tie-breaker that has a minimum of 7 points, not 4. It's like playing a mini-set... longer than 1 game, but much shorter than an entire set. And of course in some slam finals (as we all saw this year in the Wimbledon) you don't even get a tie-breaker in the last set. Basketball's playoffs are no better. Sure you can win 3 blow-out games and lose 3 nail-biters, but still the last match is played. They don't have some gay "ok lets determine this with a short over-time match to decide the winner" no they go into a 7th game. But here it seems like all all day STX was playing their hearts out to win, yet KHAN just wins 1 match to win it all. Of course playing a 3rd series would be crazy... but honestly I think they should have added more than putting everything both teams worked so hard for into 1 game. So what do I think? A bo5 in winner's league format, winner takes all. Would be FUCKING EPIC. | ||
