Jokes aside, I assumed that where would be a fair method to make serving/receiving fair for both players in the last game. That is obviously a must, and something that is not a problem in StarCraft. It would be fair and I wouldn't complain. Ok I agree trying to bring in fairness of a tennis match is irrelevent. My main point boils down to this. After having watched a nail-biter of a series in the first set. Then watching a decently interesting series in the second set, I was disappointed that everything boiled down to 1 game. I mean, how hard did both KHAN and STX work to get their wins today and yesterday? Let's look at it this way. The series was tied at 1-1 before the last match, right? KHAN had to battle through 7 games to get that first "set". Then today, STX players put up a stellar performance to win their "set". After seeing how much work each team put into to getting their respective "set points" and tieing it at 1-1, having 1 final ace match as the decider means that 1 game is equivalent to a set, or rather, 4 wins! Jangbi was pretty much able to do what his team did yesterday... except he did it with 1 win instead of 4! Of course, having them accumulate the wins from both teams and adding them up to decide the winning team would not be good either... I mean, what's the point of having an ACE match at all if it doesn't give your team the win? What's the point of having 2 separate sets if they're going to accumulate anyways? Having a 3rd-set would probably be too much, but having 1 deciding game seems too little (in my opinion, atleast). I really want to know what people think about these possibilities though. 1. Have a winners-league format mini-set. Bo3 or Bo5. 2. Make the "final ace" match a Bo3 or Bo5. | ||

You forgot Savior vs FBH | ||

The op has 2 sets of results... trying to figure that out myself i think what happened was with stx win they were tied so they held an ace match to decide the victor in 1 game edit: live 2 win explains :D + Show Spoiler + On July 19 2009 16:27 Live2Win wrote: After today's result, i gotta admit I feel STX got robbed. I mean yesterday they lose a really close match 4-3. Today they completely dominate 4-1... but it doesn't matter cuz everything is decided into 1 match. Seems like KHAN could have easily thrown away all their games today and still advance with 1 win. It would be freaking epic if they made them play a third round in winner's league format... | ||

This was supposed to favor team depth and stamina, but no. 4-3 OZ wins first match, OZ lose 0-4 the second, JD wins the Ace match, OZ wins. The problem is that, the winner of the first match can just focus on this one Ace game, while the loser must prepare for the whole second set to have a chance FU KeSPa, seriously still glad, KHAN made it, but they were not the better team I'm pretty sure it's the TV stations that wanted this format, not Kespa | ||
