seriously if one team is better then the other it shouldn't loose a best of 3. And if it looses, the better team has won. That is not how it works. Being the better team means you have a better chance of winning. This chance is never 100%. Obviously the bigger the number of games in a series, the higher is the probability that the team which has the higher chance of winning actually wins. Do some betting, and you will see the truth of this.
This may be true, but there is also another philosophy in other sports that you can take. In boxing there is only one "game" where even the underdog can win. And still the underdog who just had a lucky K.O- hit immediatly is the new world champion.

So you're proving our point? Different tournament structures for different audiences.
Nothing wrong with Bo3 in LCS then thanks for agreeing.

Curse has a pretty beastly team fight with 4 heals, but Mundo is just asking to be dived repeatedly with no flash.

It is literally impossible to have a debate with you if you're going to spout shit like this, and not because you've made some amazing point, but because you're an insufferable idiot who doesn't understand why these games are being played. These formats are THE ABSOLUTE BEST at what they are designed for. Hint: it's not finding the truly best team.

In your completely subjective opinion.
Watch the games.

Which do you think is legitimately better though?
Do you seriously think bo1 is better format than bo7 though?
Obviously there are real restrictions in real life, such has how injury prone football is in comparison, but ideally you would want to have decent game # set.

So instead of having a tournament we should instead just play a billion round robin games in a Swiss tournament and then declare a winner.
Riot should hire you to head their ESPORTS department.

Thank you so much. Next stop would be maybe to be a little less lenient with the veteran posters. People like cheep get away with a bit much x.x, even with all they add to the discussion.

I'm taking the logical extension of your argument for the lowest variance method of finding the best team, which is in fact a Swiss bracket.
Might as well just not bother airing it and have the teams play on the ranked 5s ladder and then everyone can spectate!
LCS doesn't exist to be competitive, because we know already that NA is not a competitive region. The up/down format, patch cycles, and tournament structure are there to be as entertaining as possible so that people can ESPORTS.
You're delusional if you think entertainment and viewability isn't the single most important factor today.

I wonder why Quas really favors that mundo for this 4.5 patch. I figured it would be pretty meh now a days.

I never said it wasn't an important factor, but obviously in this gray scale it leans too far over for entertainment.
But I don't think it's as bad as you guys make it out to be if it was bo5 after each week. I mean LCS every week during seaosn is essentially 4-5 games a day for 2 days a week. A bo5 each day, 2 days a week, for 3 weeks, isn't a far cry over their regular season time schedule.

Your formats don't find the truly best team either though. They might remove slightly more variance, but there is still room for doubt, while reducing entertainment value for fans.
The two most popular sporting events in the entire world play best of 1s and don't even have a loser's bracket, it's not a coincidence.

He's right though, if your main goal is to find the best team that is the best way to do it.
For some anecdotal evidence. I have a couple of friends who play LoL on a pretty much daily basis and also like watching LCS (though they only watch EU) and they even think a single bo3 that goes to 3 games is too much LoL for a single night and they'll get bored probably before the series is over. Days like these with 3 bo3s they won't even bother with because they're too long. I think they're more representative for the average LoL viewer than people here like wei2coolman.
