Really dislike the move to Best of 7. I really want to see more Maps, not less. Sort of feels like a move to be more like Proleague.

LG-IM isn't unstoppable. In a bo7, having 10 amazing players isn't much better than have 4.

Regardless, super excited for the Fantasy to begin. =D

Well, they've got more choices- if you had 4 players good against protoss and 6 not particularly and you were up against a team mostly composed of protoss, you'd be better off than if you had 3 players good against protoss and one not.
Or if you had 2 good terrans, one good zerg, and one good protoss, once you send out that one zerg/protoss they are in danger of getting sniped, then you have much less to stop players really good against the other two races.

Exactly. A player good in one match-up specifically is in a lot of trouble against IM, because they have at least one very strong (in HotS) player of each race. FXO was like that in WoL, but we don't really know how the FXO Trifecta is doing in HotS yet.

Also, at the LG-IM house:

YoDa focusing on TvP practice to snipe Dear.
Mvp/YongHwa focusing on TvZ/PvZ to snipe Leenock.
MC focusing on PvT to snipe GuMiho.
Then you have the backup team which are all practicing too.

At the FXO house:

Well great, we have to prepare for YoDa, Mvp, First, YongHwa, Seed, NesTea, MC, Happy, LosirA, RagnaroK, Ruin, ByuL...

If there ever was a team against which I'd recommend practising fundamentals over specific maps/strategies, it'd be IM. You can't even prepare snipers because they can just laugh and send out 4 players you didn't even know existed and still win.

In theory.

I'd never underestimate FXO during GSTL. But right now, IM's momentum is too strong. I think IM will take it, hard to even snipe them due to their gigantic roster.
