Soulkey misplayed swarmhosts against yugioh leaving flash a much easier opponent. | ||

Planning a best of 3 is a huge part of the meta game and opening up for a lot more interesting comeback stories. Those are the biggest issues with bo1 imo and I will pray for OSL to die in a fire until they shape up. OSL has always been bo1 and it worked fine, if not great, before. Now they're trying it in SC2 if it turns out that it doesn't work as well (Cheese is a lot more powerful in SC2) then they'll probably change it. They've already said they're open to changing the way it's set up next season but for the current season they couldn't because it was already scheduled on TV or something. | ||

Those are the biggest issues with bo1 imo and I will pray for OSL to die in a fire until they shape up. While I think the whole "the way it was meant to be played" was a poor choice of words, I do agree with most of what Krogan is saying. I've always enjoyed the mind-games that go into a Bo3; players who usually play long macro games surprising opponents with a sudden cheese, etc. And while I don't think you can argue that that is the way it was "meant to be played", I do think there are clear advantages of a Bo3 format rather than a Bo1 format. Also, I seem to recall some pro players (their names escape me at this time) who would always seem to lose the first game in a series; almost as if they require more warm-up than other players, but then once warmed up they really have a chance to shine. It would be a shame if players like that were put at a huge disadvantage simply because of the format. Overall though, there are pros and cons to each, so I'm not too worked up over the format. It's the individual games that really matter  | ||
