EDIT: Not saying that in the spirit that everyone else in their respective team sucks (they don't), but rather, that since this setup puts a ridiculous importance on having one powerful ace player, it'll boil down to EffOrt vs. Jaedong- all the CJ supporting cast had to do was win 2 out of 5 games in one of two series and EffOrt did everything else. Same will be true for Hwaseung if Jaedong can consistently beat EffOrt in ace games. | ||

edit: After reading, the reasons for posting the spoiler-ish front page is ridiculous. After TL's been bashing on other starcraft sites for spoiling results on their front page TL goes and does this too? That's fine if it becomes the norm but this is the first time it's ever really happened and thus, no real need to bookmark the forum index before now. | ||

It all kinda seems... unjust. One bo7 was better imo. This format definitely benefits the teams who have a single strong player and hurts the team with depth, but no stars. Super-Ace is stupid and doesn't really show the better team imo, which is what proleague is all about right? Funnily enough, Khan beat STX with Super-Ace even though the overall score was better for STX (3-4 4-1). Either best of 3 bo5/7s or one big best of 14 would be what I'd prefer to see personally. That said, I'm glad CJ got through. : ) | ||

ROFL, and it was the Samsung Khan fans defending the very same format when STX won more matches overall (3-4 4-1 --- 7-5). | ||

Thus, we'll hear some more format complaints again. I'm 90% sure on that. | ||

That's fine if it becomes the norm but this is the first time it's ever really happened and thus, no real need to bookmark the forum index before now. I have to agree. I have vivid memories of Chill bashing GosuGamers for putting results on the front page. However, I think GG.net had "Someone beat someone else" while this news post is a CJ picture and "Conquered." TL is a little more subtle. I'll try and think up a suggestion for website feedback that prevents spoilers for fast news posts. Something like: the image for the news post is replaced with an image that says "Spoiler!" unless you click on the blue box. The image is then reverted 24h from the TL calendar listing. Edit: Oh, and the news post is sick. Fantastic writeup. I appreciate how fast and well done the news post is even if we are arguing over spoilers. Edit2: Apparently making the front page image more ambiguous solves the problem. Whatever works.  | ||

Point out the Khan fans complaining about the format! Plexa and Klive5ive are MBC fans. edit And I wouldn't say they are complaining. | ||

I absolutely love how the FANS of the teams help write a large part of the newspost, not just outside people who were chosen for ProLeague write-ups. Major props to ITW and H_B, as well as everyone else who was involved. Looking forward to SKT1 finals, I want to write-up a victory like this ;D | ||

I can't agree with this more. From an entertainment standpoint the format seems fine (a single super mega ace match is kind of neat) but as far as "the better team winning" its fucking absurd. Increased set to best of 7 (a good idea!) is nearly totally negated by the fact you're playing a goddamn BEST OF TWO and the chances of a series ending at 1-1 is a near certainty. | ||

Good job, guys. We'll get you next time hopefully. | ||

We're taking our Proleague coverage to the next level -- ESPN here we come. You guys should take the final step and just call the News section e-Sportscenter.  tbh, it's better than the real Sportscenter, at least during baseball-only season. | ||

I was really in shock along with everyone else when I saw this match and I seriously had thought that it was all over for CJ. Where Khan had 4 chances win, just that one more win while for CJ, it was all or nothing. But to see that a new rising star has prevailed within this playoffs, I am simply amazed and excited of what it is to come over the next couple of weekends. I have to say though, CJ is definitely on a big roll that just won't lose their momentum nor morale anytime soon after this. A comeback that is utterly shocking to most of us as we almost thought this was going to be it. So tips of my hats to you CJ and especially to Effort. You have won the game, the match, the thread, and the hearts to a lot of us (not Khan fans obviously... ^_^) and proved to us that (-_-) > (^_^). However, like I stated again, SKT1 is still stand strong and even as a loyal fan of SKT1, I can see this is going to be one tough huge blood bath battle between these two teams. Yet, I do believe that SKT1 can prove victorious within all this but that's something we must see in the future..... Not to mention, OZ is still there standing in the path and way of the Grand Finals for CJ. They may not be as strong as one may thing, and they may definitely not produce the levels of play Khan, STX, CJ or SKT1 have performed but out of all the mist, Jaedong still stands tall and | ||
