Just because Effort won the super-ace doesn't mean the entire thing was carried by him. If his team mates hadn't won in the previous days, they wouldn't have had the super ace.


Plus, let's swap CJ with Oz.. would you guys be complaining if Jaedong won the semis via a super ace?


All that aside, I hope CJ can keep going and take out SKT in the grand finals! ...I won't eat my underwear if they lose though (GTR...)

I'd say Effort did carry his team quite heavily. Sure, so has Jaedong for Oz, and the playoffs format facilitates this- but I'll keep on calling them EffOrt Entus until that one player stops being the only one in the team delivering a solid performance and dependable results.

Effort's play was so sick, hoping for a JD vs Effort in day 1. These two make ZvZ something else.. something magical.

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.

The problem is that you think that a Bo7 should give the team like STX an advantage over Khan when a Bo11 would be the best for STX. A Bo7 is not that much different from a Bo5.

Thanks for the article, such an epic night.

format lol

those complaining about depth, two bo7s means teams with more than 1 player have a much better shot at it. lesser players on those teams have to train for two matches on consecutive nights.

yes, super ace is geared more toward one strong player, but PL was always about that. every match during the year, every bo5, 40% of the wins could come from one guy. so a bo7 with an ace really isn't that different.

plus, this format has given us some of the most intense, drama filled, crazy games we've had. its like 2x more insane than a normal ace match. can't complain about that.

Amen to that.

That would be because you saw the second picture, and not the original one. The original one made it pretty obvious who was the conqueror ;p

The current picture doesn't convey the emotion the original one did, sadly, but I'd rather have that than possibly spoil the results to more people.

I was gonna say something like this

I mean if you have a deep line up and play against a team who was one superstar who is definitely gonna be sent out, just think about how much of an advantage it is that that ace player might have to prepare for 5 (!!) games instead of 1/2.
Just think about how movie owned leta.
The amount you practice for one specific match makes such a huge difference.

Even much better example for that than movie v leta is + Show Spoiler [GOM spoiler] +

Okay. So I guess STX won't be looking at a podium finish for quite awhile then.

all this rabid fanism is great. this marks the time when SC moves into a true spectator sport.

both teams did great and put on a great games ( sept FBH ) I feel more sad that Khan did not win because they don't even have anyone in the individual leagues... wonder what they will do for the next month --->

also I dont think OZ has a shot at CJ, but we will see...
