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. | ||

Congratulations to CJ and I hope you are good enough to receive a T1 beating in the finals. Khan should be kicking themselves in the ass right now after losing a TvT they were ahead in, a ZvP on andromeda, and a 9 pool vs 12hatch. Not taking away from the very strong play by the CJ players but they were just so close man. Also, this super ace system creates starleague final level tension. Hopefully the next 2 rounds will result in super aces because I love them. On July 27 2009 15:16 moriya wrote: In that sense samsung should be eliminated by stx. Stx has the better overall performance but not a superstar. This kind of argument makes no sense at all. He said he preferred the old bo7 system which Khan still won in. Khan showed they could go toe-to-toe with the deepest line around. | ||

Anyway I admire CJ & Effort especially, they were terrific and deserved their win, but at least give Khan some credit & respect for the way they played, which was excellent too (FBH excepted  ). But maybe you did and i missed it... | ||

This format is: the teams play two Bo7 series, if they tie, the tiebreaker is a SINGLE game (rather than a third Bo7 series). If your team has one titanic ace player who can consistently win his games, in a Bo7 what he can do is make sure he wins his own game, and if two others win theirs and the series goes to an Ace match, he can close that with a win. In other words: He _needs_ his team to win 2 out of the 5 games that the super ace player isn't playing. In the playoffs format, it's the same thing, only your team gets a mulligan. Did all your non-star players lose their games? That's fine- you get a second Bo7 series, where the rest of your team gets another shot at winning 2 out of their 5 games. If they manage to win those 2 games in either Bo7 set, then your super ace wins his game, takes that Bo7 to an ace match, wins that, takes the whole series to a super ace, and wins that too. The supporting cast only needs to win 2 games out of 10 (in the same Bo7 set) for the super ace to carry the team to victory. | ||

Either way, we are all probably hoping for a super ace match with bisu vs JD or bisu vs Effort. | ||
