Bo3 until Round of 8, semifinal and final Bo5.
I trust the staff to do so, everything else would just overdo it.

Bo 7 Final Split so it's less tiring for players casters staffers viewers

First 3 games One Day
Last 4 potential Next Day

Give the momentum some time to rest so that someone couldn't ride it to victory! If down 3-0 maybe the loser can come back 4-3!

That is quite possibly the worst idea I have ever heard.

I think Best of 3 for RO16 is good, with Best of 5's after that. Best of 7's are simply too taxing on both viewers and the gamers themselves. The mental strain of having to possibly play 7 games is simply too great. Plus, if it happened to get down to TvT finals, I don't know if people would be able to sit through 7 games if it went to 7.
God Bless

bo7 is too much. People who want that probably don't have candy discipline either. :\

I <3 bo7, just becuase it forces the players to have really good mental willpower. I might change my vote if it's a bo7 TvT though.

Yeah once we actually get to the best of 7, people will be complaining that it's dragging on too long. Bo5 is fine for determining skill, and it's still exciting.. even if someone wants to bunker rush 3 times in a row.

I voted for BO3/BO5, but was really surprised to see the BO7 one was winning. What are you fools thinking?

According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

For those concerned with for the players: They have all played far more than 7 games in a row to get to this point. (i mean practice wise)

For those concerned about the casters: They have all casted more than seven games a day to get to that point.

Doesn't anyone remember how unsatisfying that last cast felt? I wanted more, especially after getting TWO bo5's the weeks leading up to it. So I think bo7 is totally fine. OR an extensive postgame analysis. I think the finals should be more of an EVENT, with questions sent in afterwards and stuff.
