Since the maps are randomised, maps don't make much of a difference in this calculation. The more lopsided the maps, even lopsided equally (Such as a map pool comprised of two maps in a TvZ, one with a 90% win-rate for Terran, one with a 90% win-rate for Zerg) the better this is for the less skilled player, but the maps aren't THAT lopsided. The main reason I dislike the change is simple: Less games to watch. + Show Spoiler + Maths shown in spoiler. The possible outcomes are: Red 2-0 Blue: 36% chance. 60% * 60% = 36%. Blue 2-0 Red: 16% chance. 40% * 40% = 16%. Red 2-1 Blue: 28.8% chance. Blue wins g1, Red wins the next two: 40% * 60% * 60% = 14.4% Red wins g1, Blue wins g2, Red wins g3: 60% * 40% * 60% = 14.4% Blue 2-1 Red: 19.2% chance. Red wins g1. Blue wins the next two: 60% * 40% * 40% = 9.6% Blue wins g1, Red wins g2, Blue wings g3: 40% * 60% * 40% = 9.6% Total chance of Red winning the Bo3: 64.8%. Green 2-0 Yellow: 64%. 80% * 80% = 64%. Yellow 2-0 Green: 4%. 20% * 20% = 4%. Green 2-1 Yellow: 80% * 80% * 20% = 12.8%. Total of 25.6%. Yellow 2-1 Green: 20% * 20% * 80% = 3.2%. Total of 6.4%. Green's chances: 89.6%. | ||

EDIT: This has nothing to do with the Higher BO rewarding the player with the better chance to win (mathematically). But, I like how a series plays out between two players. The possibility of long term head games. The comeback after being down 0-2. ETC. | ||

But I don't like the inconsistency between the wcs regions. I think it's best to let OSL be seperate from wcs. I like their format but not for wcs | ||

I think this is also good for the metagame because players will have to spend more effort into practicing to defend the "standard" cheeses, but at the same time it will encourage well-prepared snipe builds. | ||

Someone can easily prepare a strategy for a specific map and then pick that map if they lose a game. Seeing how someone deals with losing to a prepared strategy, timing or all-in is interesting, which is why I like BoX better when X > 1. It's all about reactions and longevity for me, not single map strategies. EDIT: BisuDagger said they "love the drama". I would argue that a Bo3 has more drama than a Bo1, as you have the possibility of seeing someone go full-tilt after losing to a prepared strategy or all-in in the first game etc. which you will rarely get to see in a Bo1 format. I actually am saying I love the drama. Not sure who this "they" is. And the drama I'm referring to is all you people out there freaking out about bo1's. It amuses me to hell. So thank you all for picking up some pitch forks and getting angry cause the more drama the better. | ||

(I can only imagine how many OSL's Bisu might have had if GSL format was used.) | ||
