I really dislike this format. Players often staying in games they would normally leave in a bo3 or just cheesing all the time. Really prefer the gsl format.

Disappointing results to be honest.

It's an unbelievably tense and great format.

Exactly. People like Stardust who go for the baserace end up wining, which might be exciting at the time, but cheesers end up winning in the long run, wich is boring :\

This ain't GSL, mate. This is OSL. And this is the format they've always used.



It is neither the GSL or OSL. Its WCS. And WCS, kind of sucks.


Not only this but also this is Starcraft 2, not Broodwar. People seem to forget this important fact when talking about how "OSL has always been this way".

I don't care too much about the format though. BO3 is better, but BO1 is not the worst thing ever.

I'd love to see the Bo3's come back. I need more high level Korean SC2 content! I just don't think we get the same quality of games that we do in longer series. Too much cheese, too little macro.

I approve. Makes that one game all or nothing, much more intense. I love the idea.

I agree. Even in the Finals, a Bo7 I think is too much. Best of 5 would be just fine. Makes the games more important, more intense, makes every encounter and mistake that much more magnified.

RO16 is still BO3 round robin, better players still advance, why can't we have something different?

Anyone who doesn't approve is retarded.

Bo1 matches in a group in ro32 is fine. Players have to win twice and are are allowed to lose once if they want to advance to ro16. Sound familar? Winning twice and losing once is the same as a bo3. If Bo3 in ro32 in a 32-player bracket format tournament is fine, then why would bo3 ro32 group-format tournament be any different?

They're both the same. People who are disgusted that its "bo1" format don't know how to put things in perspective.

tbh, i dont care what ogn does in there league, neither for code s. but if theres a WCS sticker on it, and the rules change every season back and forth... thats awfull.
wcs should have bo3 because its blizzards intention to provide a tournament in every region so viewers can tune in for the evening. in a bo1 theres 5 matches... include some all ins and its over in an hour (aditional 2 hrs for advertising, ok). anyway, ONE format for wcs (at least in one region). esl and mlg (probably nasl too) stick to the gsl bo3 system, so we have wcs eu/na bo3, wcs kr bo3 when goms in charge and one stray dog.

I like it, because you see more players and a greater variety of games in shorter. That said, it´s fine that Bo3 is the norm and it produces better results, but there is simply more than enough SC2 content to watch, so cutting it short is nice.

I like Bo1, if a player loses a game, they lost a game, tough luck.

I hate the way in a Bo3 you can go for a quick all in or go super eco if you're a game ahead.

I think the main issue is that I prefer 16 player tournaments over 32 player ones. The Ro32 always feels like a huge a chore to me in the GSL, it's longer than the rest of the tournament combined yet has a lot of subpar players.

I think for the purpose of qualifying (especially with sc2 being reasonably volatile, and the fact there are only 4 seasons per year) they should have a more dense qualifying process with more games played. However, if the Ro32 is going to be part of the main tournament I actually prefer the best of 1, simply because it allows us to have two groups per day and drastically shorten this part of the tournament.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

drama makes people sad T^T
fortunately it can makes few laugh... but still...

thought WCS was a whole blizzard tournament? why wcs.eu premier bo3 and wcs.kr bo1
allowing koreans to compete other region to equalize foreigners skills...

oh it makes sense... more games for foreigners to improve and catch up with koreans...
but still... it's such a chaotic format bracket...

I absolutely cannot express how much I hate the Bo1 format. I am counting the days until it goes back to GOM's control, and I swear not to give OGN a red cent for ruining my favorite tournament.
