EPTPersonally I think it's just way too much of a hassle. Less is more. Too much of a hassle to cover news wise.
What do you think of the OSL Round of 24?

thus you get really soft groups with jack all skill/qualiy games.. which sucks.. Also the wildcard system basicly ENSURES that you'll get through.. two thirds of the original contestants get through, and those 8 are usually the crappy ones that SHOULDNT have been there in the first place ;; Just go back to less players, 4 groups of 4.. and start another torny up... gogo | ||

Fans love it because it's games. Me? I like watching any games with significance. I do skip a lot of games recently due to obligations with other things... but whenver pokering is going on and OSL is on... It's high times~ | ||

 But if it's a T/Z fest, the 24 man tournament makes me want to cry, because I'm basically just waiting it out anyway.  | ||

Well, I guess with a 8 player playoff, this'll be alot easier to keep track of. | ||

i like the group format because we see more bo1s with different players being matched up but i think they might as well have gone to 32 players, and make groups of 4 with top two advancing... it'd be pretty close to the number of games now anyway (with the 3rd place wildcards, although i didn't calculate), and the group stage games would be more important and more exciting. | ||

It also sucks that there are so many games. It is really a chore to stay on top of these tournaments now. I guess it is easier for the casual fan if you just watch your favorite gamer, but to follow everything is almost a full time job. As I have said before, either a better 24 man format (even 32 man with top two moving on) or go back to 16. Personally, one playday a week per tournament is enough for me. It would also open up the proleague more for coverage. | ||

But with the maps and some of the match ups(Like having a week of mostly TvT or something) I find it kinda hard to really look forward to anything but the most hyped of matches. Between OSL, MSL, Proleague and the far too often Super Fights im finding that I dont pay attention to the qualifier leagues at all anymore and I will often skip a week of MSL or OSL if none of my fav players are playing or its all mirrors. And I consider myself MAD hardcore about watching this shit, hardcore enough to consider ordering the Korean pack for Dish network so I can tivo OSL. Hardcore enough to stay up until 5am to watch the games on a semi-often basis. But if im finding my interest moderately waning... I wonder what a casual fan of the game is going to be like. | ||

Definitely think old format with 32 players would be a really good balance between being able to feature more star players along with some new ones and keeping the match count down. | ||

just following the pro-scene anything near "close" requires me to invest at least 5-10 hours a week, and i'm not even speaking about time difference and the influence on my sleeping habits -_- less games including higher quality players would be very convenient for me, that would also decrease size of the VOD torrents, which take a lot of my traffic and online time away. racial balance is another issue, but that is not the leagues fault, its the toss players' incompetence. | ||
