You only need five wins to take the match. Your ace player can take three of them.

It's not a very fair system.

Bring back Winner's League imo. Best part of this proleague season hands-down.

One thing I would suggest although I don't think it would be THAT useful: Super Ace match is a 3rd set of team games which will be a Bo5 so that it doesn't go on for too long (all players anonymous until game time). A shorter alternative would be a Bo3 with players for each of the 3 games said on the spot (ie: no player can be used twice)

No. It's a bad format for proleague, which shouldn't put such emphasis on a single star player.

tbh, there's no way to get a good format that doesn't come down to aces, so I don't care. Single Bo7? Double Bo7 with final decider? They really have the same problem - a team only "needs" two wins from non-ace players. The double bo7 does give a better shot to a "deeper" team in that it gives a chance to come back and win if the lineups screw them the first day. Not that it's happened yet... Oh, wait. CJ vs KHAN anyone?

WL format is ace/sniper dependent with less reliance on your solid day-in-and-day-out players (which could be why teams like KHAN and MBC did horribly at it - they don't snipe very well. Minus the Frozean vs Jaedong incident. Of course, they then proceeded to suck for the rest of the season too so that's maybe not the whole story.) It's much more exciting than this though. A playoff Bo9 in WL format would be amazing...

Okay, now I'm rambling. But my point is, short of going full out Bo3 matches, matches Bo5/Bo7... actually that would be kind of cool. It would take a while though. That would be a lot of games. I dunno.

I think it would be fun to see 2v2 be the super ace, but that's just me.

I liked the old playoff format.
A way to make this format more fair imo is to make the scores aggregate. Say, for example (this is not real, lol), CJ beats MBC 4-3 on the first day, and MBC wins 4-2 on the second day, it should not come down to a super ace because MBC would win the aggregate score 7-6. However, if it is 7-7 or something, then there should be a super ace.

It sucks imo.

If the super ace match would come when team A defeated team B with 4-2 but lost the second day with 2-4 I would be okay with it. In the current state, I hate it.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

make it a bo3 super ace match and I'd be happy. Doesn't make sense to decide two best of 7 matches with one game.
