Since day1 and day2 are not identical, your formula is quite wrong.

And well, of course it's a proof. It's a proof that describes the notion that whoever wins the super ace wins the series.
Wow. How long did it take you to figure that out?

The fact that the percentages for day 1 and 2 are different is a nitpick really. Replace the p variable with p1 and p2 and nothing really changes. the result is the same.

On a more theoretical level, using one percentage for both days is correct if you think about it from the point of view of before the lineups for the two have been decided. You can still assign a theoretical single winning percentage by accounting for all possible combinations of lineups and the probabilities of each occurring.

Also, the proof describes that Super Ace favors teams with better aces more than the single Bo7 format. That's a non-trivial result.I thought the result was obvious as well, but if you go back and read StarBrift's post you will see that not everyone agrees. I'm not posting a proof for no reason here.

This

+1. I've never liked that one game decides everything, it seems really... off to me.


Honestly, they should get rid of ace matches. Just play the Bo7 all over again if it's 3-3

Gustav's right, but bear in mind that the difference will still be very small for a team like Oz vs CJ or SKT due to the fact that their probability to win a Bo7 is very small and the chance of JD winning an ace match isn't guaranteed.

Just force a random Ace from the players that actually played in each team. That forces less "one mans" teams and no Ace sniping.

I like the excitement it creates, but i don't think it's fair or that it represent the team league idea.

Bring back Winners League format. Sniping, map decisions, who to send first. Way more cool!

Starcraft's main foundation is 1v1. A true team league is impossible given the current progame teams and will actually distort the relative strengths of each team for it to happen.

It'd be better if it was a bo3 with 3 bo7's total if needed. Though that would make each stage in the playoffs take even longer.

I don't see how Winner's League is any different than this format for putting emphasis on star players rather than team depth. You had jaedong all-killing everyone in WL also, so it's not much different. Not saying WL wasn't really fun and exciting, but I just don't get why some people are trying to say that it put more emphasis on team depth.

If they keep it two days, should just do overall wins from the two days. If its tied, then super ace. =\
