Please stop the tournament comparison discussion. Especially regarding players their runs (Stephano seems to be the current topic). Stay on topic and stick to the games. Consequences will be met out to further derailment.
In addition leave the usual out of this topic:
-Balance complaints
-Map complaints
-Stream complaints
-Caster/player bashing
-Off topic discussions
Logically continue this list with things that are obviously frowned
upon. Enjoy the free and wonderful event with loads of games and coverage! |
Anyone not listening to the chiptune playlist on Apollo stream is missing out! lol

Of course having a bo3 is preferable to a single game, but only if time allows. Compared to the OSL/GSL format, the round robin format plays one extra game per group. The problem with the round robin is that for as many as two games, it doesn't matter for one of the competitors if they win or lose.

The good thing about the OSL/GSL format is that all 5 games matter no matter what, and the people who advance have beaten the people who don't.
....Dreamhack doesn't use bo1. And they easily have time for bo3 w/ the GSL setup as it should take exactly as long as their current one.

Comparing the groups at DH to the groups at GSL, all the players play each other once. If that's not what people mean by bo1, please explain what they mean.
*OK so I was being stupid about the bo1/bo3 stuff

bo1 = best of 1 = playing a match is only 1 game. They play a best of 3 against each opponent.

bo1 almost always refers to the amount of matches played between two players in one go. So, for example, bo1 is one game played, bo3 is 3 games played (or first to two) (which is what's happening here and in most places)
GSL gets some slack for having bo1s in group stages, which can be very unforgiving if you're caught off guard once.
