It's not really random luck since you still have to play and win your game, and being Bo1, it is still anyone's game to win even if they get matched up against MVP or Nestea. The advantage of Proleague format is that you are for SURE getting more exposure for each team, and that the skill of the entire team matters much much more than those 1-2 man team (for example, DRG all killing like half the matches, etc). In effect, it's much more representative of a team's strength as a whole. | ||

MVP is good enough to continue the streak in game 4, if the team needs him, he's incredibly reliable and game 4's are required wins for teams that get to them and MVP fits that, and if they managed to beat MVP game 4, depending on who they think will be the ace, they send neatea or MVP back out. does that make sense? the fact of the matter is Proleague format makes sure the best team wins consistantly. yeah flash gives his team an incredible advantage and this season pretty a free win every time, but the rest of his team needs to be there. if BW proleague was all kill, KT would send out flash. and based on how he is doing this season, win. Proleague format also makes individuals winrates more consistant with how good they are. in GSTL, unless you win 5 games in a row, you are guaranteed a loss just for going out first. it also makes things like bisu's stupid amount of proleague wins last season MEAN something, he didn't just destroy ACE in an all kill a few times, he dominated consistantly against every team. | ||

Well said. I wouldn't mind switching to proleague because I hate carries. Yeah, Jaedong carried Oz for forever, but it wasn't nearly as bad as DRG carrying MVP the past 2 team leagues. The entire rest of MVP was completely awful throughout all of group play, getting I think 3 wins total. | ||

The entire rest of MVP was completely awful throughout all of group play, getting I think 3 wins total. and then there were Jaedongs slumps being brought up by overwork. he carried OZ for a few seasons, then had a slump and then had to go back to carrying. all kill formats are exciting, and i don't necessarily think it's a bad format, but it's definitely not as good for the players/teams. it's mostly for the viewers. you don't build a team by having everyone hold up the best player, you build a team by everyone supporting eachother, bearing equal weight, the strong hold up the weak, ect. thats why proleague format is so good, at least to me. | ||

@Seeker: Maybe you can add the lineups of the teams. It's always nice to go through the roster. | ||
