People need to stop thinking SC2 is the SC2 in 2010,early 2011. Terms like "volatile and less figured" are just not good excuses for Bo3s anymore. While I agree, Bo3s are better, Bo1s are not an issue anymore. It's better from a scheduling perspective, and as today's games have shown, still show good games.

I think the games have been pretty high quality, and the better play has won.

Byun went for an all-in and failed, It's his fault.

Right, the Bo1's can still be high quality and the better players can still win in that one game, but that doesn't change the fact that the games can go either way, and it also makes the random map choice really retarded.

There's been literally 0 problem with bo1 today at all.

Actually finding it more enjoyable than the GSL groups tbh.

San punches his screen and the completed cannon blocking his nexus cancels itself for 100% return.

People need to stop thinking SC2 is the SC2 in 2010,early 2011. Terms like "volatile and less figured" are just not good excuses for Bo3s anymore. While I agree, Bo3s are better, Bo1s are not an issue anymore. It's better from a scheduling perspective, and as today's games have shown, still show good games.

Yeah, these games have been pretty good today. Not sure what the issue is with this format...
I think BO3/5 is good too, but it's not like these players weren't able to prepare or something. They had tons of time, and I feel that the quality of the games has been excellent.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

SC2 has been out for over 2 years now. The game is definitely starting to become figured out. Hell, HOTS isn't that far away and its all back to status zero.

Bo1 is perfectly fine imo.

It's still more volatile and less figured out RELATIVE to BW. Also, today's games might show good results, but that doesn't change the fact that random cheese and randomness of map choices can POTENTIALLY play a much much bigger (and undesire) role

yes some one sided bo3 are silly and it just takes way too long. Especially when you don't like a match up (PvZ ie) you just skip some matchs. On a bo1 you'd consider watching the whole thing.
Zest fanboy.

forge first, pool first.

both plant nexus/hatch at the same time, though zerg takes his third first. Protoss has a little gate/cannon wall right at his main ramp too.

Yes, and an argument could be made Bo5 is even better and Bo7, Bo9... You can go on and on. But unless they only do 1 group per day, Bo3 just takes too long unless they are all cheese games. You can also argue dual tournament format could be unfair depending on who plays whom first and full round robin is better.

BW was ALWAYS Bo1. Prior to the play-offs. BW wasn't always figured out. This how OSL does it. The games have been great, maybe the players we wanted didn't quite get through, but that's part of the excitement and drama in Bo1. It puts on a show, and honestly I've found today's matches to be better than the majority of the matches I've seen in the GSL.
