There is no good reason to have BO1, less games for viewers, easier chance of the best player not advancing, worse games and storyline because players can't react to what happened in previous games. Even if a game was 100% balanced BO1 is still no acceptable especially for a tournament that is supposed to be the most prestigious | ||

So it is practically every day. Tennis matches are not on everyday, they only broadcast grand slam everyday. Golf also not all the time, and they are on multiple TV stations also. | ||

Great TvP vs mediocre PvT Oz < Last Last is actually pretty good at TvP. Not sure about Oz's PvT Mvp > Flying MVP is the Flash of SC2. Best game-sense and game-psychology around, I don't see him losing to anyone, really BeSt < MC PvP in SC2 is so so soooo different from BW that I think Best will just suck hard. That, and Best has gone 0-7 in his recent SC2 matches. | ||

I don't know how you got there, my point was that if time was a concern for sports then why are they not all best of one's, eg tennis matches being one set instead of 5. Also OGN is a dedicated channel and OSL is supposed to be a huge deal for them, so you would think they would be able to devoted enough time to have BO3's. | ||

However, we have to remember that for something like tennis, not all matches are shown. Maybe just the semis and finals (earlier matches are basically just picking the interesting ones). For the other matches, you pretty have to join a really specialised tennis channel to see them. I think only the hardcore would be able to sit through 4+ hours of SC each Tuesday/Wednesday. | ||

If you just count WCS Korea and OSL, then Kespa is ahead. | ||

When there are multiple leagues running concurrently I watch about 8-10 hours of BW/SC2 a day (IPL TAC/NASL/some other NA leagues -> Proleague or rebroadcasts -> GSL). Does that make me hardcorexxxxxxx? | ||

Mvp in worst matchup but should be able to comfortably edge out flying. Could be a big upset. MC in a matchup all about knowing a counter and quickly setting it up, but he's been fooled in PvPs before. Still don't see him losing. On paper it's 4-0 for ESF (although Oz and MC aren't strictly ESF), but I'm 90% sure it isn't going to end up that way... | ||

MarineKing vs. By.Rain: By.Rain is IMO the best KeSPA player so far. He's been the best in PL easily and had a very very strong WCS showing as well. MarineKing is struggling a bit and i think he'll lose. Oz vs. Last: Last did decently in PL but not extraordinarily good. Oz isn't a that good player either imo. But i think Oz will win given the recent Protoss success. Maybe this OSL can be another Protoss vs Protoss party in the end! ^^ Mvp vs. Flying: Hard to guess. I don't like Mvp vs Protoss and Flying had pretty good PL stats. I still go with Mvp as he's a champion. BeSt vs. MC: Well, this is a Protoss mirror and everything can happen. I still hope for a Bosstoss success and predict it to happen. | ||
