Wasn't it really anticlimatic or something? Since the first one went 3-2, and people were like aghrhh I need to sit through another BO5? Maybe that's the aLive effect though... | ||

I did like the dual Bo5 one in IPL4, but I suppose this isn't as bad as it could be. Bo7 or even Bo9 would be the best imo, but this is at least indicative of IPL's ability to recieve criticism from the community and take it with a good heart. | ||

I guess it's fair, I'm just a bit scarred from IPL4 when I started watching at about 6PM I think and the finals were at like 7AM (or later, I don't remember), I was tired as fuck, the sun started to rise and by the time the second BO5 or whatever the format was started I was almost passed out and decided to go to sleep. As long as the schedule is fine, I'm all for it, but if it's incredibly late again, I'd rather have it be quick. | ||
