The problem with this format is that it eliminates strategic elements that make cws so appealing compared to one player series. Let`s take an hypothetical matchup between TL and Millenium. Both have a clear standout player (Taeja/Forgg). So if the two teams would face each other the top priority is to eliminate the opponents ace without risking your own one. That`s where snipers come into play who use very specialised styles. But if you can revive your ace over and over the cws are decided basically in a bo3 of the aces.

I like the format quite a lot, but the extra two revives per season are too much. Even TaKe was confused by it as he said that a week before that a team can't revive twice per clanwar. The rule isn't even fair for the teams it is used against (these should be the weaker teams but yesterday it was used against stronger teams~~).

I see the joker/mercenary thing as a transitional thing. If the league succeeds to establish a healthy clan scene, it should be abolished in the next season. I think the rule was included because there are so many individually sponsored players/small teams around TaKe that he didn't want to exclude them (Grubby, Targa, Monchi, Xlord, Socke).

KOTH system is much easier to organize and more exciting than multiple preset matches. There should be other team leagues that use the other format, though.

I like the ace-revive thing. It gives more weight to the star player. Obviously, this is one of the parameters how much you favor imbalanced teams vs balanced teams. In the end, the crowd judges if they like it or not as it's a matter of taste. I liked it in the NGL1 already and there was this funny little Chinese tournament, Road of the King, where the clan war was played trading card style (with cards like "revive", "change map", "block opponents card", ...). Not saying that the RotK format should be used in highly competitive tournaments, but it was fun once in a while.
