EPTSad for Leenock losing his rematch and Jangbi
Like many said I don't think Life's in good form anymore, which I don't really mind, he has enough time and years ahead of him to improve again.

This tournament format was like this since the beginning of Starcraft only GSL n00bs don't understand. PS: Yes, Life is in a slump. When you loose to a foreigner in a Bo5 you know you're in decline. 1.This tournament format was like this for another game. Snooker World championship has bo35 finals since 1980 (So even longer than the beginning of Starcraft); should we use this as well? MLG has extended series more or less since the beginning of SC2 and still pretty much everyone agrees, that it is bad. 2. It was a bo3. Get your facts straight. And everyone can lose to a foreigner in a bo3. I think besides Innovation everyone, who travels to international tournaments regularely, has already. 3. Even if Life would be in a slump (which, by the way is not the same as declining, I guess you could call decline the derivation of slump), that would not explain, how other favorites like sOs, Leenock or RorO. That is the thing with bo3, it just allows you to mess up once and still advance, if you are the better player. 4. "GSL n00bs"? With a double 0? Really?

You are so right Greenei (and it doesn't matter if OSL has always been like this, right now we are only getting to a ez pz boring win for Soulkey, Innovation or Flash -> no competition) In KangHo´s defense, he was in ro8 in the last season as well, it´s not a total surprise to see him advance. | ||

Also I think that Bo1 doesn't actually suit this format too much and would be much better with last OSL's format (round robin groups with 1 game per player per day), it could potentially produce even better games. | ||

Maybe just wait and see if there will be some random scrub with a champion throphy before you start saying it doesnt fit THIS game, ok? Good players will menege to get to highter ground sooner or later...unless they are Bisu XD | ||

Of course a good player will win it at the end, but it will not neccesary be the best player. If ESL would have had bo1 in the groupstages of season 1, MVP would have been eliminated in the ro32. | ||

I believe that "gsl n00bs" are those who don't know about starleague and its history and the ones that started follow the scene after BW era. lol | ||

In KangHo´s defense, he was in ro8 in the last season as well, it´s not a total surprise to see him advance. By no means I'm saying that Kangho or soO are bad, but they are definitely not championship contenders. I simply don't wanna see random champions like in WoL, I want to best players to win. bo1 is just way too random, I wouldn't be happy if Kangho won, even if he played well till the end, simply cause nobody would remember his victory (same for Sniper or other players before him) despite being in code S for a very long time and being a good player overall. Yes good, but not amazing | ||
