That kind of matches lack of time to prepare for the players and the only factor thats important is mechanics and skill for improvisation.

Billard games with pockets are stupid anyway. Why would you want to cut holes into a table? Carambolage is where it's at!

Actually (for the finals at least) they have a ton of time to prepare, and often have a team of other top players to work out specific strategies.

But the Chess world championship also happens every few years, after which the defending champion has to play a challenger. I don't know if I'd like to see that in SC or not.

The problem is that SC is changing too fast. Patches, metagame shits, etc. A player that wins the championship in one year might be much worse the year after.

I think playing BO7 would take a lot of time each day (if we also count the preparation time, breaks in between, etc.) and players would prefer to rest instead of preparing the series. Taking into account they will be playing 12 days.

We're nearly halfway there guys

The sheer length of this showmatch fills me with joy in a 'sadistic for everyone involved' way

I remember this map from TLMC. It's really cool.

3:00 Second reaper for Bunny. Snute's zerglings are complete by the time Bunny gets over there.
4:00 Factory on the way. Snute researching Zergling speed.
5:00 Third CC for Bunny. Another queen being added for Snute. Bunny getting a starport.

it's so cool that is so close and the guys are taking this seriously unlike one of the Huk vs Idra showmatches where they just didn't give a fuck and only trolled
edit: or at least I think the other one was Idra. It was so long ago, maybe in 2012. But I do remember Huk trolling

Bunny getting a starport. 6:00 Reapers + hellions go to work on Snute's third. Snute is already getting a third. Snute is sending units across the map. Fortunately, Bunny keeps hellions at home after the first two.
8:00 Bunny 61 vs Snute 69 Two evolution chambers for snute. Snute getting five more extractors. Two engineering bays are on the way.
10:00 Bunny 78 vs Snute 93 Both players getting +1/1. Lair is half done for Snute. Bunny getting two more barracks. Bunny's banshee with 7 kills is driven away. Snute is spreading creep pretty quickly.
