I want longer finals, not shorter. Anything shorter than a Bo69 final should be considered a joke tournament. | ||

Nothing like a good Whopper at the end of the week with a large vanilla Coke to wash it down :D | ||

Do you think Tasteless likes McDonalds? Hmm not always. Basically think it this way : if in a tournament like GSL all matches were Bo1s, do you think we would always find out who's the best player of the tournament? | ||

I would surely not be against having one weekend tournament like that, giving money and WCS points. Not the GSL/SSL though, these should be the "best" format we can come up with, because they are the pinnacle of the sport. But one tourney, sure. Pretty much the same as I found it absurd when people fought against IEM WC being winner-takes-all - when it is not the norm, but a minority of tourneys, almost everything should be allowed. | ||

I agree on that, I'm not saying that GSL format is perfect. However given the constraints like time (which is main limiting factor that prevents things like Bo5 in the GSL groups), GSL does a good job in that regard. However I don't see what would be the issue for DH to start their damn event 40 minutes earlier and make a Bo7 final. But well.

Hmm I see, OK. Yeah I can see where you're coming from, but without thinking about WCS and this kind of things, a tournament with low X in BoX will always be seen as less prestigious/important than one with a higher X. | ||
