How is Bo5 worse than a finals on a bad map pool with no vetoes?

Define "bad", please


Pretty sure there's a picture of the current map pool in the dictionary under the word. And no vetoes is bad even on a good map pool. Ideally they'd have a bigger pool or repeat 2 maps.

What do you have against this map pool? Just because you can't play captain standard man on every map doesn't make it bad.

I'd say Bo7 is too short. I want longer finals, not shorter.

Anything shorter than a Bo69 final should be considered a joke tournament.

The higher the X, the less luck is a meaningful factor to decide the result, thus the more "skill" is important to determine the winner, and surely what we want to do with these competitions is to determine who's the best player of the tournament, not who's the luckiest.
And I try to avoid McDonalds. That shit is tasteless and expensive (relative to the food quality).


There are just too many variables and too many ways you can do it. You will always just find out who is the best in a given format and thus it is for the best to have the tourneys vary, so that different kinds of players can shine.

Do you think Tasteless likes McDonalds?

Burger King is much better. Nothing like a good Whopper at the end of the week with a large vanilla Coke to wash it down :D

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?

Going colossi was retarded... You had to expect ultras. Even if you don't expect them and think it's broodlords, scout carefully. I guess you get that wanky decision making when you always all-in.

to be fair a tournament rarely crowns the objectively best player. You can lose to a team mate, get an unfortunate series of events in a group of death...

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.
