It's too quick even in group stages. Never mind single elim Bo3.

What's the point of driving everyone out to the studio for half an hour of games? seriously.

i think 5 best of 3 series for a group stage is a very reasonable amount of starcraft, always has been


But games are what, half as short as they used to be? 5 best of 5s in lotv probably takes about as long as 5 bo3s in hots

BO5s can still be really damn long. Players need more breaks and macro games can still take a long time in LotV.

plus i think saying a LotV game is on average half the amount of time of HotS game is wrong, it's definitely quicker but not always

Games will start to last longer once dumb cheesy shit gets patched out (Nydus, Adepts) and players generally get better at scouting and defending the new aggressive openings. It'll take a while.


I wouldn't count on it being patched out any time soon, multiplayer support for sc2 seems to be extremely minimal post launch. they can't even fix the leave league bug.

If anyone is still working on sc2, its on the nova campaign DLC.

well, you should also consider the fact that LOTV is more mentally taxing for the player, considering how much there is to do with things as fast as they are. 5 bo5s is a bit too much.


I guess I hadn't really thought of that. Maybe a full double elimination tournament with bo5+ (depending on the round) would suffice as a balance between content and player mental health


Round Robin Bo3s are the way to go to be honest.

i'm not a fan of round robin over GSL groups but it would be nice to have the round robin group stage just for the sake of variety

I remember the good old times when there was a timer in the top right to tell me when the break would end... and the even older times when shit had English subtitles.

He said, as there is no way for protoss to punish 3 hatch before pool.


1 base all ins beat that no?

Zerg have always (including in Broodwar) gone up to 3 hatches before pool against a protoss who is opening 2 base.
