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

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.

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 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.

by 3 hatch before pool, you mean overpool and then get 2 extra hatches?
