Showtime's win is a brilliant achievement. However, Im quite annoyed about the format this year of Blizzcon. If we look past the fact that the 8 WCS Circuit spots are effectively welfare spots, my biggest gripe is with the group stage Bo3.

Blizzcon has been a Ro16 Bo5 since 2013 yet this year, the year when foreigners are present, the format is changed to a group stage Bo3. It's well known that a foreigner has a much better chance of beating a Korean when it's Bo3 rather than a Bo5 and also having a second chance in the losers match.

Is it too much tinfoil hat thinking or have Blizz really done all they can to give every advantage to foreigners this year?
