In the regular season format Rogue would have only played 2 games instead of 8. | ||

Kind of confused when looking at Liquipedia now - it says Solar won the last game? Edit: Ah, it just wasn't updated yet... :D | ||

With the 3 bo2 format, having the best player can only give you 2 points, but TSG strength was that they had 3 player who could pick off maps. Solar and herO were both very favored against every chinese player and Nice was also very good against them, and after that you only needed a single map win against a korean to go to the ace match. Now with that new format you can't sandbag the best player with your chinese player and than play a bo1 against him, you need to beat him three time or he's just gonna all-kill you, and obviously neither herO, Nice or Solar are favored against Rogue and Maru, but winning two maps out of 5 against them is much more doable than winning the 4 you need with that format. | ||

Well, you actually only need to win 1 vs Maru and 1 vs Rogue to eliminate them both and get to the ace match. You don't have to win 4 | ||

So ya you need to go 3 for 5 minum against them (well 2-2 than 1-0), still a bit worst since you can't sandbag one of them. Not saying the format isn't good, just that it favor certain teams. | ||

I think u misunderstood his opinion,what he really meant was the new format of S2 playoffs is better than the S1 playoffs(KOF,and individual format is BO3,which means you must eliminate Rogue through winning a BO3) for weaker team. In S2 playoffs,eliminateing a Starplayers only need win a map, this new format is good for weaker team. Of course,the format of group stage is better for weaker team ,but for a team tournment's palyoffs, KOF format is inevitable. | ||

Technically it's not, he was eliminated due to the tie against Solar, it's just that Solar was TSG's final life. Under this format you need to 2-0 every single opponent for an all kill, as in the traditional all kill format the player needs to be the last man standing for it to count. | ||

I really like it. 10/10 - only thing that is weird is that if you revive someone they can't play the ace, feels like the ace is kind of meant to be the revived player. I guess this is to weaken "one player" teams | ||

The matches are a really good length for "playoffs" (I feel some of these team bo7s are so short nowadays...) Guaranteed 7 maps but also max of 13 is really nice. It keeps that underdog element as well with just needing to pick up one map win to have an impact. I really like it. 10/10 - only thing that is weird is that if you revive someone they can't play the ace, feels like the ace is kind of meant to be the revived player. I guess this is to weaken "one player" teams Suppose both teams already have 3 players eliminated (could be between 3 of 1-1 to 6 of 2-0), then they both revive one player. If the match between this 4th, revived players also end 1-1, they both are eliminated too. Then it is the final ace match. Since both teams' revived players are eliminated, they cannot revive him again. | ||
