Whose going to be player roster for Team NV tomorrow?

I love to see Maru, Percival and sOs in the tomorrow matches. Both DRG and Bunny have GSL schedule incoming just a day after, so they may play earlier to avoid exhaustion or sleep deprivation.

Is that possible to change the team's player roster after one playoff series?
For example, Team NZ list DRG, Bunny and Maru for the matches with Kaizi, and then changes to Maru, Percival and sOs for the matches with DPG.

I think you can change roster between team matches, and sOs will also play Trap in GSL on Monday as well. So either all 3 of them taking the WTL off, or none of them will. If I have to put my best guest, it would be DRG sOs Maru against Kaizi due to strong anti-Terran picks. Then it would be sOs Bunny Maru against DPG. I dont think DPG will play both of their Zerg players, so that leave a rock-paper-scissors scenario where you want sOs play against Cure, Bunny play against Dark/Rogue and Maru against Zest.

Are we even sure that they can only field three players? There was a week there NV played four because Maru came on as the ace after not playing any of the regular matches.

3 players / team match, but ACE match can be anyone on the team, not just from these 3. But for the playoff, you probably want to send your best 3 players including the one who will play the ACE.

Does anybody know if there are plans to release replays of WTL playoffs? Or is there any way to get the replays of WTL in general?

The scboy tournaments have never released replays before (Chinese tournaments in general), I don't expect this to change.

I would prefer one match per week in the playoffs. Yesterday, Afreeca Freecs and Shopify Rebellion had to prepare for two matches: their first one and then the one against Kaizi Gaming directly afterwards. That felt like a big advantage for Kaizi, who only had to play one match on that day and could analyse the current form of their opponents when those played their first match. Lambo even said in the interview he hadn’t had time to prepare for Kaizi.

I guess that's simply an additional advantage for the team finishing higher during the regular season. Then again, KaiZi also had to prepare for two opponents, while NV and DPG really couldn't do much of anything regarding specific prep other than take some guesses as who would make it through to them. One match per week would also not work really well once they do the playoffs offline again, as it would drive up the costs.

This format comes from the former CTC/GTC playoffs which were held offline in China, and I believe they won't change it since SCBoy says they are willing to bring offline event back when China's policy toward covid–19 allows.

So, sOs just sit and enjoy the today matches?
