 Serral going 19-2 is frankly redonkulous. | ||

Pretty much every single modern competitive game uses the format of: 1. First Map being neutral, pre-determined, or randomly selected after Veto. 2. Players Blind pick Units. 3. Loser's Map Choice (Stage/Zone/Field/Battleground/Map) [Before the next game, 1st to occur] 4. Winner's Unit Selection (Race/Character/Composition)** [Once the Map has been determined] 5.. Loser's Unit Selection. **From this some organizers choose to enforcer winner's to be bound to their choice until they lose, but that is up to whatever the TO wants for their event. Reasoning for this is pretty straight forward since it promotes the closest series possible. Race changing is fine if it happens in this manner. Finals being shortened is absolutely fine if both players agree to it. All a longer series does is increase the chance that the better player will win (unless they are incredibly fatigued). I enjoy watching Serral's games regardless of opponent, but the tournament didn't lose much value from omitting potentially one less than ideal competitive match. | ||

It felt rushed when clems semifinals winners interview was skipped, the finals was shortened and we kept having to hear the casters say production is telling them to hurry up. Again, most of that is understandable and I'm okay with, it was a long day and I imagine people have flights and etc they need to get to in the morning but those were the areas I would say I felt it. Overall though I don't want to make this post too negative, I really loved the event, I thought it came out beautifully and I have been watching for 10+ years and am incredibly grateful you guys and your passion continue to support starcraft! | ||
