Other than that it should be amazing. The tournament would go on for too long then, it already stretches from 14.00 to 23.00. People have work and school the day after | ||

People have work and school the day after I know that, I'm only talking from a selfish perspective in what would make it a better tournament. Still, if there was the will and no unforseen happens, I think you could easily squeeze a bo5 in there for the semis at least. Take the worst case scenario and we get to only see bo3's and bo5's (23 games) and multiply that with an average game length of 20 real life minutes (don't think the average game is long than that) and we get 7,7 hours of game play. That's about 21.40. Of course there will be delays, but I think the average game length will be shorter and not all series will go the full length so it's doable with good planning. Preferably it would be spread out over a couple of days though. | ||
