If we look at the total amount of games: Code S ro32: 40 Bo3's Code S ro16: 20 Bo3's Code S ro8: 4 Bo5's Code S ro4: 2 Bo5's Code S final: 1 Bo7 A total of up to 199 maps played where the winner can potentialy win the tournament. Code A ro48: 24 Bo3's Code A ro32: 16 Bo3's Code A ro24: 12 Bo3's Up and down: 75 Bo1's A total of up to 231 maps played to determine which league you will be seeded into next season. I get the same feeling with these as I get I get about 3rd/4th place matches; I dont watch them cause I dont care. The winner cant win the tournament anyway. Surely it matters a bit more who starts in code S then finished 3rd or 4th but I dont get the same excitement of a placement match then I do from an elimination match where the winner can potentialy win the tournament. That being said the format is still much much better then the old format and despite everything I am sure it will bring a lot of exciting games. | ||

Who are the highest seeded international players? | ||

I love the new system except for the two group stages bit at the start of Code S. | ||

I'm glad they're moving towards an MSL format. Although it needs to be confirmed that they're BO3s instead of BO1s. I'm glad they're moving to a two month tournament because it creates more time to generate stories. Heck, I'd like it even more if they moved to a 3 month so they have genuine "seasons". That way the prize money could be more evenly distributed to the lower finishers. I'm a little uncertain about only the top 8 being guarenteed Code S seeds. I'd be more comfortable with the top 16 staying, and then make the up/downs really challenging for the bottom 16 of Code S. | ||

Obviously now that they aren't playing out Code A anymore they'll need to think of some other way to hand out the seed. (maybe that korean online tourney thing) | ||
