I am sure I must be misunderstanding something because to me it looks like they play 5 rounds where every team plays every team, but after the final round there are playoffs based on the results of that round and a winner is declared. This doesn't make sense at all as it means the previous rounds are all irrelevant. Can someone explain to me the significance of the previous rounds please? | ||

It seems like such a far stretch for me as most their players have previously stated they have no interest in playing in Korea. I don't see them picking up and leaving Arizona to live in Korea and jeopardize the popular foreign tournament schedule that EG players have. EGFnaticRC seems to be an interesting thought. I've always considdered Fnatic a korean team, isn't that so? | ||

Remember that the main appeal for sponsors here is getting on Korean tv, and raidcall is big enough in Asia to benefit from that. I was thinking this too. It'd be a bit strange because EG and Fnatic both have a lot going on other than SC2 where they wouldn't need to be partners, but just from the perspective of Proleague, it makes a lot of sense. | ||

1. Are they going to use the same uninspired maps every major SC2 tournament always uses? Or will they allow Rose of Dream wing up great maps like in BW? 2. What is going on with Bisu? It is really enraging that he seems to be fading way because of SC2. 3. At which time is it going to happen? 14:00 KST mid week and 12:00 KST (I guess?) in sundays like usually? 4. Will nanashin stream it, even if it is only SC2 now? 5. Does SK Planet sponsorship again means they couldn`t find new sponsors? 6. What should I be feeling right now? I feel excited about Proleague being back but then frustrated because I remember it`s SC2.... but then there are Jaedong, Bisu, Flash, Fantasy... but it`s SC2 and experience tells me I shouldn`t expect too much from it... | ||

Now players will be able to tailor specific builds against the race and person they are facing that day, which will add even more to the game ^^. Surprised most people aren't excited as hell about it. | ||

This doesn't make sense at all as it means the previous rounds are all irrelevant. Can someone explain to me the significance of the previous rounds please? Each round counts for the final results, based on those 4 teams come up, where the 4th placed team plays vs the 3rd placed team then the winner play the 2nd placed team and finally the winner of the second match plays the 1st. This placing is based on those 5 rounds summed together. It seems this season rounds 1,3,4 will be the normal proleague format (bo7 with ace match) and rounds 2,5 will be all-kill bo7. The team with most wins gets 1st place (counting all rounds) and then they use match score (wins - loses) for tiebreakers.

Standings are taken from the entire season, not just the last round. So a team can own up rounds 1, 2 and 3... bomb rounds 4, 5 and 6... and still potentially be in the playoffs even if they played badly near the end of the season. | ||

But they need more koreans for it, and a house over there aswell. Incontrol talked about "big news" and that stuff. So i assume they will have a house there in a few months and Proleague participation makes lots of sense if you commit so much resources to korea. | ||

We had to deal with this long time ago, and I highly doubt that the scene's going to be safe once the old system comes back. | ||

TL or coL are probably the best bets, based on past participation in the GSTL. EDIT: Maybe EG (based on all the allusions to "big news"), TL or coL. I still fear that EG would get stomped horribly, though. They just don't have much depth to their roster to compete with Proleague teams. | ||
