Not sure how much I like this, tradition is important but bo1 has the potential to make upsets in the ro32 happen that shouldn't otherwise happen. WCS KR is already the most difficult region to play in, we don't need to make it more punishing. | ||

This choice was much easier for the WCS S1 finals with Apollo & Day9 and the lounge etc. | ||

Forgo tradition for the sake of making the first round competition not completely stupid, please. This isn't BW. | ||

Im not a big fan of OGN so far in SC2, think they did an extremely disapointing job with the WCS finals... Also if its really true that they make it Bo1 in Ro32, that would be extremely sad - and would be a huuuge turnoff for me. Im actualy looking way more forward to WCS europe season 2 this time around then the WCS Korea. | ||

Not only the BO1s suck because they can create a weaker top 5 by creating fake upset in the begining, but it also means less matches for us :-( | ||

I forgot about Code A, aka "Challenge League". That's pretty cool that GomTV will still be the on-site broadcasters for Code A during Season 2 (while remote casting Premier league). | ||

It's ok in Team leagues, because one loss isn't that big of a deal there, but in an individual league... it's just too punishing and will result in a huge cheese fest. | ||

OGN has better stream quality, camera production, intros and venues. | ||

I've never understood this at all. BW was just as unforgiving for cheese as HoTS is so what's the big deal? The better player should always and mostly will always win the first game in a Bo3, in which case it just means they go through rather than the other guy having a chance to bring it back. Being the best means you have to be the best in all situations, not just "Best of" matches. It's about knowing when to prepare cheese and when to play it safe in a Bo1, if anything I'd say Bo1 leads to more interesting games as both players know everything is on the line and will fight harder for the game. | ||

It's more about consistency within WCS, it doesn't make sense for me to have KR be the most competitive region and the most unforgiving region, when the other regions give the same amount of money. If this was just OSL I would be fine with it. | ||

Nicely said. On a side note, that video at the end gave me chills. Seeing Boxer, Yellow, Nada, Xellos... damn times have passed. edit - Plus I think the Bo1 is also due to time constraints because its on national TV unlike Gom (correct me if Im wrong). | ||

Them Koreans will be compensated for the prize cut in a weekend tourney called season finals later  | ||
