It would be like a Ubisoft trying to push around the BBC or CBS. Blizzard can't really force them to do anything and if they want to run their own format and that is the price for showing it on TV, Blizzard has to deal with that. These sorts of deals are not made with "Its my way or the highway, take it or leave it" stances. That is not how business deals are made. If you try to act that way, you just burn bridges. Plus OGN has a better card to deal with Blizzard, if you watch broadcasting content on OGN channel for all of week and prime times? SC2 is not Best Contents to guarantee viewers from position of OGN, they has LOL tournaments that the most popular Esports Content Currently that means they are not in desperate state than Blizzard But rather Blizzard wants more to OGN goes to broadcast on TV for promoting WCS in Korea since LOL is The No1 Esports contents in Korea and it made by powered of OGN that broadcasts TV channel to around of Korea | ||

I know Rain said he preferred bo3 for SC2. The better the player the longer he wants the games. More chances to learn, more chances to come back. But do we really want that starting at the round of 32? | ||

We had the same uneasy complaints then too. OSL came and again, idk about the rest of you but I thought it was a very forgettable tournament. Thankfully, the group stages didn't have any real upsets outside of San making it over Byun and Symbol and the Kespa side of things was still in a bit of a flux period but Rain, Flash, etc did make it at least. However, the whole thing just felt totally underwhelming with less opportunities to see really good games. bo3+ at least gives two players more of an opportunity to adapt there play to their opponent and demonstrate varying levels of strategical depth. It tends to favor a more 3-dimensional player. | ||

It tends to favor a more 3-dimensional player. Its a philosophical difference in tournament structure. Lots of games per round = everyone adapts to opponent: but usually leads to a subpar final because we already got to see the players adapting to opponents over 5 hour stretches in the round of 32. Bo1 in the early rounds means Round of 32 is like watching a bunch of ladder games. You either were the better player, or you weren't. By having both (Bo1 early and BoX late) we get to see players be cheesy and we get to see players be adaptive. | ||
