bo1 srsly wtf why do they change from the normal wcs format? i realla dont get this


It's not "WCS format" it's OSL format. In Korea, GSL and OSL count as WCS but are also specific tournaments.

I think all regions should play out the same way, hence using the same format. I don't understand why OSL is allowed to change the rules.

because with bo1 there are more "upsets" and they think the audience will be more attracted by that while, infact, it's probably the opposite because most people realize how random a single game can be as opposed to a whole series.

That's a strawman. The argument isn't that a bo1 leads to worse games.

If it doesn't lead to worse games and has been a format good enough to maintain an esport scene for 10ish years--what is the argument exactly?

That is because BW was a lot more of a stable game and a good strong player could, a lot of times hold off weird builds or cheeses by just executing his build better, and the later the game got the more you could defeat someone trough superior mechanics. SC2 is a lot more volatile, even after HoTS release, and you run the huge risk that in a BO1 format not the best player will advance.

People don't want to see "the best player" advance, they want to see THEIR FAVORITE player advance. The whole thing is a fallacy. If your favorite player is the underdog mechanically (which alot of tournament winners like Nestea, Stork, etc, are incidentally), and can only hope to win via clever tactics and planning things out on maps, why aren't people crying about them winning in the Bo1 situation? Different Bo's reward different skill sets, one slightly in the favor of another, for the viewer it honestly doesn't matter.

I like that we get two groups per day. I was so bored of eight days of Ro32 action in the past.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Bo1's are cool. I kind of hope some other tournaments adopt them. It was good enough for years, ought to be good enough now.
