I dunno about everyone else, but I thought the first sc2 OSL was awful. I could excuse them since they were kind of new to the game though. 1 year later and they still don't seem to have learned, well, I can't forgive that... Hurry back gsl! | ||

With alot of luck all of favorites will somehow get eliminated. And then the players from NA and EU will have a way easier time haha. Not sure who does the up and downs though, but if its ogn then only 4 games between players and code B. (though I think gom does everything else) | ||

But you're right, a player can now go from Code S to Code B with only 4 maps played, thanks to OSL. | ||

So what do you suggest? hold a some kind of TLMC for people who only appreciate standard repetitive play & circle-syndrome maps? And pretty sure these "few" players & coaches know the best lol | ||

I didn't think format could change so much between two seasons, that's so weird... | ||

I miss GOM already. This is why blizzard should impose a universal format. Its slightly different in each region or whether gom/kespa are running the korea one lol. They should just have ro32/16 as double elim groups, bo3. Then playoffs. Same for "challenger" league. But I think the only way blizz could get everyone working together was to allow them some wiggle room with formats and maps. Really the map pool, map selection process and veto rules should all be the same too, which ever region you play in. I would also love to see "Premier League" be all offline, in every region but thats a lot to hope for. Wouldn't be so difficult to force players to have to live in the region they wish to play, in order to be able to play the event completely offline. I mean does MVP play in EU region from Korea? Probably not. | ||
