it sucks but thats the way it is. if that was the case then ro16 would also be bo1. theirs actually 0 reason for it to be bo1. it's always been bo1 seems like a pretty good reason to me. the GSL of 2011 was bo1 in the ro32 Yeah, and no one wants to go back to that. Everyone agreed that when GSL moved away from bo1 that it was a good decision, and it is.
Be careful saying everyone, I prefer prepared Bo1's. It makes the matches that much more intense and favours those who prepare the most. It's the opposite of the MLG/DH structure of a shit ton of generic games with little preparation. With the bigger maps and longer games these days Bo1 can work; as it did in BW and still does in proleague.

If all-ins weren't so effective in SC2 I'd agree with you. But I bet that we'll see cheese in at least 2/3 of the games. And that will suck hard.

Leave it to OGN to ruin a good tournament with BO1s and terrible new maps.

if players can't win more than 1 out of 3 games they probably don't deserve to advance anyways.
bo1 group stages makes for more anticipated / exciting box games imo but personally i don't mind either format.

Lots of people in this thread have never watched an OSL before I see. Just think, it used to only be 24 players in the dual tournament. Having 32 is like cheating.
It clearly shows after reading a lot of the the comments.

every player have to prepare only 3 maps
the first map only 1 matchup
the second map 2 (max) matchups
and the 3rd surely is the least prepared
so i'll expect cheese only in the last game.
and if the interview ask the players their opinion about the format, it would be great

It's still double elim, you guys need to quit complaining. They've been doing it this way for a decade and did it this way in WoL. It'll be fine.

Well obviously not everyone as it every single living being in the whole world, but the vast majority.

the group E bring all the hype No, only one map is listed because loser picks next map. Format has been confirmed to copy GSL's already, so BO3s as normal. They're playing 2 groups a day. It's bo1.
Wow really, OSL's format is FUBAR.

Some how group G and H has 6/8 ESF.

It's not that JangBi has become really good, it's also that Fanta and Losira aren't that good, especially vs P.
I'll give you that when it comes to Losira. Especially if JangBi takes to the skies. I'd like to see him be super aggressive. As for Fantasy.. I think that's more of a toss-up man (no pun intended). JangBi and Fantasy tend to have a lot of close games usually so I think we'll see Fantasy rise to the occasion to give us a good game.

So psyched for this, shame it's bo1's though :/
|
One thing I really don't understand : the WCS system is supposed to be the same for each country... Why didn't they just apply the same format than GSL ?
I think the fact that this format is different is really bad and is a step backward. Uniformization should be the key to a WCS system and instead, we just have different maps and different tournament format.
|
I thought we were over with the BO1. Sigh...
And I was hoping for Blizzard to unify the most the 3 WCS tournaments by making the closest formats possible between the regions. This one will be absurdly far from the other ones.

They are no doubt constricted by sponsorship. Or lack of thereof.

I hope my reputation as an anti-elephanist would allow me to say following without stirring any shit up:
i think theyre just trying to ensure there are ESF guys in the playoffs for excitement purposes.

This should be the last WCS event that OGN get's to host. Blizzard should just let GOM do it from now on and let the OSL be it's own separate event. bo1 and unknown maps is really absurd.
KeSPA must be really flexing their political power now that they've got a such a big pool of talented players.
