They kind of have to, they have 9 players on their roster. I don't think SpeeD is on the level of Flash.
Flying on the Jin Air hype plane. Lets go Maru, Rogue, sOs and the handsome CJ herO

Hope Trap wins this and shows it wasn't an accident.
Sadly he would be taken down by Zest right after.

In an all kill format, you need only 4 players. Life, Stats, Zest and TY are all better than Flash, so why bother sending Flash out at all?

Zest and Stats will fall to PvP shenanigans teached be the godfather $o$ himself
Life slumps anyway

I gonna mine some salt when it happens.

Oh and when Trap fails, $o$ or Maru will do some dirty work.

Flash is the right pick over Stats at the moment. Especially since Maru is a Protoss killer, and Flash might have a bit more chance against him.

Sorry for my ignorance but I can't seem to find any information about the format of the playoffs.

If KT is to win here, will there be a game 3 or do they need to not lose more than 1 game?

Thanks in advance.

Last year they played a round 3 if scores are tied. The 3rd round is a best of 7 just like round 1. Not sure if anything has changed in this regard, but I don't think so.

Oh god Flash is terrible. If Life doesn't slump then KT wins. If not then Jin Air wins.

Edit: scrap that, Life doesn't care about proleague anyways, and KT training ruined him. Jin Air will win.

To be fair, TY was straight up played into Pigbaby's mindgame while Flash just being the usual Flash and gave us quite a sloppy game against Trap where should have won but threw away the game from his hands. So I do believe that TY is the better choice compare to Flash.

Also, Pigbaby>Baby. The Pig part makes all the difference!

PL format for 2015 season:

When the regular season ends (reg. season = 4 rounds of round robin), the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seed are determined. This year it's SKT, CJ, KT and Jin Air respectively.

Then the post season starts. This year (last year was a different format) we have a Bronze match, a Silver match and a gold match. Bronze match = 4th seed vs 3rd seed (Jin Air vs KT). The winner of the Bronze match moves on, to play the 2nd seed (CJ). And the winner then plays the 1st seed (SKT).

The Bronze and Silver matches are in fact a Bo3 matches; these 3 matches are played in 3 consecutive days. The first match of this Bo3 is played in regular PL format, the second is all kill format and the third is regular PL format again. Today we saw the first match (regular PL format) of the Bronze match (KT vs Jin Air). Tomorrow we will see the second match of this Bo3 (all kill format).

The Gold match is not like the Silver and Bronze matches. It is a single Bo7 played in PL format. This is the PL 2015 Grand Finals (sick production, outdoors venue, etc.) and it's all the first seed (SKT) has to prepare for. The winner of this single Bo7 is the Proleague 2015 Champion.

Hope it's clear enough. Don't forget to cheer for KT tomorrow.

The only thing that isn't clear to me is what is different from this year to last year. This sounds identical to post season 2014

Last year, the #1 seed nevertheless had to play a Bo3 against the #4 seed, while the #2 seed faced the #3 in another Bo3. The winners of each respective match met in the finals. This year, the #4 seed (Jin Air) face the #3 seed (KT). The winner then faces #2 seed CJ Entus in another Bo3 for the spot in the finals against #1 seed SKT.

So this year, the best team in the regular season doesn't really participate in the playoffs. Their "playoffs" is a single, Proleague format Bo7 - the finals.

I was confusing post season 2013 with post season 2014. I'm curious why they changed it from 13->14 and then back again this year. Other than this format is much better

But last year's format gave no advantage at all. Where is the reward for performing the best throughout the season?
Some middle ground has to be found

I agree the advantage given to #1 seed is too big. They should play 2 Semis like last year, but allow #1 seed to pick their first opponent instead of forcing them to play #4.

Well i think if you are number one after a whole season of proleague you deserve that kind of advantage (which basically is that you are second at worst overall)
I think that is totally fine.

Sorry for my ignorance but I can't seem to find any information about the format of the playoffs.

If KT is to win here, will there be a game 3 or do they need to not lose more than 1 game?

Thanks in advance.


PL format for 2015 season:

When the regular season ends (reg. season = 4 rounds of round robin), the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seed are determined. This year it's SKT, CJ, KT and Jin Air respectively.

Then the post season starts. This year (last year was a different format) we have a Bronze match, a Silver match and a gold match. Bronze match = 4th seed vs 3rd seed (Jin Air vs KT). The winner of the Bronze match moves on, to play the 2nd seed (CJ). And the winner then plays the 1st seed (SKT).

The Bronze and Silver matches are in fact a Bo3 matches; these 3 matches are played in 3 consecutive days. The first match of this Bo3 is played in regular PL format, the second is all kill format and the third is regular PL format again. Today we saw the first match (regular PL format) of the Bronze match (KT vs Jin Air). Tomorrow we will see the second match of this Bo3 (all kill format).

The Gold match is not like the Silver and Bronze matches. It is a single Bo7 played in PL format. This is the PL 2015 Grand Finals (sick production, outdoors venue, etc.) and it's all the first seed (SKT) has to prepare for. The winner of this single Bo7 is the Proleague 2015 Champion.

Hope it's clear enough. Don't forget to cheer for KT tomorrow.


The only thing that isn't clear to me is what is different from this year to last year. This sounds identical to post season 2014


Last year, the #1 seed nevertheless had to play a Bo3 against the #4 seed, while the #2 seed faced the #3 in another Bo3. The winners of each respective match met in the finals. This year, the #4 seed (Jin Air) face the #3 seed (KT). The winner then faces #2 seed CJ Entus in another Bo3 for the spot in the finals against #1 seed SKT.

So this year, the best team in the regular season doesn't really participate in the playoffs. Their "playoffs" is a single, Proleague format Bo7 - the finals.

I also personally dislike the bo3 semis and bo1 finals, doesnt make that much sense to me

Flash will get the point this time if he doesn't fall apart in his multitask. I want to believe.
