Honestly, I'm probably going to watch the Korean stream exclusively next season. No offense intended, but the English casters don't add anything to my viewing experience. | ||

So if Wolf could not remember ANY INnoVation games except literally the last series INno had played, on the biggest stage in the world, that would have been enough to disprove such a silly idea. | ||

2. New PL maps 3. Incentives to switch up lineups. I want to see players like Trust, Guilty, Super, Zoun play occasionally. 4. Zoom in on the players during critical moments. It really increases the sense of urgency. 5. Revert to the 13-14 point system. SK Telecom being locked into the finals prior to round 4 made the final round incredibly boring. The 1 vs 4 and 2 v 3 bracket of the 13-14 season was much better. Waiting for months just to see who would play SKT in the finals severely decreased my interest in PL. | ||

That would make things more interesting, and it's more realistic than Bo7 every happening! its not that unrealistic, your comment on the timeslot might be a concern if proleague was actually shown on TV, but if a tight schedule is a big problem, consider this, the average LOTV game is a shorter than the average HOTS game, rather than fill time with even longer breaks, might as well throw in 2 more games into the mix.

I wouldn't mind if you could hear the korean casters in the background either because they add a lot of excitement. Honestly, I'm probably going to watch the Korean stream exclusively next season. No offense intended, but the English casters don't add anything to my viewing experience. watching korean stream is always an excellent choice. | ||

The English casting could be better but it's hardly something that desperately needs fixing. Yes, Wolf sometimes gets overexcited and says bizarre things that are just patently ridiculous (like him constantly insisting that ByuL is in a huge slump just because he hasn't won a finals, ignoring that ByuL has been clearly the best Zerg of 2015), but Moonglade helps keep it reasonable and honestly Brendan already knows more about SC2 than at least one very prominent SC2 caster I won't name. All I'll say about the casting is please make sure you keep Moonglade and have him casting as often as possible. He's a very good balance of analysis and color commentary. | ||

The only interesting outcome would be B-teamers specializing in archon mode, but I doubt that would be the case. There were players that specialized in 2v2 when BW Proleague had it, so why not Archon mode. Makes sense to me. | ||

2. i actually dislike the fact that the round playoffs system varies from the regular round system. it's quite obvious and historically proven that different teams are better in different formats (remember how CJ was shining though winners league rounds). so right now it's like teams are qualifying through the regular round to play the playoffs with the system that they actually not that good at, and vice sersa. this is why you're better to have a single format for a regular round and it's playoff (if it keeps on excisting) and bring back the winners league round or two. 3. it's greate to have a system of approvement of different language casters. the channels may be all gathered under the proleague tag on twitch, and casters may have to send stats on a regular basis. this can promote the league among the foreing fans, because ppl really need to know why proleague is awesome 1st to fall in love with it, while starcraft is not really a show where the interesting part is obvious for starting viewers. 4. replays after the season would be nice. also, back in good old days fp-vods was occasionally shared on youtube (with a delay of course), which was a cool thing imo. 5. probably you could start an additional show based on 'take comand' in replays. this format is here since it was introduced to the game, however, it still wasn't realised unless the rare exceptions. so what if casters invite players who try to replay some notable games from a turning points to finnish it with the different result. so viewers can better get into the game and understand the desicion making. | ||

It is for the best of all. The fans are happy and he brings more fans with him as viewers. Bo7 would be better. This would let us see more than just the same faces every time. Would like to see more foreigners. Difficult to manage after the egtl disaster. Best would be a quote of minimum 1 foreign player for each team or a foreigners united team with switching players. Both very unlikely to happen, but i would like it. Use of the Archon Mode. One game in Archon mode or the ace match in archon mode would be nice. Btw: Great to see you asking for feedback. | ||
