And I also see that Bo5 is taking over rapidly, which is good. With LOTV games taking -5 minutes each less, pretty much at minimum, a normal 4 Game Bo5 will take generally less than a previous 3 game Bo3 did. That's good. | ||

I'm sure whatever annoyance ByuN and RagnaroK feel for innovation and soO getting a second chance is offset by the fact that now they, too, will have a second chance when they lose. | ||

It seems that SpoTV has no interest in doing anywhere near as much SC2 as they did last year. But even if the recent backlash did convince them otherwise, changing the Bo format mid-season is a lot tougher than just adding a losers bracket. What do they do about Group A, count the results as is? Replay from scratch? Finish off the series from where they left off? There's no neat solution. | ||

To me, it is just plain logical, yet i have heard no discussion about this from ppl in positions that matter... Boggles my mind... As this thread demonstrates, these discussions absolutely are taking place. They're just taking place behind closed doors where fans have zero access and input. To us these might be questions of tournament and competitive integrity, but to some of the owners and investors involved, they're just questions of money. "Can we make more by running fewer games and more commercials? Can we phase out SC2 in favor of other games?" That SpoTV reacted this quickly and this strongly to fan backlash bodes pretty well for fans in the long run, I think. | ||
