This is good news for the korean sc2 scene !
Even tho think the korean scene will struggle this year with so little to play for :/
Hopefully there will be a few "smaller tourneys" in between the GSL and SSL seasons.

One more victory for the (fictional) Players' Union !
edit : though changing a tournament format after it started is clearly a sign of bad organization and panic-mode

I wonder why the format from 2015 (ro16 groups & ro8 single elim) needed to change in the first place. But of course now a full double elimination is nice because you can mess up once in ro8-ro4 as well and bracket luck plays a lesser role.

YES! There's a chance that iloveoov's Dream will become Reality! Go soO!
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

They actually considered bo.1? I don't think that would make a legitimate tournament in sc2. More like a joke tournament.

I agree. Bo1 is a terrible idea no matter what imo. Too much luck involved. Spawning locations, build-orders etc.

...the important question is how the hell did they come up with this idea for something as big as the SSL? even regarding possible commercials/ads venues it makes absolutely no sense...

I like the new format more but changing the format of a tournament after the tournament has already started just reeks of unprofessionalism to me. How about you just start off with a reasonable format in the first place?

... they were convinced their format was reasonable but were convinced to change it by the way the first broadcast turned out?

Wow SpoTV, way to be assholes. Bo1's, really? Guess if they had the chance they'd be glad to dump SC2 if given the chance.

Bo1 was used in Brood War OSL Ro16s and in the WoL OSL Ro16. Granted, those were 4 player round robin groups, so each player played three games. But that still makes Bo1 carry the air of skillfullness.
