Almost all teams would need some new players to even play a Bo7 format on a decent level. Regarding new things to the best of 5 format... I'd assume Archon Mode will be part of this, but beside that? I don't expect very much. ... hopefully they found a team to still make it a 8-Team-Proleague. Maybe some Chinese team that's still around? | ||

Presumably Wolf, Valdes, and Tasteless. On January 27 2016 03:25 Swisslink wrote: Almost all teams would need some new players to even play a Bo7 format on a decent level. Technically Jin Air and CJ are the only teams that would be in a bit of trouble with BO7 because they only have 6 players each (bigger problem for CJ though because their average player quality is a bit lower). So they'd be forced to play the same players every week. That's probably a good indicator of it staying BO5. | ||

While I highly doubt it could happen if the guy who owns iG gets bored you never know. That dude is fucking loaded and could afford to be in proleague if he wanted to I wonder if KeSPA could convince Longzhu/IM to come back | ||

Casting GSL, SSL, Brood war, ProLeague and whatever else he does. | ||

There'll be 7 teams, 3 normal rounds and 1 "special" round consisting of only Bo3 archon mode matches. After each round there will be playoffs, all-kill Bo7. One team will die in the middle of the season because of lack of money, another will crumble under the pressure generated by an unproven scandal. The season finals will take place in a venue, as usual. edit : oh yeah I forgot, it will be broadcasted on DingIt only until ~May, where it will switch to afreeca with restricted quality. Oh god you just want to see the world burn do you. | ||
