I'm hoping it's BO3. 5 rounds of 3 matches played simultaneously (with a feature game broadcasted for each round), so we get to watch 5 games live at least. | ||

I'm hoping it's BO3. 5 rounds of 3 matches played simultaneously (with a feature game broadcasted for each round), so we get to watch 5 games live at least. It is neither BO1, nor BO3. It is 2 games. So the score can be 2:0, 0:2 or 1:1. So each player will play 10 games. | ||

So it's like home and away games format, 10 matches standing on its own (1:1 counting as a win each, instead of a draw)? Quite a neat format. The only worry with so many matches stretched out is that you may have a runaway leader with a 6-0 or 7-0 record and he takes his foot off the gas in his last few matches (unless finishing top comes with some seeding perks). | ||

A comparable group in the old system would be zest, maru, reality and losira. Group of death? not really. Group A: TY, soO and Bomber (closest group in my opinion, Trap and Cure are strong) Group B: Classic, sOs and Gumiho. Group C: Dear, Rogue and ByuN. (the last player to come through feels like a tossup) Group D: Maru, Zest and herO. | ||

We are used to groups of 4 were 2 advance, a group of death usually meant we had atleast 3 players of real star quality were its hard to tell who is actually going to advance, group D is pretty damn straight forward in my Eyes, Zest, Maru and herO. The other three are scrubs in comparison. A comparable group in the old system would be zest, maru, reality and losira. Group of death? not really. Group A: TY, soO and Bomber (closest group in my opinion, Trap and Cure are strong) Group B: Classic, sOs and Gumiho. Group C: Dear, Rogue and ByuN. (the last player to come through feels like a tossup) Group D: Maru, Zest and herO. i wouldn't call reality a scrub he has beaten quite a lot of high level players in proleague. I think it's certainly possible he advances from this group. | ||

Super took Inno, Dear and Gumiho down last SPL. I would say he is at least equal to Reality, they are good players sure but they are scrubs compared to Maru, Zest and herO. In my opinion anyway, ofc you may think differently, but the result will speak for themselves  | ||

Aka the ladder map pool. Will be interesting to see how much downtime there'll be between games with this format. | ||

For groups there always was just the option to vote for players who will advance out of the group. In this case it is 3 out of 6 instead of 2 out of 4 That's probably the problem here. | ||

Since it's bo2 and 3 out of 6, maybe it doesn't work either way, so anyway... | ||
