Usually they spend a lot of money to have a huge venue for the Grand Finals and having that last 3 days would be too expensive.

And it would make it less intense. A Bo3 Final could only match the intensity of a Bo1 if it turns out to be 1:1 after two games.

Ah right, good point.

If they were to do a best of three for the finals, I would think something like this might be feasible: match 1 in the regular studio because you know that the series won't end there. Then match 2/3 in the big venue. Cuts down on cost a little and you may not even have a third match.

I think a series can be intense even if it was a sweep. Just because one team may have won both matches doesn't necessarily mean they weren't close.

I fully expect Jin Air to beat KT in the finals.

I just hope the games are good on the way there.

Nah man, they will mirror builds. Zest will cheese to try to trick the trickster. Meanwhile sOs will cheese because he's sOs.
