I didn't have a long break between semi and the final, wish it was longer personally. Elazer got more rest and also some more thinking time. but that's just luck of side and schedule - top bracket players get a nice warmup like that. Main reason for fatigue overall is probably loud audio levels at venue taking its toll and personally I woke up many times to partying in the streets and hotel rooms. Even if you take a lot of precautions it's still hard to reach home tier level. Just gotta accept that level will drop sometimes

This is why I've always preferred long-form tournaments like the GSL, especially after the group stages. In addition to solving the fatigue issue, we also get to see players actually prepare for their opponents each round. I long for the day when this will make sense for foreign tournaments. There just isn't any way to battle the fatigue issue in these weekend-warrior tournaments.

Well it used to be exactly like that in HOTS. WCS was like GSL with the more advanced stages of it played in Cologne. It was in my opinion the best days of foreign SC2, we we're watching WCS every week and even though some really good koreans dominated the scene, we still had incredibly epic games.

I don't know why people complained about Blizzard trying to ruin Koreans with the LotV WCS changes. In my opinion it was the foreign scene that got the short end of the stick. Koreans kept their GSL, what did we get? A ragtag bunch of tournaments that lead into the global finals. Yeah I'd take what we had in HOTS any day over this.
