Yeah it's so anti hype. I would prefer to give up on the arena but have at least the grand final with players and casters well rested and prepared. Waiting for the final also creates a lot of anticipation, speculation and all that stuff. Shame we won't have that.
But hey, better something than nothing! I'm still hyped. But to be honest, it doesn't really sound like prestigious tournament when all RO8 happens on one day. Compared to IEM and WESG, Blizzcon starts to look like a minor tournament.

Edit:
On the other hand, such format is also a challenge in itself for the players. One might argue "the best" player should be able to perform best no matter the conditions. I am really curious how is this gonna play out. Looking forward to an awesome day of StarCraft!

In like it. Always felt like the pace was too slow before. Get it started and over with in one day is fine.

In one hand. It's an okay idea

On the other. All in one day on the first day sounds something akin to sending the old elephant into the desert to die to me.

I hate this excuse for bad formats. The biggest event of the year should be played with the best format/conditions possible.

The worse the conditions the more likely of upsets/players who are better losing. That's not something that belongs in a serious esport.

At least it's not like blizzcon 2013 where they had to force the ro16+ro8 into one day and people didn't get to watch half the games

I agree, I like marathon style tournament but I'm aware that many people probably don't have the time to watch for so long so I can see why some are upset.

Imagine if we get to the finals with all 3-2 scores and it’s a Serral vs Maru beat down with 1 hour per game that goes 7 games, endurance marathon

Can you teach me your ability to stare into the souls of men and read their feelings?
