EPTWell, I think we all know it's unfair—it's just a trade-off for the sake of more viewership.
Yeah, and a lot of Korean pros retired because of it.

Also, for the record, I've been a fan of Solar since the oooooooooolllld days when he was on Samsung KHAN. My team loyalty remains strong as ever. | ||

That will probably be the worst idea ever, or the best if you really love all-ins and 40minute late games | ||

Seriously, Code S already features a very brutal format- I shudder to think of what changes could be in store to make it even more intense. My guess is that they are dropping the group stage format in favor of a normal elimination bracket, but we'll see. Edit: Excellent interview waxangel, Thank you for doing this. | ||

The standalone OSL they did the year before also had Bo1 group stages, as did all the OSL's in Brood War. Also the 2011 GSL's probably had Bo1 groups because they had one every month and had to get through them fast. | ||

But on top of the code s changes in also confirms that there will be both code s and super tournament; that super tournament top 4 qualifies for main GSL season; that there will indeed be an IEM China this year (with only 16 players), which is fantastic news. | ||
