...though I don't get the 15-player Knockout Stage. Can't imagine the whole thing would collaps if they opened up one more Open Qualifier slot to make it an even 16... | ||

The format sounds pretty cool though. Nice to have something different and that sounds like it will have a lot of matches. | ||

I think it would be a terrible idea, but this is also the 10 year anniversary of Katowice 2014  | ||

Otherwise the format seems to be good for the tournament favorites. | ||

Bost of 9 is truly a lot... specially if it turns out to be an stomp. Am I wrong in thinking Best of 9 really favors zergs? | ||

Am I wrong in thinking Best of 9 really favors zergs? it also infamously didn't happen in the worst split tournament of all; the $100k winner-take-all Katowice. You can't be so sure that a split WILL happen—you can only say it MIGHT happen. | ||

Probably doesn't favor any terran besides I guess clem since he can win with pure mechanics and doesn't have any injuries. Long story short, yeah probably favors zerg | ||
