^ What

There's 7 maps to be played on per set, and there's two sets.

It's basically a Bo2 of Bo7s

Exactly, Oz just needs to win 1 set, with 2 players fluking it, which is quite possible, then JD cleans up in the final ace match if the sets are tied. So JD needs to win 2 games in 1 day and 2 Oz guys need to fluke it in one day, then JD cleans up in final day by winning Ace match. I see it, Jaedong winning PL + Golden Mouse would be epic.

Yeah the 7th map is a "closer" though. You could send Jaedong out on that too.
Then you could send him again in the Ace.

To win overall you only need to win 5 games. 3 of which can be played by the same player!

Ha ha ha.

Oz is fucked in this format for sure. They are the most shallow team in the league. (That sounds kind of wierd, lol... I mean in terms of being opposite of deep)

/facepalm

indeed, humonguos facepalm at for_the_swarm. As is described on the last page, this is better for Oz if jaedong has awakened on the right side, they get 2 bo7 to scrape 2 wins from random players on the same day to claim victory.

Well, it's an easy assumption to make just looking at the stats - 13-13 in the MU according to tlpd.

Doing a little more poking around, it's 10-10 in Proleague, and the only qualifier is that most of the Zergs who lost are bad-to-mediorce Zergs playing decent-to-good Terrans.

So I'd say yes, GG can pose some problems (for a bad Zerg?) against a strong Terran - it's a Zerg-favored map, not a Zerg auto-win map (Battle Royale what?).

Yeah but this time Oz gets two chances + the ability to awaken angry Jaedong after JD or Oz fail.

which is why its utterly retarded to try to judge anything off stats, especially a 26 game pool
its massively z favored. ya if ptak plays against flash its gonna seem pretty tough zvt. not otherwise.

I am honestly confused by why anyone thinks this is a good idea. Extend the match to a Bo7 for playoffs, fine. Less flukey, favors the deeper teams, etc. it's a great idea.

This? Much as I understand that the stations would argue over who gets to cast what...

1) Don't the teams get any say in this? I can't imagine this is making anybody happy, especially CJ (MSL), SK (MSL, OSL), hite (OSL). In fact, given that last one, I'd half expect hite to just throw the games so they've got the practice time back.

2) If this is a KeSPA scheme, KeSPA goes back in the PR this month.

3) WIth this many games to play, in the middle of meaningful individual league games, these games are going to be terrible. Too much play for bad players. On the other hand, KHAN suddenly looks to have a shot - nothing else to practice for.

4) A normal week of PL, 12 teams playing, has up to 50 games, minimum 30. Up to 30 games, minimum 16, for four teams? You have got to be kidding me.

5) Suspense? What suspense? Saturday's games... don't really matter.

I guess you can try to justify it by a comparison to Champion's League football or whatever, but that's sort of different, given the whole bit where it's possible to win there with an aggregate 1-0.
