EPTAt least with GSTL / all-kill style leagues it would typically end up with the best player on the winning team even if a minnow upset one of the top stars in a match. With PL style, it's possible that one upset by a lower level player makes sure the title can't be defended for months at a time.

high possibility that'd be the same person in this case, unless roro loses the finals/will have lost another series after winning the GSL i dont really know if there is a good solution tho, because if you rule out BO1s, then proleague can never pass the UWC, making sure that at least half of the kespa players cant even get it anytime soon (unless is somehow bounces to an oversea tournament). Maybe just naming the winner of HOTS-GSL1 the new UWC will be the quickest solution (unless bear would play in the first week for SPL, R4) | ||

I for one won't stand for Opterown's devious attempts to dethrone Bear's legitimacy. | ||
