With changes announced for the new season, fans remain divided. Some of the biggest changes include no winners league and no ace matches.

no winner's league is something I don't think that anything I say would be taken seriously because of the tag I wear.

Why are Koreans reacting negatively towards two sets of games on Saturday and Sunday?

They struggle to find time to watch the games.

Bo5 with ace is pretty imbalanced for certain teams, but damn no more epic games

No winner's league? What a shame, I always thought some of the best matches happened there.

i dont have the time to read the article so im just gonna ask here
no winners league is a shock to me already but whats up with this no ace match thing?
we gonna start seeing a league system similar to football where a tie is 1 point or something?
and i dont see how fans could be divided on this...no winners league and no ace matches just made scbw lose so much entertainment value

That picture only clicked when I saw your email address at the end of the article.

Back to back Bo5 will probably average out like 4-5 hours or something, some days it'll be longer, some days it'll be shorter. It's a big time commitment if you want to keep up with all the games played (but it's not like they can't watch vods later if they need to be somewhere else, I guess it's mostly for the people who want to watch live?). I wonder how many people will stay for both matches.

Guess we'll only see All-Kills in the STX Cup, that is if it's still running.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Its Bo5, so it cant be tie @.@

At the very least, I was hoping it to be Bo7 no ACE match...
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

There can't be a tie as it's a bo5. It's just that if the 5th game is needed, a player who has already played can't play again in the 5th game.

Completely scrapping winners league may not have been the best idea but im positive that many many people myself included grew extremely weary of 1 trick pony teams. IIRC KT finished rounds one and two below ACE? And then with double winners league...

Sort of understandable that they can't televise during peak hours due to clashes. Why don't they consider a online broadcasting service instead?

Ace matches are unfair to teams who don't have super players like Flash and Jeadong... I understand why they want it removed...

Sadly it's still a terrible idea.

As opposed to when MBC and OGN used to stream games concurrently??
