instead of "boring rounds" like the semis where there was only 2 people playing in a day, we would have all 16 people playing and it would be very interesting. there would be a table listing the "score" of each player - that being the number of wins i suppose. i think it would be easy to understand. it would be like a golf score table, except not negative. i would rather see 7 games between different players, than one huge Bo7 between the same 2 players. you would get a variety of matchups and maps every day. OK, so as an alternative, what about the "double elimination" format? I believe it was used in the round of 32 ? | ||

As a spectator it is also good that the game that you are watching matters. It would be terrible to watch lots of games that didn't really weigh heavily on the results. I respect the standpoint that you want the best person to win though. | ||

Sure, it awards luck more than the swiss system but what fun would it be knowing that the favourite will certainly win it? Unpredictability is essential for spectator sports. That is the worst part of bo1. You can lose a favorite against a random who have practiced a nice cheese on the map? And I do not like the attitude we have, we are trying to avoid the best from winning, I think we should keep the bo3 all the way and a bo5 in semi and finals. So Bo7 basicly gets borring because the players is not able to practice so many maps and strategies. | ||

Swiss just isn't as exciting as say Single/Double elim. You just don't get to see those games where you're one game from elimination. Seriously - would the finals have been as good as they were if it weren't for JF's awesome comeback? you tell me Exactly. Pressure = excitement | ||

Unfortunatley they said not releasing replays were part of their sponsorship contract with Razer...so yeah...not gonna happen.. | ||

The length is close to perfection. The only thing I would look into is making the finals a Bo7. DB would take too long and all the players have a fair shot at the top prize. | ||

I would actually find that very exciting indeed. But i don't want to take a stance. TSL is good, doest matter how it's format is. I woudn't like to see Ro32 though. not even 16 actually. Ro 8 + semis + final is good. maybe put the final and losers on the same day. First losers and then the 'grand finale'. Would build up excitement more i think. | ||

I also found the RO8(?), where we could see 2 matches casted, more interesting than the 1-day-1-match format of the semifinals/finals. I personally would've preferred a BO7 finals, too. I admit its would be pretty long if all 7 games had to be played. But on the other hand, if we would have had a 3-0 in the finals this season I would have been slightly disappointed. Another thing I would love to see is casts of a group stage. Imho group stages are very cool and you get to see more different players (at least 4) on one casting day. Although I don't know if this is possible with the TSL's format. I mean it would be kinda weird if you would cast the group stage but not RO 32... On a serious note, I wouldn't be disappointed if you guys would keep the format for season 2. I don't think it was bad at all. | ||
