How can they play Bo1 when there's 2 players??

WCS is about finding the best player. BO1 is about the map, not the player. They will all have prepared strategies, as usual, but the map will make a huge difference as to who has the advantage. The more games available (bo3, 5, 7) the greater chance the better player will win.

Bo1's shouldn't exist in SC2 in anything deeper than a Ro128, potentially a Ro64.

Agreed. Because the game is fundamentally flawed and has a significant luck component, unfortunately.

OGN ruining esports... BO1 format will give the highest number of upsets though, maybe that's their goal.

Not really fussed. There will be upsets which adds to the excitement, but overall the top tier players should still get through.

It is neither the GSL or OSL. Its WCS. And WCS, kind of sucks.

Up & Downs is also Bo1 ... People forget that the last OSL ran fine with minimal upsets at the group stage and that was in a more volatile stage of SC2. If there's enough preparation and time between games Bo1 group play is not that prone to upsets. Just look at Dreamhack, plenty of upsets in a Bo3/Bo5 format, likely due to less preparation and playing a ton in a short period.

I wondered to myself a few months back about what kind of impact a BO1 format for GSL would look like. Now I get that chance. I don't expect it to be good, but I'm willing to see what happens.

Round Robins is another matter. Last time they didn't have to contend with proleague as well.

and please bring the gsl bak, im tired of all these event leagues people are trying to qualify for with code s. The big league (skill wise) is still code s but people think it's the wcs global.

Playing bo1 requires a different mind set. I always liked that the up and down were bo1. So if that is tour strength you'd still have a shot at code s

Didn't know what it was at first but now that I look at it it's truly a great format, never had a problem with it in BW so it's cool to see it in SC2 too.
