I don't like swapping out to a specific zerg player for X map to abuse racial imbalance, thus shutting down most of the matchup choices in favor of zvz / zvt every time that map is coming on for example. | ||

All-kill had hyped moments, Billowy taking down the mighty KT rolster even though he wasn't a star player is one of the best examples. I just think that all-kill falls short of the high standard of the Proleague format. I want to watch sOs cannon vZ on a zerg favoured map, winning every game. Ever heard of Ryung, the TvT specialist? He had above 50% win rate even though he only played players with 80+%. I think Maru had 90+% in TvT at the time. The special tactics of Proleague were also amazing. Rogue's herO snipe with researched flying locust, a build that "never worked in practice" but Rogue belived in it anyway, was so unexpected. Yonghwa's proxy nexus for recall, a strategy that hinged on unscouted nexus, made a big part of the crowd open their mouths in wonder. Proleague made it so that a whole lot of players got a moment to shine. A friend tuned in only to watch Rogue do his antics. My favourite part was that the format allowed for a lot of strange, useless and funny statistics could be gathered. How many turrets per game did Flash make this season? What is the average kill per MSC in the first 6 minutes? PartinG had the MSC kill record when he microed the MSC to a victory on Habitation Station. What is the ratio of scouted/unscouted proxies? Even if this poll is focused on the match format, I ended up thinking of the overall Proleague format. PL got better by being an event with set times, mattering a lot to the teams, having great production and presentation, and being offline. | ||

Sums up my thoughts on the matter. One of the things that make team leagues fun and diffrent from individual competitions is that it’s a team effort, allkill although cool from time to time undercuts this. | ||

Proleague is the one and only format. If you do multiple rounds (like PL used to do) I guess it's ok to have some allkill in there to mix it up, but for the most part proleague is the way to go. | ||

There are probably 4 nations who can fill decent 3 players line up (France, Poland, Germany and Korea), the rest would be only stomp. All kill format at least brings uncertainty and potential good games. | ||

Interestingly, I think I remember the last seasons of Proleague also had all-kill rounds as part of the play-offs... | ||

One was literally called "proleague format", the other was all kill. Proleague format was for regular seasons. The terminology is clear. I believe you disapprove of the terminology and declare the poll stupid for your personal dislike of definite terms. That is a common strategy for people who see themselves as above others, intellectually. I hope that you are not like that. | ||

The mixed version can be nice for leagues like NationWars where one team is clearly better then the others to make it interesting. | ||

With events like nationwars though, it really isn't viable as most countries will have only one pro player or so. Allkill makes the tournament at least somewhat competitive. | ||
