One bo5 usually takes about 3 hours with pre-game/post-game stuff and commercials. Bo1 in groups has proven to work just fine for BW... I feel for Tastosis, even with "only" two bo5s per day, those will be some long days. So to summarize: new cool BW torunament is coming, your reaction is "poor casters, having to cast all that bw". You sure are enthusiastic huh | ||

You sure are enthusiastic huh Well their standard work day seems to be about 3 hours of actual casting. They'll have to do 6-10+ now. Sorry that I show some empathy. And tbh I don't see how hosting one tournament makes up for all the crap they have done to BW, even if you just look at their shitty attitude towards ASL since Remastered launched. | ||

How is this math working? ASL Groupstage had one group a day with 5xBo1. Thus five games. 2xBo5 can at max be 10 games. That would at max double the amount of games. But at least you get rid of the setup time which you have for every Bo1 in ASL Groupstage. So for a Bo5 to conclude you have 3-5 games. Avg is 4, so its 8 games for a set which are 3 games more than in ASL groupstage on avg. Thats probably 1hr more of casting, especially if you consider the smaller total setup time for the players. | ||

I'm pretty sure Tasteless and Artosis are more than happy to cast all that Brood War. These games are gonna be sick! Besides, the only possible downside I see is if it ends up being a TvT Bo5. Most Bo5 don't actually go that long I find. | ||

So often, the better players 'overall' are out in the ro16 because of 2 bad games, especially when it comes to ZvZ where its already random enough as it is.. The format we have now, the better players should always advance, and I think that's what is the best for everyone. Also, more games to watch is nice for the viewers. People say it's a lot of games for the players... I mean, not sure how I agree with that. They play like 15-20 games a day when practicing on stream no problem and they barely ever take a break between games. | ||

I really miss those "oh sh*t" zoom ins etc. The only times we see the players faces are before and after the games. Also, some glimpses of First Person Views now and then would be really nice. My apologies if this has been questioned and answered somewhere already, just really curious. | ||
