Bo5 is fine, we get to see the very top players, not the B teamers, and the matches are already quite long to watch every monday and tuesday. Going to Bo7 will result in lower level matches, longer days and will require more decent players to skip travelling to other events because they have to work on proleague. Trust me, Bo7 will not result to lower level matches. It will lead to way more excitement | ||

Sure it stops matchfixing somewhat, but on the other hand players won't be able to prepare really specific strats. Maybe it doesn't really matter that much, but as of right now i would rather see bo7 than double blind picks. Completely new and crazy maps maybe even the most important part for me atm | ||

Completely new and crazy maps maybe even the most important part for me atm well there were things like map snipers who's job was to prepare strats specifically for a map. The most extreme case of this was a phenomenon called, Neo Brave Reaction. + Show Spoiler + he literally played just one map the entire season, other than outlier which happens to be the outlier(puns!) meaning that even the random non first string players get a chance as snipers. | ||

With the exception of the other team KNOWING for sure. I think this is a good thing because it allows for more specific preparation. All of this is only really important when we have interesting maps though i guess, so who knows. | ||

Funnily enough, even the people who watched only SC2 Proleague have now watched 3 seasons and are fully entitled to being skeptical about or disliking the idea of blind lineups. People that watched chiefly BW may remember double blind fondly, but not everyone. I prefer the current format. | ||
