Which team league format do you prefer?

Well, right now it's different since it doesn't have ace match, but when people say Proleague format they basically mean bo5 or bo7 with ace, set being bo1

Pretty much. The all-kill format has a name, but the other format doesn't really have one.

other - dream league format

five games pre-determined, then the winners of those play in an all-kill format until one team is eliminated

I prefer the bo1 set map format as it gives the opportunity or seeing more of the players from teams, and no longer do teams get carried to an all kill win by 1 player, sure its fun when it happens. but it doesn't really feel like a team event when there's 1 or 2 super strong players all killing ,and the rest are subpar and we never get to see play

I think that the proleague format will mean that the more rounded and deeper team line up that prepared more will be more succesful. The all kill format I feel creates much better storylines such as the qxc all kill on IM and other similar things.

Proleague format is better because you get to see more of the TEAM. It's a TEAM league. not a " our best player will kill everyone " league.

also, you're going to get a lot of people in here that never watched bw and don't understand why the NASTL format is good, so the poll is going to be a landslide.

I used to prefer winners league format, but my opinion has changed recently ;/

When 2 people know their map they're gonna have some good builds prepared for it. As such, proleague will give the viewers better games than winners league.

i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I'm partial to the PL/NASTL format. It's really a test of the strength, preparation, and composition of the entire team. A bit more wholistic style of competition. Granted, the IPL format does give a benefit to teams who invest in high level players, and that is a good thing, teams should be rewarded for shelling out the big bucks. But in theory, a team with 4 bronze level players and MMA could win the IPL team league; and that sort of defeats the point of a "team league"

Still though I don't want to see the IPL change. The fact that they have different formats and matchup styles, in my mind, gives a reason for them both to exist. If they both went to the same format, I don't know that there would be a reason to watch both (after all you'd be seeing the same matches a second time).

So keep everything as it is IMO.

I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Proleague format is way better. It shows which is the better team in a TEAM league.

I prefer the All-kill format but the other format is really important. Since some teams might find it hard to set times all matchups can be played individually at the player's convenience. Then the tournament can cast from the replays.

Genius and sC?

Anyways i like the all kill format better. Makes for fun stories

At the time of the last Team league sC was on fou and genius was ok but not what he was at Blizzcon 2010 or now.

DRG was 13-2 in the last team league, 3-0 vs Slayers, 3-0 vs oGs, 4-0 vs Prime, 0-1 vs TSL, and 3-1 vs IM.

Im pretty sure thats basically a one man team.

I prefer either the old Proleague Format with 6 matches and then a ace match, or All Kill Format, except that not elimination but through league system, kind of like Season 1 2011 or current proleague system 2011, Oh and Best of 11 Finals please :D

Proleague format is much better, hence why Proleague has dropped winner's league. Its just not fun watching Flash take down a team by himself, and I prefer that the better team wins, and not the 'lol im so good' players.

Personally i would love to see some more bw style teamleague.
Set maps
Players chosen for match x have to be set after match x-1
And what i personally liked from the 2009 season:
One player for each race.

All kill format with set maps would be great too, but im getting sick of all kill format. To much

All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

GSTL format all the way. It feels more like a team competition to me, with coaches pulling out snipers and up-and-comers. I like the possibility of an all-kill or reversal by one player.

Just a note.

Proleague format=/= NASTL format.

Proleague format is the selection of the players on the spot, which adds a completely different level to the mix.

i doooont know.
NASTL format allows more hype for the matches, GSTL format allows incredible situations to happen. Both are good.

All-kill format opens a window for new players to rise and sniper like Tails who beat both Nestea and MVP. More games could be played if 2 teams were equally good.

As many stated, its a team league. You shouldnt be able to come very far just by one strong player.
=> Proleague format

But I would like a different format to pick the players. We get so many mirrors if teams just pick based on maps.
For example: teams post players, order gets randomized (you may or may not let the loser pick the map)
