I think people are mad because they think the regular format is supposed to favor the team with more depth. | ||

If they were just doing a normal BO7 they would still have to win an entire match. The difference here is that even after they win that one they still need to win the other or take the ace match down. So if they lose they still need to win a BO7. But the problem lies int he fact that OZ has less of a chance of actually winning a BO7 than both CJ and SKT1 because they have only one solid threat as opposed to the tripple threat of SKT1 right now (not counting Best) or the extremely well rounded CJ that imo has atleast 4 worthy aces. Imo the only reason CJ lost to OZ is due to overwork because they are so far into the leagues. OZ members (except Jaedong) only has proleague right now. I'm not sure if you're arguing that this format is better for OZ than one BO5 or than one BO7. BO5 is obviously better for OZ no matter how you view it. If it were only one BO7 it would be like it is now but with less risk for SKT1 to fall to OZ snipers who devote 100% of their time into taking out one player at one map. Now atleast they have to practise for more matchups. Hot Bid's reasoning is correct. I'll just make up some numbers for the sake of making the example easier. Let's say Oz's chance of winning a Bo7 vs CJ is 40%, because CJ is a deeper team, and that Jaedong's chances of winning an ace match is 80%. In a normal single Bo7 format, Oz's chance of winning is 40%. Simple. In this format, Oz's chance of winning is (chance of winning both sets) + (chance of winning 1 of the two sets)*(chance of winning super ace). That is, (.4*.4) + (.4*.6*2)*.8. This comes out to .544, or 54.4%. | ||

Then why did Hwaseung win purely due to ace match just because Jaedong won? If teams split the bo7s, there is a super ace match which determines which team advances. Oz lost the second bo7 after winning the first. Jaedong won the super ace so his team advanced. | ||

If you think about it, why should the numbers matter if a team wins a set? I mean if TeamX wins with 4-0 or 4-3, it's still a 1-0 and 3 points. If the second game ties up the score I really dont think it's fair to give the win to the team that lost less sets since the score actually is 1-1. The real question is if the third game should be played between just two players or if it should come down to a last Bo7. Personally I like the format - if it comes down to 1 player in the end it will still be a teameffort if that single player wins because of all the blood and sweat they've all shared in practice. And it would be stupid to say that another BO7 is more fair - it's rather just tipping the balance to other teams, than how the balance is tipped atm. | ||

It's dramatic and I suppose it's not bad in a spectator-perspective. Just don't find it overly fair in an example like the last semis.. | ||
