And yes, I would be rather unhappy if we had months of ro32 and we only had games 2 days a week and they all broadcasted at the same time. Wouldn't you? EDIT: By you I mean ammanas, not baron. Yes I would. I would also be sad, if all the leagues in the world would be playing the exact same format, which is actually inferior for player's preparation.

Fantasy probably gets screwed the hardest here, spectators won't know if the match is planned out or not and SKT as a team will be accused of match fixing or will take shit for having no team spirit if Fantasy wins. It's retarded as hell and easy to avoid. But hey, gotta stick to traditions no matter what. But I guess, when you are thinking of this as WWE or just a glorified ad, instead of competition, then it doesn't matter if the format allows players preparation for every match or not. This format is more about competition, less about 'dramas' and 'storylines'. If that's what you expect out of Starcraft, then really we watch it for entirely different reasons. And I don't understand, how you can call round robin format random and terrible. It's the format used in competitive everything for the longest time and it is used for a reason... | ||

If memory is not failing me, once upon a time, there was an up-and-down group with Zenio and Inca (Both OGS at the time), where in the last match Zenio was already through (or eliminated, don't remember) and had to play Inca, who needed to win to advance. Inca was notoriously bad in PvZ and ended up winning, and there was a lot of suspicion being thrown around that Zenio migh have let Inca win. I think after that GOM realized how bad of an idea it is to let teammates play last. | ||

Imagine if we'd see fantasy play without supply blocks and just stop Rain. And then after the game he is like "yeah, during the last week I figured out the game." | ||

Again round robin can be excellent format if u apply certain rules. And this osl version is just terrible as hell. | ||
