When it's not playoffs I have no interest in watching B03s.
I would prefer a single map round robin format with games daily instead of on the weekends.
gweees [#4]no B01 is so ass
yes but imagine watching your favorite team every few days instead of waiting for the weekends. Sure it would only be one map you get to watch but it's easier to cherrypick the teams you are actually interested in seeing. and having a regular season format then having playoffs become a tournament draws more attention to the actual tournaments.

BO2 is the optimal format
Neonfreak [#11]You might prefer a BO1 but players need time in between matches and teams need time to practice and improve. Daily matches would be terrible for the people playing them and a nightmare for coaches.
I should have explained better. I don't mean every team plays every day. There would be daily games for viewers to watch. So each team would play every 2-4 days.
PunisherXPR [#8]BO1 would be a coin flip, a shit team could have a lucky map and beat a top team. BO3 is fine, its just the whole weekends-only thing that should be changed
its a coin flip but if they copy the CS system it will be good
jukelow [#9]I agree B02 would also be much better than B03
Lol it's terrible format imagine if u get a lot of 1 1 fans would complain u don't know which teams is better. Best of 1s or best of 3 are the superior formats. Best of 2s is the equivalent of drawing in overtime on a valorant match ... beta cucks !

He prolly doesn't know what bo2 means

The problem with B01s is that it makes it so easy for a team to have a lucky map and beat a team that is clearly better than them. Also having the games on the weekends is overall better for the viewers because the majority have school or work or some form of obligation that would prevent them from watching matches. This is why CS is like impossible to watch for me most of the time because all of the matches are during school time.
personally one of the reasons i like val more than cs is because of the bo3 formats, i never understood why almost all games in cs majors are bo1, plus grand finals only being bo3s...
dont get me wrong, the players and teams are phenomenal, just that 1 map is not a good representation of skill being the 2 teams
plas [#19]how tf do u want teams to play every day lmao they gotta practice and shit
practice between tournaments
kristof [#22]practice between tournaments
this just sounds dumb af because if u proposed this format to a pro they would probably say it sucks as well considering how long groups would be, how is only practicing after a tournament (this game only has 2 opens) any beneficial

no need to give teams 1 week just to prepare for the next team
even football teams dont get that much time to prepare and rest between matches
with daily bo1 format group stages will be over within a week

bro its not the same because the meta in this game changes quickly and teams probably want to have more time to experiment new stuff

ur acting like its changing every week
kristof [#26]ur acting like its changing every week
still this game is very unpredictable and having just one map a day seems very random to me idk

for qualification/elimination matches it would be bo3
like in cs
