Bo7

Do you think International Grand finals would be better if they were Bo7?

Let me address some potential concerns before I go into the pros:

• From a viewing prespective watching a 7 map series wouldn't be that much longer than watching 2 bo3s that each go 3 maps
• From a pro players prespective playing 7 maps might be torture but who gaf about them
• Giving advantage to a team coming from winners finals is harder, but 1 idea I had is letting that team fully decide the order of maps (I don't know if this too strong/weak)

Ok now some of the benefits, of a bo7 over a bo5:

• I think double map ban creates situations where the weaker team will actually win since they can avoid their opponents best maps. I understand that's the reward for going to grands finals from the upper bracket but when one side of the bracket is just harder, it sometimes leads to teams getting this advantage undeservedly
• Best team always winning leads to more overall satisfaction at the result of the match
• The winning team proves they can compete on all 7 maps, which I think should be requirement

There is the obvious con of a 4-0 sweep with 0 close maps being more boring than a 3-0 sweep but there is really any sweep that is fun to watch. Thoughts? Would you prefer a bo7 over a bo5?

Edit: On second thought I forgot teams like FNC exists, I thought we were looking at an upper limit of like 5-6 hours but if it's like FNC vs G2 we might end getting double that time

I UP YOU ONE MORE MY GOOD FELLOW

bo9

we not reading allat add a tldr at least

would take like 4-5 hours bro

now this is flat out stupid

I watched a JP T2 grand final go for 9 hours last year

BO7 would be horrendous

"but who gaf about them" 😭

this would make me want to settle for 3rd unless you do bo7 for lower final too

but then imagine making grand finals through lowers
you have to play potentially 14 maps in 2 days

This sounds cool until you realise they would take so long it would cost too much it would not be good spectator wise and good luck keeping the players awake

I think majority of their audience is young adults and teenagers. They need to have attention span for 7 maps/ potentially 6+ hours.

Hell nah imagine how long it’d be if every map was close/OT

The burnout would be crazy I'm ngl.
Imagine playing a BO5 lower finals only to play a BO7 the next day.
I don't think it's practical in any sense

I think a BO7 would be more about mental and team stamina rather than even playing the game but it would be interesting if they ever did it for maybe a LOCK//IN 2.0 GF

not everyone is jobless vlr user and can sit and watch a 8 hour game. i remember bo5 in csgo and that shit was SO long.. mr12 bo7 would be even longer

if the game is 10 -15 min per map, yes sure

Its map 7 and all the players using either odin or judge
