Shouldn't Liquid vs. G2 have been a BO5 since it was the qualifying match???
Liquid prolly would've gotten 3-0'd but still.
I would've thought that since it held more weight it would've been BO5

Why BO3?

Issax28 [#2]Why would u want B05 just to watch lulquid get smacked 3-0? Waste of time
Lmao you right, I just figured since the qual match in the lower final NA is bo5 it only makes sense
brado [#8]bo5 rarely worth it, whoevers winning a bo3 is also winning a bo5, just takes 5 hours instead of 3, + quality of gameplay drops significantly after cpl hours
Eh I disagree with this
Mjtchell [#9]Eh I disagree with this
cool, but its facts, there is research that i will not cite for you, but you can ez find

Look at the IEM Katowice final this year. Its best of 5 and even tho faze won 3-0 it took over 4 hours to complete. Imagine that it goes to 5 games, thats at least 6 hours. Players also hate BO5s so TOs are less inclined to make a series BO5.

I mean there can be a lot of momentum change that comes with a BO5 a lot more room for mistakes as well as more time to get warmed up or detilt. Its not facts its just your opinion. If Acend v Gambit of BO3 Gambit wouldve won champions so this statement is completely wrong

Sure, but you have to acknowledge that there is still possibility in a BO5 for there to be a win even at 2-0 I just think that a match of higher importance should be BO5
Mjtchell [#12]I mean the upper final isn't BO5
I didn't know that, knowing this, it doesn't make sense to me.

its not just MY opinion, its the opinion of all players involved, and fans who want to see good games. CS ran bo5's for quite a bit, we know exactly how they play out, almost identically. Gambit should have won champions, they are the better team. point proven

But they didnt........
Its almost like everything I said could happen happened in champions.... Weird how it disproves your point

weird i never said it couldnt, i said it rarely happens. congrats at finding an example? my point is proven by the countless bo5's in CS history that went the same way as a bo3 wouldve. Gambit is still the better team

that was mostly because mirage, also the other 2 maps were 16-14 and 19-15 so it doesnt take that long unless its really close maps and there is no quick stomps, I think bo5 should be the standard for qualification matches and seeding bo3, the most different maps the better team will win but the point about quality of gameplay is a interesting although I dont think it drops that much to not consider it, you have to be mentally strong to win championships too

nope different map wud have been picked obv
nikoko07 [#21]bo5 makes no sense
How? its a qualification match and should show who is the most versatile and resilient
Mjtchell [#23]How? its a qualification match and should show who is the most versatile and resilient
idk, its too long. I think 3 maps is enough
nikoko07 [#24]idk, its too long. I think 3 maps is enough
This doubles as qual and elimination. 3 is def not enough
