Is anyone gonna be as good a sup for Rekkles as Yellowstar was, though?
Febiven and Rekkles (I'm assuming they're still in the main lineup, correct me if I'm wrong) are a good core, but the team of 2015 just had a good vibe to it. I do have hopes for the 2016 FNC, though.

Also, this format stuff is fascinating. Simultaneous streams aren't much fun. I think BO2 is probably better for a spectator because you always know how many games a team is going to play on a day, and if you look at their schedules they're able to put in a "game of the day" each day that doesn't have simultaneous broadcasting.

Basically in summer split, EU will have Best of 2s (3 points for winning both), 1 point for splitting. NA will have Best of 3s. Everyone will play everyone twice.
The schedule changes and will have simultaneous broadcasts, and NA will play 2 of the series on Friday.

to be fair, i imagine you'll catch more than you think because (1) games wil llast different times and there's significant downtime between matches that you can flip over to an active game. If they're smart they'll stagger start times a bit to really get this, and (2) for BO3 only a fraction of games will go the full 3, so there will be a lot of times where one match is still going on but the other is over.
I'm actually pretty excited for the format change, tbh. Bo1 was becoming rather tiresome, compared to the clearly superior formats used in other regions.

Still, for someone like me who normally only has a limited amount of time to catch every game either live or as VoDs (due to work and school), BO1's helped me because there weren't as many matches to catch up on. I agree that BO3/BO2's are better for competition, but I personally won't be happy because I may not be fully caught up before next Thursday rolls around.
Also, I really don't like simulcasts like this. It's not like big SC2 tournaments where you have to shove, like, a 64-man bracket into 3-4 days so simulcasts are mandatory. OTOH, putting up to 10 BO3s in 2 days isn't much better, so I see the point. Don't like it, but I get it.

In NA, where there’s a regional sport tradition of avoiding ties, we chose to implement Bo3.
ehm, lol?
Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.
