No mention of STARCRAFT 2 in ANY of the articles. DO NOT be stupid when posting here. If you're looking for flame war, PM me instead about how much BW sucks. We don't need flame wars in TL threads.



(Will be doing a full translation if I think its necessary in the future)



To sum it up:



-New Proleague season will be divided up into 2, half a year per. Each season has 3 rounds, and there will be total of 84 games, which means each team will play 21 matches. We will have TWO winners this season, instead of having a Grand Final.



-8 teams will participate. In this post season, 4 top teams will go into playoffs with challenge style (previously used format I guess). Semi-PO and PO will be Best out of 3, while Finals will be only one match.



-BO5 will return this season. In order to keep the new players playing in Proleague, they got rid of ACE MATCH system, so player who played in any of previous 4 sets cannot play again.



-Matches will be held at OGN on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. For Weekend, OGN will cast 2 games back to back starting 12:00 KST. On Tuesday/Wednesday, Proleague starts on 16:00 KST but only 1 match. There will be total of 6 matches per week.



-New Maps: Down to 6 from 8 because its BO5 now. Every map is new this season. Seems like we have a map similar to Holy World (Chain Reaction), successor to Outsider (Outlier), 4 player version of Medusa (Electric Circuit), and the 3rd series in the 'Ridge' series (Sniper Ridge) will be included. Seems like we also have reverse ramp style map 'Jade' along with 'Ground Zero' which might serve as successor to 'Python' and 'Fighting Spirit'



-First match is SKT T1 vs KeSPA 8th Team. It will be followed by KT Rolster vs Airforce ACE



More translations coming soon.

No Ace match too huh? woah Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

I feel happy and sad by that part. I want to see new players play, but that means I get to see Flash play less I feel happy and sad by that part.

I think it's pretty clear what this means.



I don't like the no ace match system, but if it was no ace match bo5 vs ace mach bo5 i'd probably take it. rather have ace match bo7 though.

I want the bo7 format back and Grand Finals on the beach, yo! The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

I wanted to see Jaedong AKs.



Wait, Bo5 with the ACE having to be a different player? This doesn't make sense.....why not Bo7? Jaedong and Hwaseung Oz fan.
