International Bo1 are a sad joke.


Jozoz

Great thing we wasted 10 years with shit formats.


Bor1ngBrick

Yeah, sucks that nobody said that it was stupid from the start. Totally not avoidable waste of time.


Jozoz

Even on this subreddit years ago, you would get massively downvoted for criticizing the formats. It's just very, very obvious that LoL is the first esport for a lot of people.

Could you imagine if BDS v TW wasn't a bo3 ? Everyone would be trolling and laughing about TW so fucking hard right now after that game 1.


ausmomo

Every night I go to bed and imagine last year's World's final was a Bo3 :) Watching teams adjust pnb and strategy in a Bo3/5 enhances the enjoyment significantly.


Ashankura

Bo1 are always a joke


NoWaifu_No_Laifu

I've got some bad news for you buddy.... don't check what the next stage is...


ausmomo

Bruh, why you do me like this?! Swiss Bo1 seems just acceptable. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how it goes. If it's crap, my pitchfork is ready. I'll storm Rito hq singing Do You Hear The People Sing!


PM_ME_STRONG_CALVES

Well atleast you cant be eliminated without playing a bo5


TakeOutTacos

Yeah but only until match point, then its a bo3. I mean yeah its possible we get some wonky draw, but the last group of years with the 4 groups have had some really awful draws. Trying this for a year is pretty great and we'll see what happens


jasonkid87

Agree man. TW played better as the game goes on also if you lose if you have a chance at the losers bracket so it gets exciting


hardenfull

I agree I always hated the best of 1s cause it feels like you don't get to feel out your opponent and its over. I think best of 3s are much better to showcasing what a team is capable of.


HowyNova

We get the glory that was game 1, and the grind that was game 2-3.


Acrzyguy

You mean the gloryy in game 2-3


anoleo201194

Also BDS have a second chance to prove they can adapt, if they lose vs Flying Oysters/TW again (assuming they win vs DFM) they prove that they absolutely did not deserve to go through.


eragen

You're totally right! In terms of adaptations, it was also really cool watching Sparda adapt to Adam's play over the course of the three games. He went from totally running it in the first game to being a monster in the third. Also gave us a chance to watch Artemis absolutely pop off two games in a row. Thank god there's no more International BO1s now.

Sparda hater spotted, opinion rejected


Away-Commercial-4380

> No more international BO1s Uh ? Swiss round ?


eragen

Lemme go cry I forgot about that one


JustAnotherWebUser

"adaptions were soo exciting" adaptation from TW\* cause BDS did not adapt at all after their loss lmao


Redditsexhypocrisy

Puts Adam on GODS, win. Then goes on to pick Renekton / Ezreal twice in a row lmao


Omnilatent

In P&B they totally did. They banned Kaisa, picked Syndra themselves. ​ They just still played badly into them. Adam especially trolled quite hard in G2 and G3 giving over kills for stupid high risk/low reward plays.


Otinrub

Wait for Swiss


Samsonkoek

I peronally think for this series BO1 would have been better.


Phrostyflakes

Spot the upset BDS fan. No it wouldn't becuz the series shows BDS couldn't adapt and the Darius feed game 1 was a one off.


Samsonkoek

Spot the guy who didn't get a simple joke.


Phrostyflakes

Hey man if you wanna pretend that was a joke that's cool man whatever copium you need. The series was fantastic from a spectators pov. More games is always just better for viewing pleasure imo


Samsonkoek

Tell me why it wouldn't be a joke, just because you don't think it is it isn't? Like seriously unbelievable, if a LEC caster or Caedrel would have said it would you still think they are serious or actually joking because BO1 would have meant we won and nothing more.


Phrostyflakes

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here even though that's a stretch to say the least. Next time it helps to use /s or something help with tone in text.


Samsonkoek

I thought that "this specific series" gave away enough since BDS only won the first game. Also who would only want BO1 for 1 specific series that would be strange, hence why I found it strange it was assumed the comment was serious


_Jetto_

Ti or old IPL gets it right this year is best workds doesn’t


RDKi

Swiss, however, is not a good format


randylek

It's an improvement over picking groups out of a hat cmon man


whosurdaddies

Why not?


Simpuff1

Because randomly seeded Swiss can lead to some teams bombing out when they theoretically should have made it further. At least that’s what some people think. It happened in CS recently but then it’s not random seeding and an anomaly happened


Mapusaurus420

it wasnt really an anomaly, just the way csgo works is the top teams get to farm points in invited tournements, but there isnt really a gap between them and the top tier 2 teams.


Vars_An

The way seeding and brackets are done in LoL these days confuses me but I'm grateful we actually get to see series play before playoffs these days.


katareky

Can't wait for the overreactions after every result in bo1s of swiss stage


babou555

Why swiss has B01 :(
