SEASON 5 1vs1 PLAY-OFFS ANNOUNCEMENT!

[RJBTV]

Based on feedback, we at www.Starcraftworld.net have decided to introduce a "Top 4 play-offs" format to determine the true winner of the SCW season 5 1vs1 ladder! No more dodging to avoid losing points and no more bashing of lower ranks to win. Instead the top four players will, at the end of the season, be seeded according to their ranks on the 1vs1 ladder and fight to be called the champion!

Now you might wonder if this seems unfair to ranks 1 and 2, but we have found a solution for that. In order to ensure that rank 1 remains more important than rank 2, and rank 2 more important than rank 3 and so forth, we have decided for the following format.

Rank 4 plays Rank 3 in a "best of 5" series in the first round of the play-offs. The winner proceeds to the second round and will play a "best of 5" series against rank 2. The winner of this series will then proceed to play against Rank 1 in a "best of 7" series to determine the definitive champion of the season. An example of the bracket can be found at the bottom of the post. All matches will be Random vs Random and can be played on either the standard SCW 5 map or the 2.0 map. 

A couple days before the end of the season I will open a thread with the relevant details, rules and instructions that the participants will have to follow. Until then, stay tuned and play your hearts out to earn your spot in the play-offs!

Here is a visual example of what the brackets for the play-offs will be like:

not that there is anything wrong with this set up, but why not just do 1v4 and 2v3 then the winner of each plays for the title

I an ideal world it is, however getting people from different time-zones to play multiple Bo7 is really tough because of time constraints.

I support this idea, that way you can't just grind/dodge your way to 1st place end of season.
