Foreign media Jaxon interviewed Limit, an auxiliary player of BDS, in the interview, Limit talked about the difference between the BO3 format and the BO1 format, as well as his preferences.
"Of course! I feel like every LEC player prefers the BO3 format. The BO1 format is simpler for spectators, but the BO3 format also makes a lot of sense for regular seasons. If a team wins most of the games, then you think they deserve to make the playoffs, but in BO1 it's different. You'd think some teams were able to make the playoffs entirely thanks to the BO1 format.
They'll think about some electronics in the game, and the other team will have a tough start, and then there will be other factors. For a team, it gets tough if they lose BO1 every week and don't have a chance to fight back after the first game.
Let's say we play a game and then we lose. We can have 10 minutes to review, which gives us time to fix our mistakes. I can't guarantee that we'll be able to win the next set, but at least we'll make the game different and learn more.
Changing from the BO1 format to the BO3 format is what I've always wanted LEC to do, and I think every player in this league prefers the BO3 format. But for some reason, this may not be possible, which is a pity. ”
Although two of the most successful international divisions have adopted the BO3 format, it does not look like the format will soon become the format of LEC.
LEC Commissioner Maximilian said today that it was "highly unlikely" for LEC to move to a BO2 or BO3 format because "we have a very positive view of our own format." "Like LCS in North America, LEC also adopted BO1 in the regular season.
Maximilian tweeted: "At this point, the odds of LEC changing to BO2 or BO3 are slim because we have a very positive view of our format and we are currently actually doubling our KPIs after the summer races started, for which I am deeply grateful." ”
In a Twitter post about the format, Maximilian said he wasn't "fundamentally opposed" to another format and that he would consider it if viewers wanted to see BO3. He did say that while other formats could more accurately identify a better team, this format required more time from the audience and made it more difficult to schedule work.
He also said the LEC doubled its viewership key performance indicators (KPIs), which is why the league didn't want to change the format.
"Can BO3 better identify better teams? Of course. But BO2 or BO3 also requires viewers to spend a lot of time, schedule a nightmare, and reduce the hassle that surprises LEC. ”
LCS. The EU changed its name to LEC prior to the 2019 season and previously used BO2 and BO3. Summer 2016, LCS. Eu played bo2 format. The following season, the BO3 format was changed, and after one season, it was changed to BO1.
Both LPL and LCK are BO3s. Historically, these two leagues have been the most successful internationally, with LCK teams winning S-Tournaments five times, while LPL teams have won S-Tournaments in the last two years.
