THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
PROPOSED NEW FORMAT:
First round (best of 3): 6v3, 5v4
Divisional round (best of 5): (6v3) v 2 / (5v4) v 1
LCS/World Series rounds still best of 7
OK so this is the "issue" with all of the things that are being discussed that I've been talking about. Should we change the playoff system?
I think a poll for yes/no to start then if it is yes, introduce the new systems. I made the poll 7 days.
I think we should expand the playoffs but also shorten series. So you increase the value of finishing higher, have a better chance of making the playoffs and add some more importance to the regular season. Here is an example of a new system:
Round 1: 5v4 in a one-game playoff. You could also do 3v6, 4v5 OR do 6v5 winner plays 4, winner into "regular" tournament.
Another idea is give a 1 seed a bye to the LCS, introduce 2 seed to the LDS, and have it be 6v3 and 5v4 then those winners get to the LDS. Or a ladder of 6v5 plays 4 who plays 3.
Shorten the LDS to 5 games
Keep the LCS/WS the same.
There are lots of options. I think the current set up of best-of-7 and no real difference between 1st and 4th place makes the regular season boring. No reason to strive for 1,2,3 seeds. No chance for a few owners. A hot 6 seed who won 68 games would be awesome.
Introduction of LIVE one-game playoffs increase interest in post-season too.
