SEA

Why in SEA do they play 2 maps instead of 3 seems kind of dumb

Round Robin

group stage with point system

They have a different format, it is based in points i think

I feel like it would be super boring to watch a 2 map game though but maybe that’s just me

It's actually super entertaining since the games and standings are so close. Every round counts

its like a champions league group stage format

You actually just changed my mind on the format. Being ignorant of it I was of the opinion that it’s kind of dumb. But I could imagine some scenarios where it would be pretty hype going into a game where a team has to win while also only allowing a certain amount of rounds against them. Potentially makes blow out games also more entertaining.

Still a big fan of the good old Bo3. But this format is something I’ll keep an eye out for sure now.

yep, even if youre getting blown out you cant just forget about it and move on to the next map because winning 1 more round might be the difference between playoffs and being done for the year. even if youre down 12-0.
