really, a SC2 game takes 5-15mins on average. it's 40% less than the time stated on score screens because it's played on 'faster' mode. i really suggest bo3 out of group stages, it's completely possible to finish it within a day(as shown in previous sg lan tournys by hdphoenix).
hope you'll consider it and do the right thing!
Totally agree with muse. A Bo3 doesnt takes much time in a lan setting. As long as it is well organized and players play their matches in time. A Bo1 is too random and allows a lesser skilled player to beat a much high skilled player with cheese.

Thanks for the feedback, point taken.
However, the groups might be massives and with all the checking in and getting scores, toilet break and changing seats and waiting for each other to be ready, some time need to buffer in into each set. Hence, hope for you understand for now that we will have to kept at BO1 for now.
Ideal situation if everything runs like clockwork and if we have all day and full use at the cybercafe then it would be easier to fit in a format with more matches. We see how this one goes and optimize it along the way. Let's all give it a try first.
But rest assure we are taking note of your feedback, we are gamer too and sometimes play competitively so we also know how gamers feel. Thanks for your understanding guys. If we all as a team, do this well we can look forward to more from us and the programme.
