Quite disappointed in the removal of swiss format. Can work well, but ideally you need 6 rounds minimum. Or run a few rounds, then into top 4/8 finals. I image the new format wont be as welcoming to non GM's/casual players (majority), and be a fairly steep price for potentially an hour or two's play and travel. Thought it went against the ACL Ethos of playing 1-2 games and getting knocked out straight away. It's all well and good that the pro's have a 'better', or more practiced format for the WCS seed, but i was hoping ACL would make a big deal of the WCS blizzard event and try and attract as many players of all levels as they could. Come and enjoy a day of starcraft and ACL. I'll try and stay as long as i can, but i can see people leaving soon after they're knocked out, and less people attending. Hopefully i am wrong, just my thoughts on it.

Nice changes to open bracket + pro bracket group selections!

Maybe if lots of people are knocked out early @ regional and we're all still keen we can work out a mini tourny or something? So long as its cool with ibisq/dox of course
