British esports analyst Duncan Thorin Shields actively supported the latest update to the BLAST tournament structure, according to which the finals will now be held in the BO5 format. Aimed at improving the competitive integrity and spectacle of events, this change promises to expand the map pool and strategic depth for participating teams.
Thorin commented:
The finals just got more interesting for me. Even more chances for matches like Spirit vs. FaZe/Vitality over the wider map pool. Considering how quickly mr12 games go with this economy I welcome the change and I think the viewing public will too.
Given the fast-paced games under MR12 rules, Thorin believes that these series formats can lead to more comprehensive and strategically varied matches, increasing excitement among spectators and players.
This change not only increases the challenges teams face, but also improves the viewing experience, offering fans longer, more exciting battles at the pinnacle of competitive Counter-Strike.
Let us remind you that yesterday BLAST announced that now the BLAST finals will be held in the BO5 format. BLAST's decision reflects a growing trend in esports to adapt and refine competition formats in response to participant and audience feedback.
