Should the bo1 format be removed from Major? I don't understand why it's so hated. If a team is strong, it will advance regardless of the format

BO1 is a fine format. If a team is truly strong, they'll advance no matter what. I don't see the issue

That's not really true. BO1 relies too much on randomness and map picks. Even strong teams can have one bad game and be out.

BO1 keeps the tournament fast-paced and more exciting to watch. I think it adds tension

It does make it faster, but at the cost of fairness. BO3 shows who’s actually better, not just who got lucky with one map

Totally agree — BO1 punishes one bad map, not a weak team. Majors deserve better.

Majors are supposed to be the highest level. BO1 doesn’t belong there at all. Only BO3 gives real results

BO1 is fine for early stages, just make sure key matches are BO3. It’s all about balance

I think it's actually interesting - it gives weaker teams a chance to fight for the title

Totally agree, everyone should have a chance. It’s almost impossible for tier 2-3 teams to get to tier one scene

It's worth removing bets on CS2 in bookmakers, and there will be fair competition.
