The Playoffs are here, finally. After a long and exciting ProLeague season the playoffs are finally here. It kicked off yesterday with OGN Sparkyz versus CJ Entus.
The basic format of the ProLeague matches stay the same in the playoffs. They are simply expanded from best of five to best of seven. That includes two 2v2s. This makes the whole team more important. You cannot have only a few elite players to make it through the playoffs. OGN Sparkyz have the best 2v2 couple in Justin and Flower, although they have seriously cooled down in the latter parts of this season. CJ on the other hand have relied much more on their 1v1 games.
OGN Sparkyz ended forth, the last qualifying spot, and are facing CJ Entus who placed third. The winner here will go on to face MBCGame HERO and then Lecaf Oz to decide the winner of this season. Then the winner there will face off with Samsung Khan, winner of season one, to decide the winner of the Shinhan 2007 ProLeague.
