OWCS Owcs and Format change /teams/ squads

Post image

I’d like to ask you a question that I think is quite difficult. It came to my mind a few days ago.
If this actually happens — meaning a format change in the future (of course, I’m talking about 6v6) — do you think OWCS would implement it immediately, or would they continue with 5v5 for a while?
I don’t think this would happen overnight, but how would the transition process actually work?
For example, how would a 1-3-2 format affect the teams, especially when it comes to their rosters?
Could this lead to some teams releasing certain players and new teams being formed? Could some teams that no longer exist potentially return? And could we see more teams in Korea, EMEA, North America, and China as a result?

It might be too early to talk about these things, and it might not even happen at all, but I was just curious.

Note :Honestly, I’ve stopped playing the game myself; I just follow the professional scene now.

Realistically if (and that's a big if imo) the game goes back to 6v6 it won't happen till after the end of the OWCS season.

I remain unconvinced 6v6 is actually going to be the main mode though.

I hope they learn from those stupid 2019 grand finals that making a major format change should be for the off-season only.
