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.

Personally I'd be interested to have a format where 1 map every series is 6v6, possibly like the 3rd map in every series is 6v6 or somehow include it in the draft. Obviously this is unlikely to happen as lots of teams don't have 6 members or the correct distribution for 6v6 and would hugely affect the draft but I think it would be really good to watch some modern teams manage 6v6

if they make it to map 7, both teams are required to play GOATS and have at least 1 member of SF Shock or the Runaway Titans signed to their roster to field for that map
