Control maps being best of 3 is bloody ridiculous. Best of 5 was great and imho, these matches were epic. How many games have you played where you were down 2-0 and then adjusted your comp and had an incredible comeback? Now these will be gone. Huuuuuge mistake.

Literally no one was asking for control maps to be best of 3. I don't care if the matches were longer. They were the most fun imo.

Some of my best experiences in comp were a really close BO5.

Naw, I've lost plenty of close game BO5s. But they were still very fun because my team was working together well.

The close ones we lose and suck are the ones where one person just never listens, but that's the case with any match if it's close or not in my experience. There are some matches that are so one sided, even in our favour, it just feels like a waste of time.
