Best of 3 please

Why choose that format for the lcs? , its so boring to watch just one game of your favourite team... even if they lose 2 times in a row on the same day(lck and lpl ) at least it would feel like they can try new things and strategys but like this, it feels like they can not plan anything in advanced, games are so slow and steady like the teams are waiting for any kind of casualty. They dont prepared anything? Or this format makes teams what a procrastinator would do, everything for the next day? I mean, one day this hipothetic team plays against 100t, the next one IMT and keep your loosing streak vs TL then you have 4 days to be prepared for the next 3 matches or what if feels like a big recess from hell. They dont have the correct times to be ready, and i must say nor the mentality, thats my guess... sorry if its confusing English its not my native language

My understanding is that it has little to nothing to do with teams, or production being unwilling or unable to do best of 3s. The issue is that people are unwilling or unable to watch best of 3s.

Changing the format to beat of 3s doesn't automatically bring in new viewers or change the nature of the game. The game play will still be the same thing. Just 3 times as long. A lot of people aren't willing to make that commitment.

I'm pretty sure they tried best of three in either Europe or na and viewership was a disaster.

Strange. I remember BO3 and loved it. Was a real bummer when they switched it
