Tiebreaker set to decide the championship starting in 5 minutes. Ghost format, one set is first to make 60 points. First to win 2 sets wins the match. Pretty entertaining format, IMO.

Do you guys think this can "save" pro pool? Even outside of Corona, this format could create "superstars". The same top 16 or so people could be constantly on the stream. A lower tier can be from qualifiers to get into the top 16. Setup costs for physical tables and bleachers and hotel rooms is eliminated. Ideas we've all kicked around for years, of having a tour of just the top 16 players only to save costs. Now maybe we can do that all online?
What are your thoughts?
