We aren't an esport so I don't know what you're on about :^)

if someone made a reddit post "the tf2 esea grand finals lasted 7 hours" or something like that it would probably get a lot of recognition

yo seriously, longest starcraft game is 3 hours, longest dota game is 3 hours, longest csgo game is four hours. i think we just made history

I think the fact that it's two separate bo3s would technically exclude it

Double bo3 is so dumb

its only like that because its double elimination and EVL took the first set. if you made it a single series finals would kind of defeat the purpose of a double elimination style bracket

Apex season 2 overwatch finals went to 7 games. I don't remember how long the whole series was but it would be close

Make it a bo5 and give upper bracket a 1 map advantage. They only have to win 2 maps but lower bracket needs 3

each set was only like 20 minutes long tho. even adding 20 min of setup between sets that only gives like 4.6 hours

nevermind someone posted on /r/tf2 and that shit got 84 upvotes lol
/r/esports maybe

I feel this gf actually has a chance to set a world record, but we will see

dota 2 dude has longest anything xD

The issue with this is that it means grand finals can end in as few as 2 maps which is sort of lackluster. Best of 5 with no map advantage guarantees at least 3 maps while also keeping it a little more reasonable length than double best of 3 but with esea pre deciding map picks it provides no advantage to the upper bracket team which doesn't really feel right imo. I think the last couple i series lans have used best of 5 with pick advantage which feels like the best compromise to me when it's possible.

This is also true for the current double bo3

Longest sc2 game was Lillekanin vs ZhuGeLiang in a WCS qualifier, clocking in at 4 hours and 10 minutes for a single game in their bo3.
