Aaron Keller in X. *We’ve been listening to your feedback on Ranked Stadium’s format since Season 19 launched, and we agree — the switch to Best of 5 hasn’t felt quite right. Starting tomorrow (10/30), Ranked Stadium is returning to Best of 7.
Best of 7 adds more room for strategy, comebacks, and team adaptation, while making matches feel less snowbally overall. If you liked the quicker Best of 5 format, you can still jump into Quick Play Stadium to experience it there.
The Stadium Ranked Queue will be disabled for about one hour while the change rolls out. More details about this decision coming in next week's Director's Take. Thanks again for all the feedback — we’re always listening.*
I hope there was some other way for news than random tweet in X.
