Am I the only one that liked the 5 rounds. I do like the 7 to but I think maybe there is space for both? Perhaps a toggle/choice? I am not sure but idk if I am the only here that misses the 5 rounds, it just felt better pacing.
Not gonna lie I miss the 5 rounds I had gotten used to it. The gadgets I think are a little redundant currently not to say I don’t think they could get to a better place.
just really show dev dont know what community wants. bring back 5 round
Honestly, best-of-5 was the best direction for Stadium so far.
The 7-round format might sound “more competitive,” but in practice it just makes matches drag on for no reason.
Five rounds hit the perfect balance between intensity, pacing, and strategy — especially for players who want fun, focus, and flow.
They should just make it 1 round then stadium might actually get some players cos right now most of us never touch it because it’s way too long
i love stadium and i didnt mind 7 rounds, but after they swapped to 5 rounds i find 7 to a be a little boring, as it tends to drag on sometimes. Hot take, but just make QP stadium first to 2, and make comp stadium best of 5 again!!! if people dont like the power creep of stadium, then regular comp is right there too!!!
What Exo said, too long of a time investment. This will never work beyond proper teams facing each other.
I like the idea of stadium, in the long run it is not appealing though.
7 rounds is the best and has more real competitive feeling than 5 rounds, 5 rounds feels exactly like im playing something in arcade. They could work on the mercy rule a bit more so that matches that are a stomp don’t drag for too long, but otherwise most of my games are great comebacks of 4/3 so can’t complain. Overall 7 rounds is the best format for competitive play.
