The best-of-five series system

The best-of-five series (Bo5) playoff system is widely used in many sports, including volleyball and esports. The first team to win three games must win the entire series. Such formats are preferred because they offer both excitement and the opportunity for comebacks. Statistics show that in the US, best-of-five series are extended to all five games 29.5% of the time, compared to only 19.7% for best-of-seven series, making the Bo5 formats particularly suitable for competitive events, such as expertbeacon.com makes clear.

Best-of-five series offer a perfect balance between tension and length. Players and teams are required to showcase their skills over multiple games, meaning fewer surprise results. This means that even defeated teams that are 0-2 behind can gain hope, which no longer applies to VCA Amstetten NÖ this season. The team now faces the challenge of proving their skills in the final main round games and securing a respectable place in the table.
