Best of 5 matches is just too long

lets assume our favorite team is playing, and we want to watch all games. in this case, let's take the average game time (30 min), the pick phase (4 min), and the breaks (30 min) and calculate it all (30x5+4x5+30x4) the result is 4 hours and 50 min! it's too long. I can't spend so much of my spare time for this..

my solution is best of 3.

and yes, I don't have to watch, but i want to. and in this situation it's really hard..

So don't watch them all at once if you.........can't. Problem solved?

You can always just come back to it later. They save vods.

I can sympathize with the time demand watching a series live is, especially if it goes all 5 games. However, reducing the number of games is a HORRIBLE solution.

There is a better way that can help shave off some time. The breaks between games could easily be shorter. Half an hour is a lot, and 15 minutes should be plenty of time to players to get a breather in. That would shave a half hour off a 3 game sweep, and an hour off a 5 game series. That would bring it more in line with a typical sporting game such as baseball, hockey, or football.
