MIK, we have an issue. I know that this is supposed to be a team victory, but simply put, not all teams have had the fortune of all 6 of their members being 100% active throughout the whole thing, and the finals WILL be depressing if it stays as bo7. In fact, after talking with other teams, every team BUT you guys had some random leaver on their team leaving the average count of players that show up being 4, and had to deal with it throughout the whole thing. Doing a Bo7 with us repeating a player is not only warping the lineups (i wouldn't want to face a top player twice either..), but it really isn't fair for the rest of us. I know it's lame if some players can't join the finals and participate with the team, but that's how most team leagues are (A team, B team, practice partners etc). The easiest suggestion to this is stick to Bo5, so neither team is follied from any other format besides bo5. We aren't telling you to deal with our standards, just most of us simply don't have the same luxury to keep up with yours. What do you say?

ok thats why we decided to let you guys play someone twice..
I don't see what the problem is, this arrangement only favors you guys

none of us like it, its not very fitting. plus its harder to arrange people/sniping with map reuse

If we do Bo5 neither me or Kcrazy will get to play. It would suck that way. One of your players can play twice, and your argument makes no sense

how does it not make sense. i'll make it simpler. you guys = 6 people, us = not 6 people. doing a modified bo7 = awkward, doing bo5 like we did all league = nothing changes, everything's still fair.

just curious, if it really is the case that everyone (that is, all team) favors Bo5 over Bo7, how did we even come to decide Bo7? because i remember that majority of participants agreed on Bo7 when PO started.
plus, i really don't see what the problem is with letting a player repeat. would you rather give us a w/o?

I like that idea. That way it's about the team as a whole, not a few super stars. The teams with the most depth should be rewarded because they've advanced as a group.


Except some teams have one player that never shows up

Its pretty silly that we're doing Bo7 to emphasize the "growth of the entire team" sort of thing when every team that actually has 6 active players only did so because they actively replaced anyone who became inactive. Its not like the teams actually practiced and learned throughout the entire league :/

Why screw with something's thats working well? I say keep it Bo5. It's much easier to field 4 than to field 6. Not fair for those with inactive teams. Plus, as Numlock stated above, the ones with 6 active players were the ones that replaced any inactives. Some teams didn't do that, and you can't blame them for it.

You could always make each player match a Bo3 within a team Bo5. FOR SUPER FUN.

Again, I don't want Bo5 because I want to play, it's unfair, we've offered an easy solution, one that will let you play your ace twice before it reaches the ace match, and yet, you come up with a dumb reason.

You've come up with no good reason, other than your laziness to do a little extra work.

...what part of MY argument is about being lazy? i'm not the person who does lineups, our coach does. it's not just easy to alter our lineup, if you want to play, convince your coach why you should go out instead of your teammates, the rest of us didnt have the fortune for our coach to hand pick such a person as yourself. and tbh letting us use a player twice and not be allowed to play a third time for ACE is a dumber reason to keep this than bo5.

Storm, you should be more urbane and diplomatic. After all, you're seen as representing our team when you post in this topic.

No, I believe he did mean urbane.

what does your team say?

Our team already had a meeting and we agree that a Bo7 with any non-ace coming out double is a easy and diplomatic solution. Especially if one of your teammates has multiple personalities, then its really good.

A Bo5 is not as fair to our (and your) less played players. Well not really, but it would be nice for them to have the ability to contribute. Also, we feel that a Bo7 would make the games more exciting because of the greater skill gap possibility in all the matches. (opens the doors for crazy upsets, and crazy snipes)

Another alternative that came up was a Bo21 but we use a random generator to pick players for each match. I have a lot of UMS maps that are basically random generators (like russian roulette) and it would be really fun(ny). Maps could just rotate between the 5 CPL maps in an order l10f would decide.

OR

we could have an UMS tournament where we pick random UMS maps and have a Bo11 series. or Bo43. it doesnt really matter either which way

I suppose the last alternative would be that we play Bo5 but we decide to send out our less-played players instead of our A-team lineup. Unfortunately, in my culture, trying anything less than your best is a terrible dishonor and insult to your opponent so, for cultural reasons, I am against a Bo5
(we cant send our A-lineup for a Bo5 for fairness issues. If we did send out our A-lineup, we'd be nazis/communists/zombies so for ethical reasons, I am against a Bo5.)

EDIT: bolding the two best choices IMO

Fairness to the less played players is so meh as a reason to me.
Our less played players are less played because the vanished and never earned a position in the lineup again. Honestly I don't think anything is more fair than "earn your own spot on the lineup".
And I mean, maybe its just me, but if we play Bo5 all season then I think the finals should also be Bo5. Strength in a Bo5 is what was emphasized all season, and changing the format for the final seems to go against that.
