It's too late, but next season they should require one of each race.

Good thing I like PvZ's

Maybe next season the one race of each per game rule lol

What if the team only has 4-5 players?

This.

The point of not carrying over the PL race rule was that it implicitly punished smaller teams, which would have a harder time fielding all 3 races. Given that the removal of the merc rule will already create more small teams, it would be counterproductive to enact a policy to hamstring those teams.

I suppose, though, that it could be used to opposite effect. Perhaps teams that exceed a certain roster size are required to field 1 of each race?

I have the feeling that if we put in a rule like that, some teams will end up exploiting it by limiting their team size instead of letting their newbie Terrans play.

The one of each race rule should be possible, though. I've been skimming through the team rosters and most have all three races. This could be interesting ^^

You have to think of the reasoning behind the mandatory usage of all 3 races. It makes sense for proleague, not as much for CSL. In progaming the skill levels are all pretty equal outside of maybe 2-3 awesome players... anybody can beat anybody else on any given day in Korea. Given equal skill levels, having a race rule to promote diversity or whatever makes sense, because the actual gameplay won't be hampered too much.

In CSL though, the skill levels are so varied, that being forced to use a player of a certain race just for the sake of it can give that team a severe disadvantage. Let's say you only have 1 zerg player and he's D- level. So you pretty much have to give away 1 win per clanwar just for the sake of fielding a zerg. That's just nonsensical.

As much as it's nice to see a variety of matchups and races playing in games, it is NOT worth sacrificing game quality. I'd rather see 4 decent/good PvZ games than 1 horrible ZvT.

xeris i might take you up on that wager :D can't say for sure though, cause it'll make you go for some counter build.
also randomkr, it seems like the only way you have of backing up your arbitrary arguments is by writing in all caps :/ i'm all for hype-enticing bm but "YOURE JUST A STUPID CRAZY DOUCHEBAG LITTLE KID DUMBASS FUCKER" is just like ...-_-;
...on the other hand it's going to make your upcoming loss that much funnier :D

HEY LOOK AT ME I'M TRYING TO LOOK CONFIDENT AND AWESOME BUT INSTEAD I COME OFF AS ONE OF THOSE KIDS THAT ARE TRYING TOO HARD TO BE CLEVER AND HENCE I LOOK LIKE A STUPID DOUCHEBAG.

God, at least JackaSs can trash talk, rest of your team sucks at it. No, you guys don't look cool, you guys just look like idiots that's trying WAYYYYYYY to hard. God, at least if you are going to hype it up, do it right.

FAKE EDIT: What's wrong with you Canadians? Hey waterloo -> read tnt_titan's comments. And imagine how stupid it is. And now imagine that you guys look like tnt_titan.

I rest my case.


hey look at me i'm getting trolled.

True, the malicious bm should stop. I've been ignoring it since it's on TL and therefore not my problem, but where's the love? =[ Be good eSportsmen... if that's a word.
