destination? LAAAAAAAME

man a lame map always sneaks into map pool

destination sucked a year ago and it still sucks now.

Well, I'm sure at least one person on your team likes the map ^_^. If not, deal with it =D.

tbh i think at least one of destination/python needed to be put in. id say at least 50% of csl players ONLY know those maps.

I remember day9 once telling me that, "desti has to be in there 100%" when I tried to replace it with something a little different. Bottom line: it's a good map. Overplayed, yes, but overplayed for a reason.

I would venture a guess that Ideas just sucks on that map.

Out of curiosity, what would you say the typical skill level is of the players in CSL?

Probably D+ in general, C/C- for playoff teams?

At the end of ESI Season 2, I watched every single replay over 10 minutes to create a top-ten best-of pack. 8/10 of those games were on destination.

General skill level is anywhere from D- to C. The dominant teams that have placed well in the past typically have one or two players beyond C that whip the rest of their team into shape and help plan good strategies.

There are LOTS of low-level rofl encounters, and a simple strategy is often the most effective.

I'd say D+/C- for regular play, playoff teams are a bit higher - C/C+ at least I think. Exclude Princeton =D.

Apparently Emory is in Georgia... and Duke is in NC, which is relatively close to GA. Pretty sure all of the Georgia schools are in that division... don't hear them complaining yet o.O.

Anyway, it's not that we hate emory. We just don't care about them. 70ish schools, we don't really care about any of them except Princeton, but that wasn't even a factor zzz.

Really? You only say that because of UCI and UCSD

Most divisions have two or three powerhouse, it's pretty typically. Who else in W4 is in the running?

compare east div1, div2 to div3, div4 and tell me that's balanced

UW, UofT, GT, and Duke should be in 4 different divisions plz

div1 is so ez that it's laughable

div2 is where princeton is clear fav and no other team come close

T_T i sense some bias??

Harvey Mudd and Caltech are pretty good. I think if they were in any other western division last season they would have made the playoffs.

You still also can't count out the Season 1 champions.

Thanks for letting me know. That was very insightful.

Well Cornell will be advancing this season. Not sure if you factored that into your bias sense.

Yeah the east seems pretty imbalanced ^^. I assume this was done somewhat geographically, but in the playoffs, if east 3 plays east 4 like last season, all the "good" teams are going to be eliminated. UW, UofT and Duke (not sure about Gtech) all have mostly b- or better players in their best lineups. I've also heard that there are other teams like York with B- and better people as well.

This being said, Princeton had a hella hard route to the grand finals last season although that was partially due to placing second divisionally.

T.O.P.
