The only period of the year with weekends non-reserved for other events. Also the format allows players to play their matches whenever they want, so its most flexible event, seemed the best for the holidays time

Can you detail what this means?

"- 4x 1v1, 1x 2v2
- one player can play one time 1v1 and two times 2v2 (if didn’t play 1v1)"

is it a typo? there is only one 2v2? Or do you mean to say that you cannot play again week 2 if you played week 1 (for example) ?

Its a typo, sorry, wanted to do 5x 1v1 2x 2v2, but after talking with captains decided to go with 4x 1v1 1x 2v2

Does it justify to pick the worst maps from a pool to your event ?

Picking Retro for 2v2 too ?

Progamers are complaining heavily about the new SSL MP. And u just double down on your Mp and added sparkle too. Congrats.

Looking forward to ESL's (Eonzerg StarLeague) map pool that everybody will agree on and will like without any complaints, because it's the most well thought out and perfected map pool in the Starcraft universe. Please share the link for us foolish people with bad taste in bw maps once it materialises!

I think your map pool would be cool as well. The map pool has been updated, as I got feedback from the captains. You can check it out here:
(Wiki)Bombastic StarLeague/Nation Wars (first 3 weeks are correct)
Also when I drawed the maps for each round I used the rule "no monty hall and sparkle at the same round".

I guess you missed this event to hate my maps choices: (Wiki)Bombastic StarLeague/Surprise Tournament

I'm heavily inclined to think that people who are positive about this map pool and/or also liked the map candidates from the SSL map pool simply lack the ability to evaluate them.

I'd think that, say, if you were able to hit A rank on ladder at least once, you'll be very likely to not like these maps... not trying to be elitist or anything, I don't see any other option.

If you fit this criteria (positive about the maps, hit A rank at least once), please explain your reasoning.

I am D rank from more 1.000 games at this season now (I always take B rank at all seasons, no except this one). So I can't explain for you.

But I am really sure you don't understand some words: watch, enjoy, play, interesting, surprising, hoping and amazing!

I've hit A rank probably around 50 times in every season where i had it as a goal. No map pool has ever got in the way of me getting there. I usually end up disliking 1-2 maps for a particular match up that might lead me to ban them. Even if i don't ban them i'd still get there comfortably. On the other hand, lack of activity, games and motivation is when i end up playing a few games and stay at B rank. That is why i find it hard to believe a map pool can be all bad, but to each their own.

Seems like I should have picked my words better but whatever. I'll try to answer in good faith.

This game is played for over 20 years which is quite marvelous in itself. Just as marvelous is the fact, that some sort of balance between the races exists. This is in parts due to great game design, but not only. Over the course of 20 years, we learned a LOT about how the game can be played and how matchups can be balanced with specific features of the maps that we use.

Think about how the amount of available resources is fixed. Why don't we see maps with BGH-like economy? Why don't we have 3 gas in the main? Somehow, we figured out that 9+/-1 patches per base works pretty well. By now, we know that big deviations from this will result in games where one race will be inherently advantaged over another.

The same is true for a lot of recurring features of modern maps. They are recurring because we identified them as necessary or useful for the possibilty of a balanced and dynamic game.

My main point is: by using maps that liberally disregard the recurring features of modern macro maps, we end up with games and tournament results which are largely determined not by player skill, but by maps.


But I am really sure you don't understand some words: watch, enjoy, play, interesting, surprising, hoping and amazing!


I very much do and I hope for the resulting games to be exactly these things. Its just that the context from which we evaluate these things is so different.

As a serious question, how would you feel if the games were played on crazy critters + Show Spoiler +

The schedule doesn't match the date of the results in LP. Is it because the result date is actually the casting date?

At any case go Sziky and team EU
