and im really tired of playing the same 3 maps every week, 1 by 1, worst then playing python imo
actually most of the good players just flat out quit playing, it was impossible to get games at high ranks the last few days

I actually appreciated the motws since wcg is next week but eh.. at least Python's still up

I actually think they should stop with map of the week
initially the idea was to make people play different maps - now all it does is make people refuse to play non-motw - and in the weeks where the motws are considered crappy, people just stop playing iccup. and people only playing lost temple or luna hasn't been a problem for a long time. probably also have a rule that you can't have played one map more than 70% of the time after 20 games tho (and if you play it more, you get a 20-25% point penalty for any further games.)
they're just regarded as free points which enables people to rise up through ranks without having to win more than 50% now.. I think dropping them and also making you lose 110 points from losing a game at A-+ rank instead of 140 would be a good thing. Yeah well those are the reasons I was trying to change motw, but obviously I didn't think the latest attempt through very well (though it was based on feedback from several people last season) xD The problem I see with that is overcomplicating it for the ladder admins, with all these crazy percentages. Perhaps a system where courage maps permanently gain 110-120% but are only in motw every 2nd week? Don't know if it really solves anything though.

If you're talking about Frost]ex[, he's "nongmin" on the TL streams. A Korean exchange student if I recall correctly.
|
Frost]eX[ = nongminzerg / frostclan, the Zerg that streams here (http://www.teamliquid.net/video/userstream.php?user=nongminzerg). He's some Korean that lives in the United States.. eX just picked him up and he's already beaten some of the best foreigners, he's kinda making the Gosugamers rankings look imbalance by gaining so many points so fast from being new to that system
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of FroZ?

Wow thats pretty sick. About his matchlist, yeah he does have short games, but I dont think he is cheesy. I dont think you can go 27-0 with all in strategies. So he must be doing some very strong early build, maybe 9 pool speed, and then back it up with crazy mechanics and gamesense.
Would LOVE to see more of his reps. I'm really curious about people he has these kind of match lists.
|
Haha I was about to post about him as well. I have a rep and if it turns out he's really someone, I'lll be proud to be the first one on his match list
rep: the game went on for 11 min and he had 404 apm...

Good thing BS will be back, but I got my WCG this weekend, I really thought I could practice on that certain map, now its out and instead I got a map I'll never play on. I'm pretty sure theres plenty of people who are thinking the same. I wouldnt mind if you changed longinus for outsider either.
