Who's going to run the teams?
|
Very good idea, hope it lures more ppl into BW :3 Thumbs up!
|
Love the idea, but why make it at the ICCup CL time? I'd love to participate, but when I'm at home saturdays I ususally organize and cheer for my "real" team that plays in Clanleague and if there aren't enough players for my team I have to play even. I don't know if I'm the rare exception but wanted to point it out at least. What about 1:00 pm EST? Or 11:00 am at sunday? Another point is that you should extend team size or you'll have huge activity problems. I can assure you that it will NEVER happen that everyone from a team shows up all the time.
Anyways, nice initiative. :-)

I would message as many clanleaders as possible- encourage them to get their lower level players into this league, or better still, form a team-division to play in this league for players who wouldn't usually get the chance.

I looked at your profile and considering your win rate I'm ok with this.
The league will start once we have enough people to organize into teams to play. If sign ups continue at anything like this pace that will be very soon.
Sushiknight I'll consider your situation and make a decision about it tomorrow.

If your skill level is currently at d+ then that is fine.
Can we change the time to much later or much earlier (((
I'm thinking about changing the time because there were a number of complaints about the start time. However, it is difficult to schedule a time when the whole world can play that doesn't conflict with people ability to watch other tourney's. Turns out foreigner BW is pretty busy and event filled!

I saw that it was proleague format. But is there any reason it isn't winners league format? Seems more exciting (more strategy, and who doesn't love all-kills :D) and it will compensate if players don't turn up.

We have gotten a huge amount of signups in just two days which means we will be able to start next Saturday, November 19th. I will be updating the OP later today with new information and updating some things on it.

Yes. The goal of this is to get new players or lower ranked players a way to get involved in something BW related.

I think winners league style would be a lot of fun too but I think it would be hard for the lower level players on the team to get motivated if their chances of playing hinged on whether or not their d+ players went on a rampage that day. Proleague style gives everyone a chance to play.
Renzy unfortunately I don't think it makes a lot of sense for someone who can make it to C-/C rank so comfortably with their main to offrace in the league.

There is no prize. If you are smurfing into a D rank league to bash newbies I don't know what to say other than I will be doing my best to find them and kick them out.

This starts this weekend, November 19th. I'm starting to make the teams now, I will update the OP in a few hours with the teams and begin making sure people know who they are teamed up with.
Fun fact: More Terrans signed up than anything else by a pretty decent margin.

Hmm. This sounds like a lot of fun and I'd love to join in the fun, but I honestly have no clue if I'm eligible to play. =/ I don't think I'm above D+ or so since I never really ladder, but last time I tried it out I went 7-1 (This account), which could indicate that I might be on a slightly higher level. BUT, I strongly suspect that this was mostly due to me getting lucky. Because I'm terrible. I really am.

Hm, it'd be great if I could still sign up for this. Artanis[Xp] on iccup, currently D. I was C in a very very distant past but I've played with some sGs guys around D+ and I go about 50/50ish so I'd say I'm around that skill. I'd love to play in this :D Protoss, btw.

You guys can still sign up as there are still spaces available on the teams. I'm just going to trust that holgerious is of sound mind and isnt trying to smurf it up in my team league.

Newbie's pretty good though, he's got a bunch of wins over C- guys that have been C/C+/B- in former seasons.

I updated the teams in the OP with the new players. Teams will cap out at 8 players each with 8 teams.

This is just an oversight on my part. I had it as a BO5 for when I was unsure of how many players would sign up and believed we would have only had 6-5 per team. I've updated this in my op.

Nope! When there are too many players signed up I will update the OP but I hope people will sign up as reserves. It is very likely that some players will eventually be need to be replaced do to inactivity or other issues.

I'm glad to see people are already trying to get their teams together without me having to prod them to do so. Keep it up guys.

Cobalt,
its not winner stays style right?

I'd be willing to help out a team with getting better or whatnot, but I don't really have time or effort to do much more. I'm snipin_panda on iccup.
Also, I don't see why it can't be more than 8 teams.

Yes, I can practice all my non-mirrors ^^.
By the way, guys from Team 1, you can reach me through TL's TS3 room or skype.

I am pumped for this In SC2 I was only the manager of a team, tho I really love to play on "high" pressure situations like CWs.
Can we rename our "team"?^^
Is this starting next saturday 10 am EST (this is 5 pm CET, am I right) ?

I'd really like to sign up but I don't know how often I'd be able to play. However, I'm always willing to play tonnes of practice games with anyone on my team. Feel free to not sign me up if you think someone who can't play too often is inconvenient.

Haha no worries, I'm just glad someones organising tourneys for BW!

Sorry, but CobaltBlu send me a PM about my question if i have a team and want to play as a team. I'm not lpaying because i'm C-, but some of my teammates are D-/D-/D+. I answered his PM with the accounts, ranks and races before the tour has 8 teams, i didn't rececive an answer yet. I don't know, maybe a "your team has a lot of D+", or "your doens't jave enough D-", or "you replay too late, sorry ".
I need an answer . And watching the amount of players that are sining up, i think we can easyly reach the 10 teams, like iccup CL does.

Have some patience please, if you had any idea how much work he's been putting into this maybe you wouldn't feel so entitled to instant replies. No need to start complaining right away, especially after such a short time. He looked at your team and he's thinking about it. He said he was worried that your team had so many D+, but wait for him to reply please, organizing a tournament and putting together teams that are balanced both in ranks and races for this many people isn't easy. So please try to be a little bit more respectful when he's been putting in all this work for no pay.
Cool to see so much interest though! I don't think any of us expected this many people to sign up, especially so fast.
|
I'm sorry, but my teammates are really excited for this u.u And telling them that are not going to play would be... O_O Thanks for the replay, if you need help with something, just tell me. And yes, the D+ thing, i think we have 1 low D+ 1 D+ and 1 high D+. if you consider that is too much, we can change the team a liitle. Mostly because the high D+ is not sure about his time, and we don't know is he can play all the saturdays.

They're not, but people keep asking to join anyways even though the others have already been denied! If you can get to C- with one race, chances are your off-race will be C- in a much shorter time frame than those who struggle with their main races, and it wouldn't be fair to the people who don't have the general mechanics and knowledge of a solid C- and above rank.

The schedule will be up as soon as possible and Cobalt will update with all the necessary info as we get closer to kicking things off. Most of the focus has been on putting together the teams and getting them balanced, both in race distribution and rank distribution. Everything else will be there soon, don't worry.

And how are going to be choosen the opponentes. I mean, in iccupCL there were a system that used to chose your opponent randomly. An opponent that showed up that day. So we have to agree?
Thank you

Well i don't see the problem. It's not very hard to have 6 available players for a match when you are 8 per teams. You know the date of your match so it's easy to organize your things before it starts.

you know, if this is going to be a 3 month + thing, we should just make our own liquipedia page for it.

This league is every saturday and thus will be on the 24th and 31st of december, so I think this is a pretty bad date for most of the europeans (since we have it 5pm on the playdates). So it would be kind of a cool thing that every team has 1 or 2 wildcards (postponing a clanwar). Or you could reschedule it, so these two dates will be moved till january or something?
I hope we can find a solution for this

I saw this when I was making the schedule. I was thinking that instead of just skipping those weeks entirely I would move the games forward a couple days since people will hopefully have time off around then.

Sign-up anyway because you're going to get a chance to play when I replace the inactive people. ^^
I saw these maps when I went to KeSPA map site earlier but I couldn't download them or look at them yet. I'm definitely interested in adding some of them in partway through league but I want to get a chance to play on them first haha.

I'm confused on how the format is going to work for the D rank tournament.
Is each player going to play a bo7 against a member of the opposing team?
Is the team playing a bo7 with one player assigned to one match/map so that when the round is over, 7 players on your team will have each played one match of the different maps?
Is it play until you lose so that one player could score an all kill?

Teams will play one proleague style bo7
It will be 6 different people play one game, then a player can be sent out again in the Ace Match if it goes to set 7.

I will clarify in the op more than proleague style because this seems to be confusing people.

So 6 players come online to play 1 match each?
I think it would be better to play BWCL style, so a player can play at least 2 matches >_<
Maybe you could rethink about this issue?
|
whats BWCL style? is it like winners league style?
|
I think it's when each player plays a Bo3 instead of Bo1.
|
yes it was
5 x 1on1 Bo3 1 x 2on2 Bo3 and then we could add an ace match or 6 x 1on1 Bo3 and Ace Match or something. But just playing 1 game on each playdate is kinda lame...
|
I'd be fine with Bo3s, just no 2v2.
|
i think bo1 is better though , more like a proleague style :O bo3 is long .
|
But why should it be like a proleague? Proleague is made for the spectators, but this is made for the players.
And I can imagine that some people will not take some time for this, when it is only ONE match for them.
I would like to see a poll about the format, tbh. That would be the easiest thing.
|
well some games gonna be casted so its better if its BO1 , its too long otherwise. Besides since the point of this tournament is fun it is more fair for weaker players to be BO1 than BO3 couse they can win BO1, games gonna be more unpredictable . Im sure im gonna play at least once some troll C lvl guy whos gonna own me hard , in that case i wouldnt even show in the set 2 couse whats the point ... so... to sum up imo in this tournament its more fair and entertaining if its BO1
|
I personally feel BO1 for this league style is better, games are much more tense and cheese/unorthadox play is pretty exciting.
|
Bo1, Bo3 would take really really long.
|
"no obs unless you are being streamed"
What if we're playing on 2 player map and both me and my opponent can't join each other's game because of latency?
|
you can skip latency problem if u and ur opponent both join game created by someone else (coaches i guess?) for a second
|

If both dont have open ports it wont work if the coach leaves though. I for one cant open my ports (something wrong with my router i believe) so this is gonna be a problem for me (and many others) playing this tournament. To everyone who can: OPEN YOUR PORTS!
|
Will the games be played one after another or can we play all the first six matches at one time to save some time? And what happens if less than six players turn up?
edit: Perhaps check out before the matches start if there's a host for every single match, if not: Switch the players!

This.
Bo3 just gets ridiculously long; when people start having to show up at 9 and not have to play a match till 12 that's no good.
|
But who says that it needs to be played consecutive? o_O You can play those matches simultaneously. I dont know where the problem is.
And if there is a cast, then the caster can choose 2-3 Bo3 he will cast, so the players will not wait as long as you imagine.
Just make a poll and if Bo1 wins, I am fine with it. The thing is I cannot understand why you would rather have a Bo1 instead of a more skillbased Bo3. Why would you want someone to luck a win against a better player (by cheese, build order win, etc.). I can imagine that there will be much cheese, since there is always a player, who thinks he is worse then his opponent. One way or another I cannot see anything, which shifts the favor into the Bo1 direction.
TL;DR: Pls make a poll about Bo1 or Bo3.
|
Were going to play bo1 because we are going with a bo7 format so more people can play bo3 for every match would just take too much time. I also think that bo1 games in a team format are really fun to play and exciting.
Games can be played concurrently as long as you make sure you get all the maps in correctly and send the replays to the provided email quickly.
If there are lat problems then someone can host and leave the game immediately. If for some reason they have a conflict after that then the teams simply need to send other players so people can play. Please open your ports if you can.
If enough players do not show up to the match then you get walk-overs for how many maps you cannot field a player on. Obviously if you win 3 matches then you can send one of your previous players for the deciding match. If a player on your team never responded to initial contact please send me a PM so that we can resolve the issue.
|
But if the games can be played concurrently then the whole clanwar will be over after about 30 minutes (10 minutes orga + 1 x 20 mins average each game). I really cannot see how about 1 hour for a clanwar can be too long?
Anyways one more point I want to know, why no observer? If both players agree and it is not laggy, then why not? In the end this is a FUNleague and why would anyone would cheat in such a league? Seriously when this league consists of Bo1, then you can play it consecutively, so more people can enjoy the war.
Just make a rule "If one player complains ingame about lag, then every obs needs to leave". If a Obs does not leave the game, he will be banned from obsing for the rest of the league.
|
If people cant create just let someone who can create to make lol simple
No observer cause some might steal other player play style ( oh well , this is the only reason i could think of ) but i personally dont mind having observer =P
and please bo1 lol , bo3 is boring , dont have the excitement , bo1 you can cheese and win, bo3 is harder .

You guys forget we have 9 weeks of games.. A bo3 would be great if it was one set or two sets, but we have 9 and then playoffs. Plus there is the holiday season coming up.. Its best to stick to a bo1 so people can commit to other things in their lives over the weekends. At least for the first season. Keep the bo7 CobaltBlu.
What happens if we don't get 6 players? I have a feeling that we should either drop it to a bo5 or allow one or two people to play twice incase their teams dont all show. Maybe make it so that if player A plays twice (excluding Ace match) week 1, he cannot play twice again until all other players have played twice. This would allow for a lot of flexiblity for the holiday season as I'm sure a lot of people will be traveling and we have 80 players to accommodate (I know I will.. And I dunno what my internet scene will be like when I'm not home...)
Also, do the games HAVE to be played at 8am PST? If both teams agree, can we push it back to like mid-day? (Assuming most players are in the West Coast and all agree). I dunno about you guys, but I don't play my beset that early in the morning I know we have a lot of people to accommodate around the world.. some people have to stay up till 3am or something ridiculous. So maybe have a rule that all games must be reported by Sunday night, and players can work among themselves over the weekend or week to . For organization's sake I think each team should select a 'captain' and report that person to CobaltBlu so he can bold the captain's name in the player roster. This would allow any player from to contact a person form a given team if needed to reschedule a game or something.
I dunno.. lol just throwing out ideas.. thoughts?
|
While chrisolo needs to accept that the matches are going to be a bo1 this time around I am considering introducing some flexibility into the play time. I can't micromanage all of that however and I would need teams that are having difficulty playing at the appointed time to contact each other, come to an agreement and contact me with a new play time afterwards.
The obs rule is in place so there aren't ten complaints every weekend that obs made the game lag or obs was cheating. If someone wants to watch a game that badly they can watch a replay or ask for their teams games to be streamed.
|
I think bo1 for sets and bo5 for matches are the best. Anything other then bo1 for a set would take too long and most teams are like 8 players so in a lot of cases a player will have to play 2-3 times per match if it was bo7.
|
This sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks to CobaltBlue for setting it up and to gosus for offering to coach! Wish I could play.
|
I just wanna say thanks to CobaltBlu for setting this up and putting in so much effort, keep up the good work lad.

I know its late to ask for this but I feel like forcing the players to learn so many maps is too much. Most of the players involved are going to be putting a lot of effort into improving and expecting them to learn so many maps is going to really hurt them in their practicing. This event is for the players and not for the spectators (like gambit cup) so I think it would be a lot better to only have 3 maps each week.

Actually I really like this, keeping FS for familiarity then only having 2 maps players would have to learn. For instance I only really know FS and just am not going to have the time to try and learn 5 or 6 other maps. However, I think if this router was chosen the 2 non FS maps should be the current/new PL maps.

Rather the same 3 maps every week.

They are all really similar maps and easy to learn.

And if there is a cast, then the caster can choose 2-3 Bo3 he will cast, so the players will not wait as long as you imagine.
Just make a poll and if Bo1 wins, I am fine with it. The thing is I cannot understand why you would rather have a Bo1 instead of a more skillbased Bo3. Why would you want someone to luck a win against a better player (by cheese, build order win, etc.). I can imagine that there will be much cheese, since there is always a player, who thinks he is worse then his opponent. One way or another I cannot see anything, which shifts the favor into the Bo1 direction.

Bo3 would suck. Part of the reason altitude nation wars got stale for me, way too many games.

Maybe, but not everyone is in the same timezone. For me I can only really play 1 game.

I just wanna say that Angel[AoV] is the most amazing coach that any team has. He willingly spend 2 hours playing the worst noob ever for practice, going: 1. 1 base marine pressure 2. FE MM/tank 3.

So in my game against breakneckspeed, he does a nice push which decimates my army but I manage to throw back with only one probe lost. When I move out with obs I have some sloppy control and get rocked by mines I saw him plant and could see with observer, then I launch a completely fail reaver drop. Then my game crashes. So I tell break, he had me dead to rights, gg wp, but he lets me have a rematch anyways. More manner than an artosis pylon.
Second game I crashed out again, and told break to take the win.
I'll be sure to use a more stable computer next week!

Hey for the next round I think we should really consider (what I brought up before) reducing the number of maps used. I think it will make preparation a lot smoother for the players and the coaches. I think a lot of people would agree with me that this is a good idea so unless someone can come up with a good reason that I am incorrect it would be nice if this change could go into effect now.

I'm going to be reducing the matches to bo5 because not everyone from teams shows up and thus reducing the map count. People need to be patient though because updating the post, reassigning players, fixing the schedule etc. is actually quite time consuming.
Thank you for the concern.

You can upload longer videos by authorizing your account or something. I think they ask you to enter a phone number, then you enter the code they give you and you can upload longer videos.

I use virtual dub for that. it's easy to use and the compression is really good.

Why did you write "Walkover" for the rest of the games between Team 1 and Team 6 ? We agreed that they play multiple times, please fix that^^

I have some suggestions for how things could be run better. First, you should've made every team appoint some sort of leader or representative for their team. Lineups should be sent to the organizer of the tournament so people can know what matchup they're practicing for and it also helps makes things a little more organized. The times the games are played should be more flexible. 8am PST is seriously such a horrible time for people living in PST. So you could have the representatives of each team set up a better time where more people from each team will show up. The teams should've been organized by timezone so the members of each team could be online at the same time more often.
|
Hey all members of Team One. I was just added. We need to get together and figure out pracice times and schedules. Also we should probably find a coach. If anybody is interested in coaching PM me.

I'd personally really like pre-announced line-ups like they used to have in PL, makes it a lot more fun to practise IMO.

I updated the rosters a little bit to hopefully get the teams more active. I also changed some of the rules. I took out the /dnd and no obs rules, it is just too hard for me to enforce and causing problems, so please use your head when you include an obs in the game. I also went back to a bo5. I really wanted to do a bo7 so more people could play but it doesn't look realistic for every team to get 6 players to show up to play every time.
I wanted to use the first week as a kind of test week to see how things would flow and a number of things stood out to me.
1) I need better communication lines with the team representatives. If you have been communicating with me for your team I'm going to send you a PM to get skype/IM info from you.
2) Holgerius suggested this before I got a chance to make this post but arranged schedules of players from each team would make things go much more smoothly and give people a matchup to focus practicing on.
3) I mentioned earlier that I had been thinking about introducing some flex time in the schedule. ie. if your team is mostly west coast players and making game time is really difficult for you and you can get the other team to agree to play at another time on the weekend that would be fine as long as you notify me beforehand. Please give me some feedback on this.
If these changes are to go into effect properly that means that the players have to be active participants. Sorry for all the upheaval.

It would be nice if we could make it 1-2 hours earlier, and make it so we can play all the games concurrently. Then i can just play my game at 2am and sleep Last time I had to wait till 4:30am to play my game, coz of the streamer. Next time just stream the replays imo lol.
EDIT: Oh perhaps teams should declare which players are playing what position in advance???
Also for hype reasons, maybe have the current week showing in the OP (not in a spoiler).

Yeah.. the timing isn't good. Its never going to be good (because the earth is round ). 8am here in PST is pretty bad. 1-2 hours earlier would really screw us harder. I would like 1-2 hours later if anything. But then this screws you over
We need a better system fosure. I see no urgent reason for all games to be played concurrently or at once or all at one time. We are not good players... We just all love the game and want to get better. Sure its entertaining to have all 80 players online at once and all games played together, but this isn't a viable option for many. I'd rather have some awesome games in a way that it could help us all improve - we need to know exactly when our game is going to be played and we need to have enough time to practice and prepare for it and play at a reasonable hour (I played my game 8am).
Anyways, heres a solution that I think might work. CobaltBlu obviously can't micromanage every set. It has to fall on the teams to do so. I mentioned this in a previous post. Once each team rep has been picked - bold the rep's name on the roster so other players on other teams know who to contact. The league starts Sat 8am PST - and ends Sunday 12pm PST (Games are due by this time - if not, there will be severe consequences ). So the first three sets are decided ahead of time and each player can contact their opponent and play them when both are free (obviously its preferable to have the majority of games played at the same time, but I'd rather sacrifice that and have more and better games played over the weekend). Then the team leader assigns the last two sets if needed. Remaining games are then played whenever first possible. All games are then reported by the end of the weekend - I know this makes casting really hard, but if everyone is in the loop on when each game is going to be played it could work out great! Also if each team stays organized and all players know when they should play we could easily keep the bo7 format.
Could we set up a google doc or something that can be shared and edited easily to keep track of whos playing who? Or is there already another website set up that allows for easy teamleague set organization (kind of like z33k for sc2.. I feel like a thread isn't good enough to organizing when each game is going to be played and on what order and map.. Its great for results and discussions)
Also, people HAVE to be active for this to work. People have to stick to their times and get on when they promise. Other wise ti wont work.
EDIT: Created a google doc to help organize things: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ar4IxUNA-0mJdDY3eTROVFluOE1vX0JUN0tGRXVfQWc Will finish editing it later if you all wanna use it.. Basic idea - Each team mu is given and the map is shown. For each match it shows the Time Scheduled to play. This time can be changed before hand if both players agree.. Its there to give a general idea of when you should get online and play. If Australasian want it earlier and the opponent agrees well and good! We just need some definite way to keep track of when each game should be played.
Also I set it so anyone can edit so please don't fuck it up
Edit 2: only problem with this is races dont show... solutions: look that up on the thread or add race to each player's name ie. sgs.kal_ra (p)

I think the concept of that is nice but the end result becomes very convoluted and there is something to be said for simplicity. Everyone signed up for the time I set this at and as Eywa suggested it is a little silly to bend everything around for the minority when most people showed up on time anyway. I wanted to find a way to do some flex time but it doesn't look very plausible to me so I'm going to strike out that idea. Thank you for the discussion.
I've collected almost all the team reps and will be highlighting them in the post later and communicating with them. They will basically be responsible for giving me the lineup each week.

I was thinking, wouldn't it be a good thing to use the current PL format with no ace game? I think that goes really nicely with the concept of this league, and it allows one more dude to get into the line-up each week.

I took out the /dnd and no obs rules, it is just too hard for me to enforce and causing problems, so please use your head when you include an obs in the game. I also went back to a bo5. I really wanted to do a bo7 so more people could play but it doesn't look realistic for every team to get 6 players to show up to play every time.
I wanted to use the first week as a kind of test week to see how things would flow and a number of things stood out to me.
1) I need better communication lines with the team representatives. If you have been communicating with me for your team I'm going to send you a PM to get skype/IM info from you.
2) Holgerius suggested this before I got a chance to make this post but arranged schedules of players from each team would make things go much more smoothly and give people a matchup to focus practicing on.
3) I mentioned earlier that I had been thinking about introducing some flex time in the schedule. ie. if your team is mostly west coast players and making game time is really difficult for you and you can get the other team to agree to play at another time on the weekend that would be fine as long as you notify me beforehand. Please give me some feedback on this.
If these changes are to go into effect properly that means that the players have to be active participants. Sorry for all the upheaval.
Could there be some sort of formal way of upping it back to a Bo7 if both teams have the players to do so? I guess any sort of leeway is exploitable in some fashion, but at the moment most people seem to be using the lets just have everyone play approach.

I agree with that, as I had a walkover last week I was fearing missing the chance to play, it's a crappy feeling. Thankfully my team let me play the ace match. If it's Bo5 and 8 players per team there're already 3-5 people without the chance to play. The more players play the better.

I like the Bo5 because new players (like me) who are very very inexperienced could use the league as a practice rather than being fielded and losing every week.
|
We will use the happy medium of Bo5 with no ace then. I have reps for all the teams but one so I'll be asking for lineups soon.

Well, the weekly game is just one out of many. Unless you don't practice at all for it, in which case... ehhh...
But I'm happy with whatever the head honcho decides, as long as the league goes on.
|
I think its impossible to make everyone happy, CobaltBlu is making himself very available as a host and this is Cobalt's baby so I am just happy and excited to have this opportunity to be part of the SCBW community. I am not saying that everything is perfect as there are many things that we need to fix but please I don't want to hear some of the common complaints that are getting ridiculously over abused.
Yes I have to play at 4am in the morning to play a game but I know that if we made it earlier most of the US would be a sleep or another country etc, Also Bo5 is a very smart decision especially with the constant loss of certain players week on week.
And I like what 'Theshimmy' said re bo5 it not about finding a winning player or finding the best players in fact, this is about getting D-/D/D+ players to get involved and encourage players to be part of a tournament without the discouraging pressure a Higher ranked tournament would have.

What sucks is that only two other people from his team came last week.

i personally think that bo7 with acematch is way better since more people can play and ace matches are quite awesome. teams can/need tp kinda recruit new player if the line up isnt deep enough and even if they are some wo s at first but there are still people intrested to participate in this league out there. There would be a bigger incentive to share our luv for bw and get more fresh blood in the scene. Furthermore i d like to see a changing mappool for each week even if u just change 1 or 2 maps per week and leave the "standard maps like fs and circuit breaker in the mappool. it d give the league a litte more variance and since its rather casual u could use 1 funmap per week

Hey I'm wondering, is this week's game the same time as last week's?
27th Nov, 01:00 KST?

People from Team 3, please get on Skype and let me know if you want to play and what maps you want to play on. Most of you I haven't seen on Skype since I invited you and R-Dizzle still hasn't responded to my PM. If you want to play in a team league, please try to be part of the team and not just show up in the iCCup channel when the games are there and ignore the whole point of this being a team based thing the rest of the time.
|
I updated the op with the complete schedule for teams that submitted them. I am trying to get two rosters out of two more teams so sorry to the guys that don't know what to practice for yet.
I'll probably update maps later with the new proleague ones if kespa ever lets us download them and any change of time will happen after the December 24/31 break.

I like the Bo5, it gives players a chance to take a break especially because its a bad time for some players. I can't be fielded every week as it starts at 3am Sunday, and obviously Saturday is a day I go out and do stuff haha.

Game is still tomorrow at 11 AM EST, right?

Yes, nothing about that is changing unless I make a post about it.

I sent this PM to my team captain, and I quote exactly...
I played against sgs.gorg tonight, and had slayers_master and another sgs member obsing. i used a strategy that relied heavily on nukes, if they failed it was over for me. apparently because i used an orthodox strategy, gorg felt i was "too high rank" for the tournament... i think i played pretty bad, and i really do keep losing to D and D+ players on iccup because i haven't played in half a year or so. so i thought i could participate and try to use some fun builds as well, but people think that i'm just using it to have fun with lower ranked players. i think to avoid any such things from happening in the future, i think i'll withdraw. :/
it's' true that i was C- a couple of seasons back, but i took like half a year worth off from BW because i didnt have a comp and cause of studies. i started playing a bit more like a week before signups closed, and I realised my skill dropped pretty harshly, that I lost to D players. That's why I thought I could participate, since I was probably in the D+-ish range, but apparently people are rating my current skills as too high, and my previous season's records don't help against my stand. i think to prevent further upsets, I'll be withdrawing. it was fun while it lasted. gg, and all the best for the rest of the tourney. go team gg no re

what kind of bullshit is that? first of all i dont know why ure bringing this here , making me look like whining dude which im not. Second is yeah well i knew ure better than me , i saw ure off race winning against C- lvl players 1 week ago (when meanwhile im begginner who plays that game for less than month and just wanted to have fun in that tournament) , but i was fine with it, i was preparing some timing push to snipe you that failed sadly.
The thing why i got frustrated is because the entire game i felt like ure just playing with me (+ ur teammate made smily faces during game without ac on ) , even ur teammate said u could have easily be done with this game 30 mins earlier , and that was what i didnt like, i mean u can be better the opponent its np but that was just made me look like horrible noob which im probably am. uncool and humiliating.
But yeah u are right u didnt play it good i was surprised ure much worse than i expected u to be ure defienietely on that lvl i just suck vs unordinary things , i dont know why u bring that drama on here unless u want some followup to what happened.

I don't think that's necessary at all. There are other players who have been C- at one point in this tournament and I see no problem with it as long as you're not actually smurfing (which I don't think you are?). There is a huge difference between high D+ and D-, so a D- can easily feel completely outmatched by a D+ without anyone breaking any rules. That being said, if someone is clearly smurfing and several people complain about the same person being far too good for this league, I think Cobalt will be willing to have a look at it. No need to withdraw just because one person complains, although if there were other reasons for him to be angry (such as BM or distractions), that might call for a disqualification or something, but it's up for Cobalt to decide.

Honestly I don't see any drama. He just said that people felt that maybe his skills were too high for this league. If anything it sounds like he wants to avoid drama by just withdrawing even though he may not be at C- skill.

I'm less worried about someone like Kona who has been inactive for six months than I am about the people who signed up knowing the time but are super in-active. That's kind of lame for all the active teams who do show up and then don't have anyone to play against. -_- I hope Kona decides to not quit or at least work as some sort of coach for that team but that is up to him.

Hey Cobalt, is it possible to add a ninth player to our lineup (he's my friend)? He's pretty new to the game as he is a SC2 player but he wants to learn with a team instead of playing alone and I think that would be great for him and he could be available if we miss some players for a match like we almost always do

Glad some of you are enjoying the casts. I'm new to it but its fun to try and hopefully makes it a little more exciting for everyone involved.
On that note I am definitely open to feedback about things I can/should do better as a caster.
Also, is it possible to have player banners whilst being in non-window mode; or is window mode a requirement for that?

On that note I am definitely open to feedback about things I can/should do better as a caster.
I also want to thank L_Master for the amazing casts of the teamOne games last Sat! This guys is for real! perhaps the next KlazartSC of the 'D ranks Team League' The best manner and enthusiasm you could ever ask for, I only realised the other day that I had been casted lol, it made watching my game 10 fold more entertaining! Pleased accept this as fan mail.

I work saturday but I can make this week's match

Yeh, L_Master is pretty cool. :D And he's an awesome player too; he had the most safe and solid play you could possibly have on this level in our game in week 1. Was a good feeling losing to a toss and knowing I lost because I was simply outplayed and not just losing to some stupid random bullshit. XD 'Twas an enjoyable game.

Damn. well if we play you as ace since your one of our highest rank players maybe you will possibly play later which may help with timings. PM me regarding when your work times so our team can manage around it.

Practice games today and tomorrow for anyone who wants to show up, I'll be on all day playing/organizing practice matches minus of course obvious needs of getting food and what not.
Server: iCCup Channel: op drtl
Probably just going to be setting up KOTHs/practice matches for anyone who shows.
Edit: I'll be in and out of games so whisper me if I'm not there.
Edit well 2 players came and practiced ;P Was fun going to eat now.
|
Man, you guys are too flattering. Much <3!
I'm glad people seem to be enjoying it but now ya'll gotta tell me what I can improve on to make it better. One thing I want to do for sure is getting the overlay; but I need to know if/how to make it work with non-window mode.
EDIT: The only downside is that only one series is getting casted per week; so I am considering casting from replays for all the matches a bit later in the day once all matches have been played.
|
I'm online again, looking for people to come play some games! op drtl or whisper eywasc

Team gg no re. I think we'll have to reschedule our remaining matches sometime later this week.
Here is our remaining lineup: KTF_CloaK <Fighting Spirit> don_kyuhote <Match Point> demolitionboy <Circuit Breaker> Players pm to reschedule.

Luckily I managed to continue the match even though the servers disconnected (P2P ftw!).

Man I made so many mistakes that game, come home from party + drunk + 3am = forgetting you made a CC and making another one. xD
Good night guys, thanks for the games!

Teams that cannot find a solution to play the rest of their games will have to reschedule to later this week. I'll post Xsebt's awesome guide to installing Fish in the OP so if this happens again everyone can just find their games there.

Cobalt set date but please at the same time

Does anyone from ggnore want to Play On CB or do i play it

I'll take Circuit Breaker.

Hi guys, thanks for the games yesterday, enjoyed watching the stream of DRTL. I will be away from iCCup for the next week, and this Saturday as Im catching a flight to Seoul so will not be able to play. Hopefully I will catch some Proleague games whilst up there:D

Thanks to Teams 1,2,3 and 7 for working together to get their matches played today even after iccup reset their server. I'll try and work out with the other teams a time to get games played. If any of you guys are working things out on your own already awesome!.

sorry for not showing up for team freedom today.
I would like to be removed from the team roster as this league conflicts with my basketball season and I wont be available on saturday mornings for the next few months.

We took you guys to all 5 matches losing 2-3 and without fielding our two top players. That should tell you something of our team's depth and talent.
But yeah it was a long day of matches and periods of waiting but I think it was great fun.
Team 2 HWAIGTING!

Hey, just wanted to say here that my new aka is now BaD]Seed
Thank you

Shot a PM to don_kyuhote, but I'll post it here just in case. I can play my match on CB after the SPL games.
|
Are we waiting for the rest of the teams to play before results are updated? Would be nice to see the OP regularly updated if needed.

don_kyuhote and I will be playing on Match Point, in the 4th set of our 3rd week match in GG NO RE vs Team 8.

hey RQ and Team freedom, should we try to set up a match sometime this week?
everyone on these teams should message me times that work, like in the next few days. just like an hour in kst time would work, and then whoever has overlapping times can play or something.
|
I already talked with one of your teammates. He told me that most of your team is from USA, so nights EST would work. Add the players or add rQTeam. I'm online most of the time at nights (EST).
Regards

Unfortunately I am needed to cover someones shift tomorrow so I won't be able to cast; though if I do get reps I'll be happy to cast from reps.

Team ggnore come ggnorevsfreedom fast fast gogo

Dear Team 1 players:
Please show up.
kthxbye

LuvMyCap, where'd you go?

So does anyone know what happened with Team1 vs RQ? We (T1) were up 2-0 but we only had 2 players, and they had 5 at one point, but then they all disappeared and only had 1 left who hadn't played.

I think I'll leave the team if something like that happens once more. Win both of the actual games and give 3 walkovers. Stay classy team 1.
EDIT: We lost 2-3.

How does that work? So we won all our games but we lost? I am really upset about not playing but I I knew it would be a walk over because of it geez! Can someone alabarate?

Then Cr4zyh0r5e's game started, I left there. Later, I learned from CobaltBlu and Cr4zyh0r5e that Cr4zyh0r5e also won but nobody else from Team 1 showed up whereas rQ team actually had players that could play. So, we got walked over. 2-3.

T.T
You know I would have played if it was possible. At the airport at the moment. I was kind of hoping the rest of the team would show up or at least give notice so we could tell cobalt. If it is possible maybe I can play the third in the next day or so or gu.tetraspace so at least we have a real decider.

You played 4 games in 3 weeks, and you also noticed me and the rest of teamliquid. You did everything correct. The deal is I don't know where the following players are: Justolamas, [dbHs]agentmao, theshimmy (I think something extraordinary happened, otherwise he would show up), ohn (guy didn't even answer my PMs, not even once), gu.tetraspace (I think he works on saturdays, last week he could spare the time but this week he couldn't).
I understand being busy but nobody can explain me how not notifying people is better than notifying people.

Yeah as I said, I work saturdays, perhaps if the other team agrees to postpone one match I could get you guys a win but aside from that, I can only be a practice partner right now.
Edit: That being said, I'll be playing on the 24th if you guys need me.

Is it possible to join a team still?
|
It sucks we got walked over 3-2. I couldn't come because my dorm wifi has been down for two days. Is there no way for us to play some make-up sets??
|
You can still join a team. If you sign up I will put you on Team 1.
I'm just abolishing Team 10, if you were on that team and still want to play say so and I will put you on an active team. Anyone who plays Team 10 gets a free win and a bye.
Sorry I can't try and organize make up matches for Team 1. Only two of you showed up on game day.
PLEASE send me replays instead of making me try and remember who won what set from memory for results. It is very hard.

Sorry, I'm a bit too lazy to find all the profiles in my team and msg them so I'll do it here:
I can play this Saturday if it's before 2PM EST (Send me out in the first two sets?) and next Sat before 4PM EST
Edit: As a side note, I don't see why our team couldn't field players twice. Other teams seem to have done that.

All the matches start at 11 am EST so I don't see the time being an issue there.
Both teams have to agree to allow to replay players. All the teams that have have had at least 3 players anyway.

I will be at the Pc Bang tonight, if noGG are happy with me to play my game on west/asia I will be up for it.

Wait so the games arent played on iccup? and i'll get pmed by my captian if im in the lineup?

No no I was just having issues geting on iccup for my game.. I now a officially am on iccup, so nevermind!

Sorry I slept in again GGNORE. On another note, now that I'm back home my internet is pretty crappy. Playing in the mornings kinda sucks since it gets better at night (when everyone's asleep). Oh and I know for sure I can't make the Saturday on the 31st.

There is no way someone that was in [aLive], Neo.G. and so many other korean clans be D. Plus, it clearly says he's B- in his stream. I think you're wrong!

Hey now that I have access to my internet all day I would love to coach! There's a lot of late comers to D league and perhaps I could form a team with them.
@GGzerg If you want to go over some of your reps with me this afternoon I will be around . Maybe together we can figure out what are some of the major flaws in your play that are holding you back, and hopefully I can help you build a solid foundation on how to play each of the MU's in a way that makes a little more sense 8p.
I understand BW can be a tough game but don't give up! D+ is just around the corner 8D!

Lol @ puppykiller&lumire's words on GGzerg.
Other than that, I won't be able to participate for this and next weeks because of my final exams.

Are you 'B-' who uses 'current strategies' that pros from korean clans use? Will you be charging money for coaching? I would likemore info

Hey someone know where "Knight_of_Ni" (thats his ICC nick) is? Still need to play him from playdate 3 or 4?

It is highly unlikely that I will be able to show up tomorrow due to work.

This makes the second player that quits our team. Both had a teammate observing their game without AC on. Seriously? You guys, it's observing, not "lol let's say shit about the game". Sportsmanship, much? We had a strong lineup at the start and now we're just withering down. We wouldn't have went 5-0 without Conversion and Kona.

We just lost by walkovers. It's sad how many people can't show up each week. I guess we are all eagerly waiting for the next season so we can keep active players in because right now it seems almost impossible to have a full bo5.
Anyway, I really enjoy the league so I'll keep coming each week but having less teams but more active players would be so great. I know someone on our team stopped playing, some are just totally inactive. I may add another friend on our team because I know he's active and willing to play (He's D+) so that would help us not losing by walkovers

Well the thing is that we're usually more than enough but this week only 2 players showed up. I know one couldn't participate so it's alright for him but one of us was there but afk the whole time so he couldn't play.

I couldn't make it today =/ Stupid work We really need a bunch of roster shifts, to get out the inactives and get more active people in, maybe even merging teams

Rage Quit didn't show up but takk 3 players showed but by 8:45 pst 2 people came but no games were played...... I mean i didn't want to waste time if a team doesn't have a player show up on time T_T

Should be some sort of a draft after this 'season' ends, with most active players selected as captains getting to pick who they want on their teams. Or something :p

Im really embarassed but i tried to explain on skype that i have no chance on playing. I simply doesn´t have any working internet AND have been on a train for the past two weeks I will try so hard to be there next week, but the internet problem is still a factor. Maybe ill go to a internet café just to get a working connection (do they even have BW installed on those computers any more? Probably not ). Cya in skype !

Yeah I don't blame you, I knew you had a reason but all the others didn't showed up anyway so there was only me and artiom.
Try to find a computer with internet we need you !

Believe me, i try to do everything i can. just haven´t worked out past couple of weeks. Now i have internet, but thats bc im on vacation ^^
|
Sorry for the slow updates on last weeks results guys. I just started classes this week and the end of holiday break was hectic so I just haven't found time to sit down and format everything correctly. I'll update it tomorrow.
I can't do much about people being inactive this season. I took just about everyone who signed up and tried to overload the rosters compared to how many games needed to be played but many people are inactive anyway. Good news is that a number of the teams are really active and those are mostly doing well. I've definitely thought about merging teams but we're almost done with the normal league schedule.
|
Hey CobaltBlu, can you add another one on my friend to team 3? He's really active and I'm confident he'll be there each week. And also you can change the team rep to me and remove derpdog from the team, he personally told me he stopped playing and that I should take his place. Thanks!

Ok I updated some stuff. Someone from Team 1 and Team 8 report and Team 7 please help me fill in the rest of your match from last week.
I'm letting people recruit for their own teams so if you know someone who wants to join in the last few weeks please post their info here and tell me where they can go. That means I'm fine with puppykiller collecting together a couple of the teams that are struggling to make a roster like Freedom and Team 8 and coaching them.

Who is playing for team One in 8 hours?
Please confirm because I have a feeling almost all of our players bar 2 are available. Im not losing again to a walk over due to no players even when we won all games.

We allowed one team to field players twice, and they won... Team 8 was gracious enough to do the same for us last week as well. Hopefully, other teams will understand that sometimes situations are inescapable, and the committed should not be faulted for the absence of those that are not... In the end, we all just wanna play, right?
BTW I want to use this opportunity to let my team and our future opponents know that I will not be able to play at the current set time starting next week, due to work. I will usually be available for the make-up matches at most other times over the weekend.

just realize its supposed to be at 9am for me. and its almost 2. 7 hours sleep, hopefully i wake up from my alarm.

Team ggnore lets win now plz.Again i want to ask conversion to forgive me

Yeah. I'm still in Rome with no mouse. I'll be able to start playing against next week, though. This thing is gonna need a season 2. Good luck Team 1 :D

Every single game I've been completely wasted T_T. More because its just after a Saturday night, more than anything else lol.
I wish it was during the day, I'd be fine then. (I realise that would suck for everyone else though)

Yeah man. Stream needs to be featured as well.
Question: Are we now in the playoffs or do we have 2 weeks left?
|
Two weeks left. Although, I imagine there might be a third week for tie-breakers? Or will it be decided by who beat whom (like, if two teams are in 4th place, but Team 1 beat Team 2 during the season, then Team 1 will get the spot)?
|
The league starts on Saturday, Nov 19 9:00am MST (GMT-07:00) and takes place on every Saturday following that. It will conclude on January 14 2011 followed by a two week playoff.
If I understand that right it means next week would be the beginning of the playoffs. Regular league should have concluded yesterday.

Yeah but this could be a miscalc, because we haven't played team 2 and team 3. Maybe he didn't factor in the 2 week break on the holidays?

That's my bad. I hadn't originally meant to have the two week break. Ill fix it when im not on my phone.

I'm sorry to Team One for my super prolonged absence. Thanks to you all for your patience. Next season I'll be back and far more improved and dedicated. Congrats on performing well towards the end and turning the season around.
Going back for the second semester has been a pretty busy experience.

What would be cool is a winners-league where you could only have a certain amount of players from each rank and you had to play in order of rank.
As each player wins there's the possibility of a lower rank beating a higher rank but eventually the higher ranks will face each other last. You probably won't get an all-kill from the D rankers, but seeing D players beat C players would always be awesome to watch, and a lower rank winning would still give breathing room for the higher rank players.

How about A and B teams, both of which compete in a match? B teams being everyone below C-, A team being everyone at and above.

I think ranks are a sub-optimal way of forming teams. If a D beat a C player, I'm willing to bet money that the "D" player would really be "C" rank if they laddered more, barring the possibility of the C player performing poorly. If anything, just run an entire amateur league concerned with its own win/loss, letting teams decide by actual relative play capability versus a letter ranking on a private ladder. Yeah, some nobody "B-teamer" might have a specially prepared build to snipe a team's ace, but if his overall record is poor, it'll reflect that's all he's capable of.
I do agree with someone running a C Rank Team League, though.

I do agree with someone running a C Rank Team League, though. This is true, somewhat. Even Flash doesn't win all of his games though. BW is a game where advantages can snowball by chance as well as by choice. Advantages can be created through chance as well, like BO choice or moments of absent-mindedness or a particularly lucky tactical choice (sometimes people move out randomly and it hits a perfect window, like in PvP when a player is going to harass with their reavers, and the enemy shows up at their doorstep blindly...). A D rank can beat a C rank can beat a B rank can beat an A rank, but that doesn't necessarily mean that lack of games is holding them back... Sometimes you just beat players who are much better than you overall. If a C rank player beat an A rank player, I would bet money against you stating that he can't ladder to get to A right off the bat.
Ranks are also very tricky in other ways. For example, I haven't been able to stay in C- for more than a few games all season, with a 35% winrate at D+ right now. However, I was a C high in the past. Should I be in a C rank league? Should I truly be allowed to be in this D league? ):
I do think that the idea of making trades or transfers between teams should be looked at, btw. Not that I dislike my team haha xD Some teams have problems with activity, some got a poor or strong hand in the sorting of players, etc. Just a suggestion ^^

Ladder games negate a lot of strategy and metagaming skill because you have no information on the other player and its always a Bo1.
In ladder you can just do the same build order every game and you will just use winrate to move up the ranks, but tournaments won't work like that because you have to use short-term goals not a long-term goals.
These skills are the ones that allow a lower rank player to beat a higher rank player, which is why ladder is much more consistent with "skill" than in tournaments.
|
Aye, because they emphasize different skills I don't think it's good to just say "Well, he's D on iccup, so we should keep him at the D level (or count him on the roster as a D-rank)" while he's completely tearing through the other D's in the league. In the context of a mixed ranked league, at least.

Hey Cobaltblu, could you change Jakolo<<Circuit Breaker>>rQ.Carmax, ''o'' to ''a''. And I dont really remember whether that was Carmax that I played in that game, but he was zerg not terran, so probably not.

Sorry to D ranks teamleague, I'm leaving the league because exams/busy life.

First win, im so proud. Gonna be exciting this saturday since both us (team 3) and ggnore are 5-3 and are playing for a playoff spot. Wowzi!

There is a really good chance that we will have to have some sort of tie-breaker to decide the final playoff position too.

Can i still sign up? or fill some spot from someone who left

Hey Cobalt, would you mind updating the map pool?
Thanks!

Hey Cobalt,
Being as there is a great chance that TAKK and GGNORE are tied for 3rd/4th at the end of this week, how will the seeding be determined?
Also, if we end up not playing this week, how is that seed determined with Team 2? Basically lots of tie breaker issues, please address.
Not likely that we will have a tie for 4th/5th though being as GGNORE plays team 3 this week.
|
I'll use the overall player win percentage of a team to determine tie-breakers like these.
|
On January 27 2012 23:30 CobaltBlu wrote: I'll use the overall player win percentage of a team to determine tie-breakers like these. If I may make a suggestion: using the relative stats of the two teams? For example, if Team A beat Team B during regular season play, and they are in a tie-breaker situation for the 4th slot, then Team A gets the position because of their previous win to Team B.
Just a thought, I don't think overall player win percentage is a bad way to go either ^^; (doesn't affect me anyways haha).

why dont we just play another match between the 2 teams?

Now that I have seeds sorted out.
The playoffs will start this this weekend with Team 7 vs TAKK and Team 2 vs Team 3! I have a few question for those involved. Would you prefer it at the same time on the same day? Or would you all like it to be a few hours later on Saturday or Sunday?

Lets stick to the same time frame shall we, i know that my team(team3) are prepared to go(i hope all show since we are only 5 ppl total now) on saturday! For me it doesnt really matter

It would only be fair if you didn't have enough active players. It would be pretty unfair if a team picked up a good player which replaced an active bad player.
What would be cool would be an all-stars match, where you got the best players and put them into 2 teams and casted the games. :D

I should be 5-1, not 4-2. I won last week's game that I had

Hey TAKK,
If we could make an arrangement so that any match that isn't played at 17CET could be played at 21CET rather than W.O it would be great. A lot of us have other things to do than BW in life and it doesn't make sense to completely ruin the league with playoff W.Os all over the place. So, I hope you see what I'm saying here, already talked to Cobalt about it.

We have sick people in our team, hope we can get a full team for tomorrows games anyway TT. Looking foward to beating team 2!

When/if I do another Season I will make a new topic for it.
I've gotten some PMs about a new season and how I would be handling it. I learned a lot from this season and I would probably go with a method where people could sign up with teams and then pick up those who don't have a team of their own. I found that the teams that acted like this in this season were the most successful both in terms of the quality of their players and in getting people to show up. I've also gotten a lot of input on how to combine C rank players into this league and that is something that I'm still trying to figure out. I would also probably change the time to something that is more available to players.
However, before I start making any moves on another season I want to make sure we successfully complete this one!

This has been great, the one flaw is attendence. I know that i´ve missed 3 that i just couldnt compete in. Stood over one (too many people that was in attendence), missed the time first round and havent gotten to my map in 3 since my team is too damn gosu. Im gonna think about if im gonna play next season, but at least i think ill be a back up player for my amazing team. Looking forward to le grande finale. Thanks cobalt for organizing this!

Yea for me i missed like 2 weeks due to me not waking up since its like 8 or 9 am after a night of SPL. :/

Interesting how the common theory is that PvT is hugely in favor of P at the low levels, yet we see almost exactly 50% in that matchup over 40 games in this league.
Edit: though it does seem to be true that protoss is by far the most played race at lower levels, among foreigners at least.
When is the finals cast?

We´re the definate underdogs here (team 3 that is). If we win it would be a huge upset. Just look at the poll above!
|
Team 3 did beat team 7 before. Team 3 has a small bit focused team and the skill of their players seems really high as they 3-0 ed team 2 in the semis while team 7 barely made it in. If anything I think team 7 are the underdogs
|
Huh... Honestly don't know who's going to win, team's are about even in terms of top tier players of this league, though team 7 has more depth, there's no arguing that... However, that only applies if we get into sets 4-5... Even then, not so much if it were Bo7, Team 7 would be a sure win, but as it is, slightly favored... but who knows.
|
Does team 7 really have more depth? Looking at this i feel like Team 3 is like KT and team 7 is like CJ. It is a bo5 and team 3's top 3 looks strong and you only need 3 wins.
|
Well since we are only 5 players we would be sure to loose in a bo7 Also, i was just trying to play the underdog-card there, It seems pretty close. I hope no one is casting the games since ill be super duper nervous. I also dont hope for a T or a P, or a Z.
EDIT: Im also one win away from hitting C-, that should be scary to face in the finals, right? :D

You shouldn't be nervous. We're playing for fun here firstly
I think it's pretty cool to have a final against a team we won just 3-2. It should be the hell of a fight.

Well personally I don't get that much nervous since Brood War is fun and having a great CW is all about fun imo... FUN FUN FUN
But yeah it's different for each individuals. But we must keep in mind that if this gets casted, it's still a D level competition so mistakes are more than likely to happen so no one should take it personally and start to shake whenever something like this happens.
|
Yea same for me, I would be a little nervous but it will be fun regardless. If you're almost C- then i'll play more underdog cards.
|
A couple days ago L_Master said that he would definetely cast it. I think the series will be pretty close, I've been pretty happy with the team parity when everyone shows up.

I was casted by L_master like week 3, got raped out of my clothes. Doesnt make sense to be nervous but that is what happened. Anyways, been getting some quality coaching from a swedish b- dude so i hope ill do okay, or at least not as bad as i do against him (he rapes me in every match up)

Good luck! ^_^

Same for me, but mainly because I'm not nervous at all and the other guy is, giving me an advantage I think. Sometimes I say I'm nervous at live local tourneys (SC2) coz its fun to hype it up with friends, but its nothing like playing a musical instrument in front of a crowd or anything like that.
I think Jaedong said it best "what's the point?". There's no point being nervous, especially when there's no money on the line.
First and really only time I was ever really nervous, was playing a game against G5 on his stream. Mainly because I knew people would just see me get owned and somehow thought it would be a bad reflection on me if I didn't at least give him some competition (which I didn't) :D

I will say for me the key to nerves has always been focus on the task. Your nervous because your thinking about all the wrong things: "people watching", "making a fool of yourself", "letting your team down", etc. On that note there are really too kinds of nerves. Everyone is nervous before a big match, its the type and how it's channeled that matters. One type is just the intensity and expectation for a big match, your pumped up and want to do well, whereas the other variation is where instead of being excited in a positive way your scared shitless and worrying about "Oh god I'm gonna mess this up".
What then, does one do? In my opinion the key is your focus. You channel the nervousness to being solely focused on the game. Upon your execution. One thing to this end that I have found really helpful is a pre-shotgame routine. You approach each game the same way every time. Before you start maybe you have a way you adjust the monitor, or a way you get your mouse and keyboard comfortable how you want them. Same thing for the first few minutes, having established way in which you spam and click around. This consistency ends up creating a comfort level and puts you back in the zone. It reminds you I have done this thousands of times and allows you to just sink back into the comfort of playing rather than being focused on all the things that could go wrong.
EDIT: If anyone needs a protoss practice partner message me. EDIT2: Yes, I plan on casting the finals, hopefully live. I have an 8km race that morning, which between travel and WU/CD I will be at that from say 21:16 GMT (+00:00) to 21:16 GMT (+00:00). Anytime around that will work.

Dunno what this is about rescheduling or whatever but I'll just let everyone know that I'll be busy after 1800 GMT tomorrow. If we play on time (which I believe is 1600 GMT?) it should be fine.

I don't intend to reschedule to final match. The games will just have to be casted from replays afterwards.

Such hard feelings in this match, i cant believe it! Its a competition for FUN people, please calm the fuck down and enjoy.

GG, its unfortunate that I didn't join earlier. I could've played 2 more games, but I couldn't wake up for the life of me. Both playoff games have been fun.
Today I woke up at 8, logged in and went back to sleep. So sorry if i didn't respond lol

Yeah we're going to have to lower salary by 50% because of that.
So, our game is finished but I won't spoil the results. It's been a fun 14 weeks in this league, minus some minor hiccups, but those are to be expected

Your team had no terrans. That really hurts us.
essbee and panix best match up is vT we have 2 other toss and skegg is not bad in vT either
Anyway gg!
Edit: + Show Spoiler +And Match Point was 5th set so we just played it after for fun. So it could have been 3-2 instead of 3-1

So it could have been 3-2 instead of 3-1 I think you're quite wrong on your statement. + Show Spoiler +First three sets should have been 3-0, however, our PvP sniper broke down due to Cobalt/razryv basically forcing him to play in lag... I mean, Sabas should have probably just subbed himself out because it wasn't just the lag that killed him, but also the emotional toll of dealing with the situation... So I mean, really without all the issues we had, I had your lineup all planned out for a 4-1 (the 1 being game 5), had all my players on the proper sets.
Not to mention, 2 gate in lag is pretty gay regardless of how my player performed.

Thank you sooooooo much Cobaltblu for organizing this ! I really hope for a second season, which i think will work out beautifully since we now know which people are active and which aren´t. It has given me a purpose to practice and a great team to play with/against. Im really sorry about the unnecessary drama in the finals, there is no call for that at all from anyone. Cheers!

Yeah no, Drama was mostly because of that lag... My player just went off completely. Not a huge deal, was near the end anyways.

I feel honored that I(voodooscience) took a game off of top player Essbee back in week 1. Boy did it feel good when he gg'ed
Even though I only played for 3 weeks and shamelessly disappeared, I had a lot of fun participating in this. Hopefully everybody had a lot of fun, especially those who diligently showed up every week. Respect!

Haha yeah you gave me my first loss of the season with that doom drop in my main. It was a pretty good game. It's the probably the one I remember the most because of how I misanswered your drop by pushing while I had map control. I hate myself for that but props to you for being able to close the game. It was probably my favorite (fun-wise) game of the season along with that ace match vs sabas on match point.
On another topic, I hope we'll have more people showing up for the next season, active people that is. We, team 3, had a lot of fun because everyone had a reason to practice their map and almost everyone showed up each week at the matchs. And we could probably include C players so maybe we have more people depending on how many players sign up?
Anyway, it was pretty fun and I eagerly look forward to the next season.

Funny thing is, I don't play much TvTs, but most of TvTs that I win, I win like that Doom drop their main, make them panic, make them suicide their armies into my sieged tanks, move across the map and contain/starve them to death. I didn't move out quick enough that game, and I actually thought I was going to lose when your battlecruisers really started doing damage, but I guess mass turrets do pretty well against BCs.
Also, pretty cool that you didn't lose after Week 1.

Yep, I'm more confident now in TvT because I always protect myself from doom drops. TvT really is my best matchup now. But yeah turrets + goliaths > BCs. I should just have kept my tanks in the map so they could defend my BCs from your gols. That was such a bad move haha. But yeah after my 2 losses in week 1 (I was pretty disappointed letting my team down like this lol), I've been on this huge winning streak. I think ReZuya on Aztec was the only match I really had no clear advantage through the whole game. It was pretty one sided for him.

Congrats to Team 7 for winning. Also, I apologize to sabas, I should have just let you sub out instead of getting frustrated.
Anyone that is interested in a season two of this should head over to the season 2 thread by Nikon! Bring your team.
