People who are more than 1 race should really be letting Nikon know what race they plan to play before they see their opponent... Otherwise it's unfair imo. Oh please tell me we're not going to have the same drama as in that C rank tournament... This is the D rank team league, not an OSL final. Personnally not sure if I really want to see my game casted... For the lulz maybe... ... Lineups are posted ahead of time so that people can prepare, how can I know what to practice against if my opponent lists himself as Z P for example? I want to practice only the match-up I am going to play, just like my opponent gets to due to knowing MY race. I don't understand why there has to be drama, it's pretty simple for people to say what race they will play when line-ups are sent, and johnny23 is not involved. I agree. This race picking drama needs to be nipped in the bud before it really starts to get ugly. Pick a race, and play. PM your opponent once the line-up are chosen, if someone is random let him be, and if someone offraces for a match-up, it only causes a problem if two people meet, in that case, let them decide this between them. I don't really see the problem.
The problem is that the person who signed up with multiple races gets to change his race after knowing his opponents' race. I'm not saying he can't play different races or matchups, I'm saying he needs to determine what race he will play when the lineup is sent just like the rest of us.
Let's say I want to play FS because Team X has been sending the same player on that map every week, and he has weak TvP. He sees that he is facing a P, and then chooses Z instead, after knowing he would be at a disadvantage. That's not fair imo. Note: I am not saying that the person has to choose just 1 race every game, they should have the freedom of saying PvT TvZ ZvT for example. But what the hell does both Z and P mean? It just means that they pick as they feel like it, imaginably after knowing their opponent.
I'm not blaming anyone of doing this, I'm saying it's a possibility and that's not right.

Not my fight, but I need to clarify that the rule states "if two players are race pickers," not "if one player is a race picker," Babo is not a race picker so you need to clarify what race you will be playing for the lineup.

Derp... It clearly states that you only need to announce before the game if both racepick... dunno where you have any evidence to back these claims up with. The rules are fairly straight forward.

To Team 8, I'm sorry, but I have to bow out of the team
I can't make practices because of school, I can't make games because of work
And I just lost my uncle, this last week. Which is why I couldn't make it to today's session
I'm sorry about all of this, but if you need someone to practice with, or if you need to gain some confidence, PM and I'll try to be active

On topic of the racepicking thing... Personally, I don't care enough about it to carry on a lengthy argument, but my opinion is it's kind of lame, and if people don't state explicitly what matchups they play but instead only 'announce' their race when the game is about to start it's just dumb. I spend maybe 3-4 hours a week playing BW if that, I was very happy to see that we'll know our upcoming matchups in advance because it gives me an opportunity to try out builds that may be more interesting than just generic "get 3 bases, max out, a-move" stuff; I can't do that if I don't know what race my opponent will play. The fact that a race-picker sidesteps matchups they consider themselves to be less comfortable in is already an advantage in itself, I really don't see why shouldn't I know their picks in advance.

What if the race picker is less active and wants to give himself a chance against the active player (not saying that is the case here, just throwing that out there).

Why don't we just all list ourselves as race pickers so no one knows what we're going to play!

That's one case out of many potential cases. Sethronu just outlined the opposite case, where the player who doesn't racepick is highly limited on time, meaning the racepicker can get in over twice as much practice (half the matchups, more time.) Everything else held equal, the racepicker who doesn't announce his matchup simply has an unfair advantage in practice time. The advantage may be insignificant or forgivable, but it's an advantage nonetheless.
That said I'd like to ask again if Team 4 or Advisory could please reveal Advisory's matchup scheme?

Well, the way I see it, if there isn't really a requirement to state the matchups you will play, I might as well cite myself as a racepicker and just 4-pool / proxy rax whenever I feel like I'm playing an unfavourable matchup or map. I mean, why not?
|
Also I might as well change my race at the last minute the day of because I might as well just go zvp and 5pool.

My god thats just a funleague... guys calm down srsly.
I might be biased because I am random/racepicker myself, but srsly you act like someone really practices specifically for his opponent on the playdate. lol get real, i dont think anyone gives that much about this league to dedicate himself so much and if so he will still have an advantage against someone who didnt practice at all ...

I for one prepare with my specific opponent in mind. It would be stupid not to and it's not a question of dedication at all. Some ppl play 50 practice games a week and watch 10 relevant progames in preparation for their match. Then there are ppl who play 5 practice games and only watch 1 progame vod. If you know the race of your opponent it helps your preparation in both cases, because you know what matchup to study and practice.
The solution to this problem is simple. When sending the lineup, just make sure that all matchups are written out, like this.
1. (Z) zergman PvZ
When it's written out like that it's pretty obvious that he plays ZvP, PvZ and ZvT, so his opponent will know what race to prepare for.

in regard to the whole race picking situation... i strongly agree that you shouldve be allowed to pick what race u want day of the match because like the others said you already know what to practice for etcetcetc. i have a few people on my team that play different races as well and its pretty obv solution what i have done when i send in my lineups on wed. if your partner wants to say play as zerg vs a protoss but his main race is zerg u strictly write in the line up to nikon ***NAME**** Terran (Zerg if opponent protoss) ....
and in regards to the person who said people dont train for the matchups i think most people actually do i mean although this is a d league people still treat it as a league... not just to have fun but they still want to win and prove that they have what it takes to either by like this quoted person said training 50 games watching 10 vods or playing very minimal games at all
