What if specter played against a random player, does he go random? Similarly any race picker should have 1 race picked vs an unknown opponent race. The last second switching in the countdown is also useless if they have to declare race during the opening seconds of the game, so I don't quite understand the logic in allowing them to do it. edit: I would also personally go onto the server to get selected races fom the players in these instances I don't think you understood that there was no match up that these two players would agree on. There's no point in wasting the referee's time and attention on a problem which is going to leave one player getting terribly destroyed anyway. One of the disadvantages of being a race picker is that sometimes you'll end up against another race picker who doesn't pick the same way you do. I don't see any reason to encourage race picking by creating rules that waste everyone's time for the sake of a problem which can't be fixed barring the banning of race picking. Furthermore, your inquiry doesn't follow any of the standards set in the thread, nor are you a team leader. This discussion is closed, the ruling will not change, given that there is no point in cluttering the thread with it more. Leaders may still send me PMs with their concerns. | ||

In another words, ban race pickers. for those who dodge zvz tvt and play pvz tvz instead, go back to practice zvz. Because I don't have to, there won't be many games which this rule affects, so to ban all race pickers because of 1 or 2 games they might run into... not worth it. | ||

Or let them dodge zvz but force them to announce all their matchups before the tourney? Like ZvP, ZvT, TvZ. | ||

That looks like specter just doesn't wanna play any macro games or something. Solution is pretty simple imo u dont allow people to race pick more than 1 mirror. Mirrors are lame anyway. | ||

And since when are mirror match ups no macro games? especially TvT and PvP oftenly come into longer games which are macro games. ZvZ is alot more about micro than macro, true, but besides that, you're talking quite alot of nonsense. | ||

The fact that none of the losing players gave the following players a heads up on the opening specter was using confuses me because he didn't deviate anything. edit: where can I find the map line up for the week? | ||
