Season 7 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HEOx20K.gif)
Please read below. There have been some MAJOR changes!
THE BIG CHANGE: This is going back to true D-/D/D+ ONLY.if you have hit C- at ANY point you'll be ineligible this time around. In case of seemingly strong players without ladder results they will be evaluated by a committee consisting of myself, and several others (TBA). It's subjective, but that is how it's going to be done.
It hasn't been an issue in the past but I want to be abundantly clear. If you have been C-/C/B/A++ at any point, do NOT post your max rank as D+ xxxx pts. This applies to any account. If you've been 5000 pts on one account, but only 2700 on another your max rank must be posted as 5000.
Failure to read and follow this properly will result in a permanant ban from ALL future D Ranks events.[/big] http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/D_Ranks_League/DRIT_7
Format and Date:
There will be 32 players, Dual Tournament style groups. + Show Spoiler [Example] + Example group A: A, B, C, D
A > B C < D
A < D B < C
A > C
A, D advance
After that, the 16 players will be randomly seeded into a single elimination bracket. Maps will be predecided.
When (Default Game Times):
Group stages: Saturday, Nov 02 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
RO8: Saturday, Nov 09 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) SEMIFINALS: Saturday, Nov 16 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) FINALS: Saturday, Nov 30 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
Where:
Channel op DRIT @ ICCup is common meeting place, but any server can be used
Who can play: This league is only for D-/D/D+ rank players who are willing to participate consistently. This means MAX RANK. On ANY account. You cannot signup with a D account if you have been yellow or higher on another.
You may ask to play even if you don't fit the criteria and we will review the case.
**The exception are players with previous DRTL/DRIT entries. Most of these players are exempt for having to inform me of their situation as I already am aware.**
How to sign up: You can indicate your interest by posting your:
TL Name: XXXXX ICCup Akas: Main ID, other known ID 1, other known ID 2, etc. Highest Max Rank achieved on ANY account Race/Matchups: (Please just use letters, ie. TvZ/PvT instead of the tlpd icons. It's much easier to read) DRTL Team you're on/Previous DRITs:
New Players to DRIT: Please include your ICCup account name that has at least 20 games played, minimum 10 replays at least 10 minutes long PM'd either to Nagisama or Sync[gm]. Your TL account must also be older than the start of this thread with minimal exceptions. The decisions by the admins for your entry are final.

Going to also be no on Arb, LiRidain, and Fabiano.
You guys have all hit C-, and if I start allowing in...it's a slippery slope. Like one guy gets there with 300-500 stats, next guy wants in cause he got 250-375 stats, etc. until we have guys with like 40-40 wanting in.
LiR I understand sorta where you are coming from, and part of this is a product of ICCup being a shitty system to use (Birdie's stuff should be much better), but I do disagree with you. Any D+ player cannot hit C- just by laddering. They still need to beat other D+ 34% of the time. Not anyone that hits D+ can do this.

Ok, I understand 
I'm in kind of a limbo now, though: too weak to play on C leagues (since I'm really D level), and with a C record to be able to play on DRIT.
Off-topic: + Show Spoiler + What about future DRTLs? It is currently plagued with C ranked players, and I think Ace is the only team who is really D rank level (with the exception of CityShuffle). The other teams all have like 3 or more C- players actively playing..

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is a strong thought that a bunch will be graduated from the DRTL next season. It might temporarily shrink the number of teams, but in the long term it will be more rewarding for true D to join.
I'm still humming and hawing over whether I will have time to join. It's easy to play one game on the weekend for the DRTL. A whole bunch... still thinking.

If you want to play, go ladder 20-30 games and I'll make decision. Otherwise it stands as you have been a solid DRTL performer, and that is with your tendency to play pretty subpar to what you do in practice. Being a midpack DRTL guy basically means you can hit C- since the league is half C- players anyway.

Yea, that is the problem for me. It probably isn't. But the league is so full of guys that can at least hit, and many stay, C- that being an average league performer means you can almost certainly hit C- with alot of games.
Just look at DRIT6. Every single player in Ro16 was C-, with the exception of Arca and art of turtle. And there were 3 or 4 other C- guys knocked out

Nope. Not you either.
5-2 DRTL, even if some opponents were weaker. Then your current ICCup ladder is a winning record against a litany of players of which the vast majority 80%+ or more have been C-/C/C+ in past seasons.

Regardless of me winning in my best matchup to certain players who were high ranks last season on ladder (the only reason I won against them is they decided to do some terrible strategy like 1hatch lair, etc) I assure you that I've never once in my 3 years of playing competitively have I ever hit C-. Ever. Not even over 2950 as a matter of fact. To be honest, my D+ usually fluctuates at around 2300 - 2500 mostly. I don't think it's fair that I'm excluded from this league as I still lose to people who are D/D+, I am a very inconsistent player. Not to mention that my ladder record last season was something akin to 30-70 before a /clearstats. If it turns out that I do get C- at any point in time feel free to exclude me from this league, but I am a D+ player. Always have been.

If you really had a 100 games in ladder and had never once hit C-, then I will let you play. That's enough games that I wouldn't put you in the category of "good player but never really ladders".

I usually play 200 - 300 games over each season. I clearstats quite often .

Shouldnt we evaluate a set of replays for people who are on the threshold of d+/c-? It seems more fair than relatively arbitrary decisions.

ICCup rank is a shitty system, but it isn't arbitary. If you hit C- you can't play. Period.
If you mean players that don't ladder enough to have a rank, then we are looking at them on a case by case bases looking at ladder results, DRTL results, and replay analysis.

Only two questions, first when's the deadline and secondly, your dates must be wrong here:
Group stages: Saturday, Oct 26 7:00pm BST (GMT+01:00)
Ro16 Seeding: Between October 16th and July 18th
RO16: Saturday, Nov 02 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) RO8: Saturday, Nov 09 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) SEMIFINALS: Saturday, Nov 16 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) FINALS: Saturday, Nov 30 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
How does the RO16 take almost a year to seed and happen before the group stages? haha

When will groups be picked just out of curiosity?

I think Lmaster was originally going to do groups, or maybe go straight into Ro16 depending on the number of signups, this Saturday, but seeing as he's unavailable this weekend, I guess it's pushed back to next weekend.

Honestly should just allow offraces, tourney participation is quite slim tbh.

I'm pretty sure I could beat any legit D with my offrace Protoss, barring any cheese that I don't know how to beat yet. Probably offrace Terran too, except TvZ vs lurkers is so hard

I'm not suprised you could, because you're too strong for a true D-/D/D+ league.
Not a stupid rule either imo. Have to set a cap somewhere, somehow. We saw what happened with a year+ of no hard cap: A mostly C- league broke out.
ICCup rank sucks for this, but until we have Bird server and ELO style bases ranks, its the best way we have. Unless you have a better solution that involves some quantitative way to control league skill.

I've always been a ladder hero, ive been playing DR leagues for a long time and this is the best ive managed to do yet ._.
Barring super time consuming tedious checking of players match histories etc etc i dont think there is a real way.

That second sentence is what I mean. Don't get me wrong, ICC rankings blow for this, but you have to have some sort of cap.
To me that means the rule itself doesn't suck, but the way we have to implement it does. No cap just doesnt work. You either have to be arbitrary, which has its own set of issues, or you get what happened in DRTL: continued skill inflation. Let guy A in, so now guy B should be, and then its to the point where people are so used to players the players we are playing are new top of the league players like RulZ, tonight, Samgohan, knightpraetor, etc.
Hopefully in a few months there will be a much better system though.

As I've never played one of these before and I can't find the answer anywhere, is it Bo1 or Bo3 in the first group, just so I'm sure?

And just to break things down, in case you have more questions, it'll be...
Player A <Game 1> Player B Player C <Game 2> Player D Winner of Game 1 <Game 3> Winner of Game 2 Loser of Game 1 <Game 4> Loser of Game 2 Loser of Game 3 <Game 5> Winner of Game 4
Basically, you win twice, you're in. You lose twice, you're out.

I'm a little confused about maps. Does that mean that the maps talked about at the end of Lmaster's stream are for DRTL and DRIT?
I think the list was (and it kept changing, so I might have this wrong.)
Fighting Spirit Match Point Tau Crossing Circuit Breaker Sniper Ridge Oxide Heart Breaker and Ground Zero?
Which ones are being used for groups next week?

On August 14 2013 01:56 EchOne wrote: Let me describe 815 a bit for people who haven't played it.
You start with a main. 9 mineral patches, 1 5000 gas geyser. Cool. Leaving the main you have a ramp. The ramp allows these units to pass through it:
Drone, Zergling, Hydralisk, SCV, Marine, Medic, Firebat, Ghost Probe, Zealot, High Templar
Every other ground unit in BW is unable to walk through this ramp. This means that all macro buildings other than Barracks or air production need to be built outside of your main unless you want to have an airdrop fleet that costs as much as your army.
Leaving that travesty behind, you have a natural expansion. Natural expansion only has 6 mineral patches, no geyser, and is completely wide open. Alright... what about the other bases? Every other base is an air expansion with 6 minerals and 5000 gas via 1 regular geyser or 2 half-geysers. Wtf is this 2 half-geyser shit? We aren't here to play SC2.
Ahem. So what does this all mean? I'll leave balance aside because people can make their own conclusions via TLPD stats and VODs. My opinion is that all of these features make the map not fun to play, especially for low-level players. You made a Dragoon in your main? Sorry, that guy is gonna be useless until you spend 200 minerals and a lot of APM shuttling his fat ass out. You have a build predicated on a 2nd gas? Have fun spending a few hundred gas to secure an air expo unless you want to sneak a main. You only have 100 apm? Well, half of that is gonna go to transporting units around in dropships.

If you aren't currently in then show up on the day of games. There are generally a few no shows, meaning your probability of getting in to play is pretty high.

No.
His play is absolutely flawed in every single way imaginable, and that's why I made a point to smash him 10-0 on iccup using ridiculous strategies. That's why he's gone into Bin-Laden-Hiding status to dodge playing me in a grudgematch, because I would obliterate every fiber of his being and win 51-0 in a bo99. We played some silly showmatches with offraces and weird maps, and he barely won and decided that to brag about that 24/7, probably because it's the only time he's ever won a game in his time playing BroodWar, and I was happy to give him something to be happy about, but he had to take it too far and insult the true champion and coach of iFU, NinaZerg. This guy couldn't get to D+ if his life depended on it, so there was ever some weird Saw-scenario where he had to get D+ or die, he would definitely die first in the movie.
Why not just rematch? We did. 10-0, whisper for reps. I gave him an opportunity to prove his claim that he is even mildly competent at BroodWar, and he decided to run and hide like a cat from a vacuum cleaner. The offer, of course, is still on the table, but I guess he'd much rather play in DRIT now that the people who can barely hit C- are out, and he said "We can play bo9 on dota2". Dota2? Serious? I would play mobas, but I have a brain, so it would be very difficult for such a game to keep my interest long enough for me to learn all the geekazoid magic wizard spells that they use in LOTR or Star Trek or some shit. So while he was collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards so he could play Magic The Gathering with his wizard-cloak on, I was busy playing a real game: BroodWar.
Seriously, here's what will happen:
He will go double gateways in PvP to win with zealots and not build enough probes. Despite his lack of probes, his money will go up to 800 minerals, and he will make a forge. You could probably win with 1-base carrier in PvP, just be sure to go 2 gate zealots and hold that ramp. If he doesn't go 2 gate, just kill him. He can't micro and stop your zealots. In my estimation, he will probably try to use cannons to break your ramp. Too bad you have dragoons though. He will then "transition" into DTs, and once that fails, he will break out in hives. gg
|
I know he was bad, seeing as how I've beaten him with scouts, but with the massive ego he had, I figured maybe had gotten C- at least once in his life. I guess its a hollow ego, though.

dat elaborate explanation.

nina please cast your 10-0

If he doesn't go 2 gate, just kill him. He can't micro and stop your zealots. In my estimation, he will probably try to use cannons to break your ramp. Too bad you have dragoons though. He will then "transition" into DTs, and once that fails, he will break out in hives. gg

Eywa's bad. Never C-. Nina's astute observation of him coming out of hiding specifically when all the people who he issue with for being "too good" are out is completely correct.

You haven't seen him because 1) he had a lot of hockey cards 2) he sold a lot of hockey cards 3) he became very rich 4) he used his wealth to get training from korean masters 5) he mastered the korean ladder 6) he is the new boxer of the scene

My cat sold more hockey cards than him, and could get a higher rank by simply rolling around on the keyboard. That blind guy who played Boxer took games off of him. He once went to a petting zoo, but his handspeed wasn't fast enough to reach the animals before they ran off, not wanting to get cooties, and the animals at this zoo were sloths. When he recites the English alphabet, he can't even say the letters A, B, or C, but simply starts from D and goes down from there. He once took a typing and got a score of -18 wpm. It has always been "his bad". He is the least skilled man in the world.
"I don't always drink alcohol, but when I do, I prefer to drink apple martinis, which taste simply fabulous, but I black out for like 3 days straight and wake up having shat my pants."
Edit: Also, I will find him, then slap his boyfriend on the ass and tell him to make me a steak, medium rare, just the way I like it.

Damn L-master went nazi on you guys. It was pretty overdue but I still didn't see it coming. Props.

As Eywa has previously reached C- and is banned from iCCup, making it so that he is unable to play on the server against his opponents, Qikz will take back his spot in Group D as Eywa is unable to play.

I disagree with your assessment that Eywa has reached C-. If he can buy Sziky's soul for 400 dollars, getting someone to get an account of his to C- for 20 bucks doesn't seem like that much of a stretch. Realistically, if Eywa had reached C-, it would only be because we've warped spacetime and have teleported to a similar parallel universe where Tupac is dead (he's alive) and Herman Cain is the President of the United States, because in our current universe, C- for Eywa would trigger a chain reaction that would destroy all of the matter in existence, effectively obliterating the universe. Since this has not happened yet, I think we can safely assume that Eywa is still around D-/E level, and we should start an ERIT or ERTL for him to compete in, because I am convinced that he periodically gets up from his computer to smear feces on his walls during games, which is why his macro is non-existent and the Webster Dictionary has defined the antonym to "micro" as "Eywa". Day[9] once burst into laughter in one of his dailies recalling a joke where his friend was explaining to a girlfriend what micro was, and said "In this hand I have eywa" and opened his hand to reveal a Yu-Gi-Oh card with Eywa's zero stats, and then he opened the other hand, and there was nothing in it, and she was like "There's nothing there." and he was like "STILL BETTER MICRO THAN WHAT EYWA HAS."
Edit: Not that I want to see Eywa play. I want Qikz to take the place of Eywa, because I want to see an actual game of StarCraft.

Eywa, to the best of my knowledge, hasn't hit C-. ASL.chocolate was the ladder account used by shotcoder/NoisE for ASL.
As far as the ICCup issue, people will just need to play against Eywa on either fish or gameranger.

As SynC isnt the admin of this league, his decission does not matter. It's LMaster's decission. And while I disagree with letting Eywa play, it is what he decided. I think you are still on the reserve list.

I guess there's no point in helping out then, eh? O.o Again, Eywa shouldn't be playing, regardless of whether he hit C- or not, simply because of his attitude. And again, why should the players be forced into abide by what Eywa put himself in, getting banned from iCCup and Teamliquid, making it hard to contact him. But whatevs.

This is the D ranks tour. You guys have certain standards. He should go down to the E ranks tour.

Well the whole play on another server and contact him through... ??? Is a bit of a nuisance.

Lol guys I feel like if Eywa was banned of ICCUP for his BM or whatever, he shouldn't be able to participate in this tourney. Its more of a hassle for other players who don't know how to set-up wlauncher or whatever just to get a bo3 done. I feel he doesn't qualify and Qikz should take his spot.

Could I get some confirmation on whether or not I'm actually playing in this thing so I know to show up or not? I realise you said yourself LMaster that I'm back onto the waiting list, but then I had sync as well as the wiki page telling me otherwise. I mean it's not a huge deal either way, but I need to work out when I'm going to have to prepare dinner for. ^^
EDIT: I might even have the dates wrong since I guess it's starting with the RO16.

Are we playing NA time (now) or EU time (1 hour)? You're a bit slow over there with the summer time shifts.

So, how many of the players on the waiting have to play today? Do we all need to go to the server and be ready to fill the spot if someone doesnt show up, or we will play another day?

Double post again- Lmaster this tourney is fucked i swear so much confusion

I guess we'll play next week. There's too many players missing to replace, and most likely a few of them were missing because of the confusion.

You might wanna reconsider that rule. Also, I would've appreciated you telling me before I waited ~2 hrs.

I'm hosting a D-/D/D+ tour. I absolutely do not want to allow C- players in, and will not be reconsidering that.
Also, I would've appreciated you telling me before I waited ~2 hrs.
Unfortunately you weren't in the initial group stages, and I wasn't aware you had thrown your name into the hat for being an alternate. Right before I posted that someone brought up that you had hit C-, and after confirming had no option but to remove you from the tour. I wish it could have been resolved earlier so that you didn't have to wait, but I wasn't aware of the issue until about 5 minutes before I posted that.

Sorry, I didn't want to argue about your decision. I just think that the rule (or its implementation without any exceptions) doesn't make much sense, because people don't seem to ladder here. You can probably become C- by beating D- all day. So the rule doesn't serve the only purpose it has: making sure that the difference in skill is not too big. (as for me personally: I'm freaking bad and probably wouldn't stand a chance past the group stage)

Can someone explain what comes next? Group stages: Saturday, Nov 02 9:00pm FET (GMT+03:00)
Ro16 Seeding: Between October 16th and July 18th
RO16: Saturday, Nov 09 9:00pm FET (GMT+03:00)
I guess now the ro16 is coming but on the liquipedia there is no Ro16, but ro8 instead. Since we are 16 players in the group stages 8 of us advance and i dont understand if we go to the ro8 or we will have 8 players from previous tournament to join in?

Yea, initially the OP was written for a 32 man field. Since we started with Ro16 groups, it will be the Ro8 on Nov 9th, and will be Bo3. Pairing will be released tonight or tomorrow morning.

Group C - I need your replays!
If games are not finished, update me on what has yet to be played and send me what has.
Resolved

Brood war awesomeness! I don't play it anymore but I think tourneys such as these are keeping the game alive. Will tune into the stream.
|
Is this live cast DRIT? I don't understand the wikipedia page, i.e those are spoilers or someone is updating as the matches are played?

It's cast off of replays. The games were played last Saturday.

gg Falling, next time we meet I'll hopefully play a bit better :p
Also my game against sh4w,if Fantasy taught me anything it was to never give up and never surrender.
+ Show Spoiler +I really feel I dropped the ball on that game against sh4w though, I should've got turrets quicker and my armory quicker :p
The reason I pulled all my SCVs onto my tanks was because I couldn't build any turrets so I thought I might as well go to where there were some to keep them alive rather than losing them all. ^^
Ah well, more practice and DRTL for me and hopefully if I get to play in one of these again I'll show better games. ^
Oh and I'm not sure if he necessarily got it from Hiya, but Hiya on Stream has been using that 2 fact 2 port wraith play quite a lot on a variety of maps. I wanted to learn it but against tank goliath although it works it's incredibly difficult if the other guy knows what he's doing (unlike me) :p

Good games so far. Where is the other half of the cast?
|
Liquipedia is updated with results that has been currently casted.

Hey Falling! You finally won a game. Gratz.
GGs everyone.

And thus I remain the holder of the worst record in D-ranks. Nice try, Falling.

I know star/minsc is on PP
Sh4w didn't show vs Napoleon....so sh4w get your butt in gear and contact him. If I haven't heard update in 24 hr I'm going to give Naopleon walkover, as he already waited several hours for you.
Need update on Flo v Comsat

I was planning on casting all of these, but I'll actually be pretty busy tonight, tomorrow, and probably Monday so have at it! Do me a favor and check with me first in case I already have casters lined up though.

People always go on and on about TvT requiring patience to watch, but i'd happily remove every other race in the game if it meant I could play TvT all day every day. Could you imagine a Broodwar world where every single game was Flash vs Fantasy or Flash vs Firebathero? My god it'd be the best!

Too bad there is only one Flash, Fantasy, and Firebathero making everything else complete shit to watch.

it'd be better if you just removed terran and made every game zvp/zvz with no possibility of pvp

Or maybe nerf Terran sign ups

So are there any results on this? I'm looking to update Liquipedia all at once but seems like there was never an actual winner for this season...
|
I actually made a post about this in DRIT 8 thread. Basically the day of the finals iccup was down and when I tried to reschedule with Pebble he said "[12/29/2013 1:33:31 AM] Pebble: hi, no i cannot play broodwar anymore sorry" Maybe that changed since I noticed he played in one of Draw's tourneys so if Pebble wants to play I'm open to trying to finish this.

Although I'm not the admin, ideally, at least finishing the finals would be great. I need something to show that there was at least a winner for the entire tourney.
Plus, it'd give me something to update the overall statistics with too.
