Background: With the first Crimson Starleague Invitational being a relative success, the second installment of Crimson Starleague will also act as an Invitational, and also partly due to unfortunate event that occurred during the first Starleague.
The league is welcome, but not limited to, mainly max D- to C+ players, and B- players are welcome to play if they signed up with an offrace.
Format: The format will go through a Round-of-32 Group Stage, with 4 players divided among each group, played via MSL format (First two initial games, Winner's and Loser's match, final match). From the 16-players to advance, there will be another Group Stage, but this time, going through a Round Robin format, with two players advancing from each group. Beginning at the Round-of-8, it will become a single-elimination, playoff bracket.

Put in the donation link in the OP.
As stated in the OP, all donations are welcome, from $.01 to $5, and all donations will be going towards the prize pool. I will also be giving shoutouts to everyone who's donated, and I'll try to do something else as a thank you to those who donated.

I'M ASHAMED O.o Are you saying that Longinus should be getting replaced or that it should be an option?
I feel like people are gonna want Triathlon gone more than Longinus, and people seem to want Neo Medusa more than anything.
Judging by the map poll, I guess folks don't want funky maps >.>

Longinus for 3 player, Luna for 4 player .... Cmon .... I donated 10$, fuck the penny / 5$ limit thats some petty shit....BW Foreign scene needs more CASH FLOW, LIVE LAVISH MAN!!!.........Since I donated 10$ i demand we have Longinus or Luna, or both.....please :-p

I agree on longinus. It'd be the most standart map of the three.

The map poll is there so that maps can be replaced, not whether one is more standard than the other.
For 4 player maps, Colosseum is the map up in the air to be replaced, and apparently, Circuit Breaker is the ideal choice. For 3 player maps, Triathlon is the map up in the air to be replaced, and Neo Medusa is the ideal choice. For 2 player maps, Monty Hall SE is the map up in the air to be replaced, and Polaris Rhapsody is the ideal choice.
I might be changing Fighting Spirit out with another map like La Mancha but I haven't decided completely yet, especially since everyone HAS to play on FS and there's probably going to be some angry folks if there isn't FS...
|
I DEMAND THERE BE LUNA IN 4 PLAYER MAP POOL SINCE I DONATED 10 DOLLARS, THATS ALOT THESE DAYS......
|
Why would you want such a shitty map in the map pool?
|
Luna is a classic map that shows much skill you truley have
|
yes, Luna is good , micro-based map!
|
|
Well, I voted for Icarus to replace Colloseum. You probably don't want to redo the poll at this point, but since you're considering getting rid FS I think Luna + Toadstone + Icarus would be a pretty nice variety for 4 player map pool.
I think the main concern with maps like Monty Hall and Triathalon is that it's next to impossible to get a meaningful practice game on these maps that don't/rarely see any map of the week action. So people vote for a map that they already know/know they can get practice games on. On the other hand "funky" maps can be a great excuse for a loss so players may want to factor that into their voting as well. Like, "hey i didn't know this map at all hope you lose next round" or "wtf Astral Balance is a better map than this piece of shi.t"
Speaking of funky maps have you considered using the classic blizzard 2 player map "Crystallis." I think it would be a fine addition to this league. + Show Spoiler +

Nostalgia has similar win rates and July vs Iloveoov was SUPER EXCITING!!!!!!!!
We should add that to the map pool.
|
I detect sarcasm.
Also luna is an extremely bland map compared to wide selection of much better designed maps AND more exciting maps made after it. You can always do better than luna.
|
When the choice is FS vs Luna I would much rather have Luna in, because Toadstone is similar enough to FS we don't need 2 very similar maps in the map pool. Not to mention Luna has seen about zero action in foreign leagues. Also, quoting map stats from pro games is not relevant here, this is a C+ max league remember.

We should add that to the map pool. While this was in jest I would rather see Nostalgia in place of FS too. Isn't the point of a map pool to have a variety of maps that require a variety of strategies? FS AND Toadstone is redundant.

I'm totally serious.
I want Nostalgia in.
|
Allright it's settled then
Toadstone Luna Nostalgia

I can't believe people want to play on Luna...
It's one of the most bland maps in the history of BW and is extremely dated
Maybe it's because most people didn't have to deal with playing it non-stop when it was released.
|
dude, u gotta think about the very nice interesting games
|
Luna's positional imbalance is fucking ridiculous. Defending vs. Mutalisks as P at the 1 o'clock base + nat is way harder than any other base. 5 o'clock has an almost decent nat while others are retarded. Luna is a stupid map compared to modern ones.

If people want to play a fucked-up oldschool 4-player map, they should go with Gaia or Python. Or Neo Legacy of Char. The naturals on the left side of Luna are closer than the ones on the right side. DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THIS OR ARE WE ALL TAKING CRAZY PILLS!?
What about Sword In The Moon?

Elaborate on why it shouldn't be in the pool instead of saying something so simple. Balance isnt fixed. This isnt 2005, luna should be ignored. Most people arent familiar with it, wont get games on it, and wont understand the map, which is radically different than any other map in the pool. Yes, in a simplistic way its just a boring macro map, but no boring macro map plays at all the same way; fs/andromeda/luna for ex are all way different.

I agree with flyingjelly in that what we're aiming for in the map pool is a variety of maps, not maps that are rather similar to each other. Therefore, either Fighting Spirit goes or Toad Stone goes. However, with that, there's a conflict in that I want to try and implement at least one BWMN map but people don't want Fighting Spirit to be removed...
As for Luna, although I wouldn't mind an old school map being part of the map pool, save for Longinus (which is an exception since 3-player maps are rarely appreciated and/or balanced), I don't think Monty Hall would be part of the map pool, and if the players had a choice, I don't think they would want Blue Storm either. For TelecoM wanting it, although your donation is greatly appreciated, I expected it out to be the goodness of your heart, not expecting something in return. Maybe next season I can use Luna along with one or two other old school map.
I think the reasoning for players nowadays not wanting maps like Nostalgia and Luna is because the builds nowadays don't match with those maps at all. Nostalgia's natural doesn't even have a gas, which would force Zerg players to either get an expansion far away, or go 9pool speedling. It's not an ideal map for Terran mech play. The giant chokes aren't ideal for Forge fast expand. I'm not saying these are the reasoning for not using these maps, I'm saying these are the reasoning for players not wanting them. I, personally, could play on any map and have a fun time... Except Heartbreak Ridge. Fuck Heartbreak Ridge.

There's nothing wrong with that.
What's wrong with Circuit Breaker, Ground Zero, Icarus or even something like Empire of the Sun?
There are a ton of decent four player maps that aren't played very often. They're all pretty different from Fighting Spirit. You can have variety without having to put silly maps in. Arkanoid would give variety.

Arkanoid would give variety. I wanna avoid using the same maps from last season, save for Fighting Spirit, because of course, it's a staple in every league. So with that, I want to avoid using Empire of the Sun and Ground Zero. And according to the poll, we have to assume that Circuit Breaker will be replacing Colosseum. If someone can find a BWMN map that's 4-player that would appreciate an exposure in a league, hit me up. (I'm not going to use just the maps that SWBI uses, because that would just make it a reject SWBI league).
With that, I want 8 maps in the pool, 3 4-player maps, 2 3-player maps, and 3 2-player maps, so that I can get a fair amount of rotation among the maps and so that finalists can get map vetoes in.

In replacing Toad Stone, because of it's likeness and similarity to Fighting Spirit, I've been thinking about removing it with one of either Freakling's maps or CrystalDrag's maps, unless the players really don't mind Toad Stone.

Rush Hour III is imho one of the best maps, which do not provide a big fighting field and generally tight maps.
It plays out really different than normal maps, but it does not get too freaky (like Outsider sometimes), so this might also be a nice 3 player map to think about.

And also, the 32 players have been finalized, I will be posting their username, TL ID's, and races in the OP and group selection will go down on Saturday, Jan 04 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00).

If you guys don't mind, when you donate, PM me saying that you donated and your name. Hard to distinguish a username by someone's real name.

I think that is just common sense at this point, the ledges in middle of longinus make terran so strong and nearly impossible to break, if the T is good.

Keep in mind that the Group Selections will be casted on Saturday, Jan 04 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) and the map pool will be finalized then too.
If you accepted an invite but figured out you can't play for any reason, please let me know right away. If you can play, but know that you have to forfeit your spot later on in the tournament, please let me know. Again, I want minimal amount of walkovers and we have subs waiting in line.

This is great, so MVP isn't allowed to play in this Crimson 2 because of his cheating in 1? Will he be allowed to play in 3?
EDIT : Sorry, I just couldn't resist....
EDIT 2 : Not a threat....just it's to preserve the integrity of the tournament, and scene, to not allow cheaters, i'm surprised hes not permabanned from TL yet.

As a viewer I think it's fun to include at least - and not more than - one non-standard map. Think of some funky strategies we might see that aren't competitively viable on standard maps like FS.
If you limit it to just one non-standard map it shouldn't be too hard on the players. You'll never be able to satisfy each and everyone equally anyway. Not the participants, nor the viewers. + Show Spoiler [I'd vote for one of these] +Triathlon Monty Hall SE Neo Chain Reaction Tears Of The Moon Pathfinder
Has Toadstone been finalized yet? The last time I played on it, the left bottom base had buggy mineral mining.

Has Toadstone been finalized yet? The last time I played on it, the left bottom base had buggy mineral mining. Good point, but with your list, and judging by the polls, we'll have one of your determined non-standard map in Neo Chain Reaction. I sort of want to avoid incredibly imbalanced maps such as Tears of the Moon, which I believe was incredibly Zerg favored and Central Plains. Maps like Katrina or Rush Hour 3, where it's favoring one race, but not 100% entirely, are okay.
As for Toad Stone, I'm somewhat torn between whether to keep it or just replacing it with Roadkill/ChemLab. As others have said, Toad Stone is very similar to FS with just a few other differences, whereas Roadkill and ChemLab are completely different and offer a new taste.

Based on the poll being 10-1-1 in favor of Toadstone it looks like players/viewers would much rather see Toadstone and FS than no Toadstone. After all we had Match Point and Benzene both in the map pool last time and those two are incredibly similar. You can compensate for map similarity with your map rotation, using only one of them each week in the early rounds of the tournament when you only need 3 or 5 maps.

In 90 minutes, the group selection kicks off! Gimme some chobos~
|
Unfortunately, due to personal events that's happened, I'm gonna have to delay the group selections. Might be later today, might be on another day, can't say for sure.
Sorry to everyone that's been waiting, it's just a matter that I have to attend to.
|
|
One more try, I'll be casting the group selections at Saturday, Jan 05 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00).
Sorry about the postponement, I was in a car accident on Friday and although I wasn't hurt, the other party had severe injuries and had to go through the process of insurance and police reports, and today I had to go through estimates and what have you.
Again, sorry about the delay, personal events that shouldn't have happened occurred, and I will try to cast again on Sunday morning (for me).

Ah that sucks! Glad to know you're at least ok though.

Ugh, sucks man. Hope everything works out. Don't stress yourself over this of all things.

i might have to bow out of the competition due to me getting a football scholarship t.t

Im just happy i get a Rematch against RulzBOOOM!
|
Group A: flyingjelly / RulzBoooM + Show Spoiler + I'd say flyingjelly is easily favored against every toss (other than Talent) and probably every Terran (other than Radley?), but ZvZ might be the reason for one of the favorites to drop out in the group stages. AoT is also perfectly capable of taking games off of any toss in the tournament, so the group is rather hard to predict...
Group B: sas.LuMiX / Trozz + Show Spoiler +I really have no idea about the zergs in this group. But I guess they are good if RedAxis thinks that he can't win against them. Group C: dazed / Bad]Seed + Show Spoiler +Anyone can make it out of this group.
Group D: Artanis[xp] / LTY + Show Spoiler +LTY was very impressive last Crimson against Ninazerg, so he might actually take first place. There is also the unlikely possibility that Artanis drops the ball against Gohan. Finally, if lannister really gets a bit of coaching from Technics this group can become really unpredictable.
Group E: Fear_Chaos sas.zimp + Show Spoiler +Fear_Chaos will easily take first place in this group. Not sure how good Arcania's T is, so maybe he will take out zimp.
Group F: Ever)P(TelecoM / Mewka[AoV] + Show Spoiler +I don't think that Lmaster has any chance in this group. Arb might beat any of the other two protosses.
Group G: Plus / Sero + Show Spoiler +RedAxis claims that Plus is the best zerg in the tournament, so I'll trust him. Also, never bet against Sero...
Group H: Talent / Radley + Show Spoiler +Easily the group of death. If Radley play up to his potential and full capabilities, he should take the tournament. If he plays like he did for the majority of CRTL, he might drop out in the group stages. It's Talent's tournament to lose. However, if he really cuts down significantly on his bw time (as he mentioned in this thread), he might not make it to the ro16. Stardom has no chance whatsoever. Castle on the other hand might make an upset and kick one of the favorites out, especially since he gets two chances to do so.

I count 5 trolls that didn't vote for group H. Also who's got some insider info on iway? Perhaps his main iccup ladder ID

I don't know why group H is considered as group of death. They are two protosses and two terrans - final score is simple to predict :D Most exciting is group G !
|
I like how ever group has been voted at least once except C, when C is probably the hardest to predict who's coming out of the group... Jemah and dazed are C level, but Gorg and BaD]SeeD are C-/C and probably can hang with both Zergs pretty well.
Oh well, excited to see what happens.

I'd take a wild guess and say it's because the best terran, the best protoss and a Crimson semi-finalist are pitted against each other :p

A's are the ones that went 2-0 in the group, and B's are the one's that went 2-1. There's going to be 2 A's and 2 B's per group, and I'll just be distributing the names across 4 groups. If there's a case of an A and B from the same Ro32 group in the Ro16, I'll try and switch up the names, unless players don't mind that situation.
From then on, the Ro16 groups will be played Round Robin format, where every game will be played on Circuit Breaker.

Groups are set up so that whoever's name you're adjacent to (left/right), that's your first set. Then if you win/lose, you'll play the winner/loser of the other set of groupmates, respectively. Winner of the winner's match moves onto the Round-of-16, loser of the winner's match goes onto final match. Winner of the loser's match goes onto the final match, loser of the loser's match is eliminated. Winner of the final match moves onto the Round-of-16.

btw predictions:
Group A 1. flyingjelly 2. RulzBoooM + Show Spoiler +flyingjelly definitly taking the first spot. No contention in this prediction imho. I played Iway once months ago and he did not seem to be C level, so even if he is the unknown component, I do not think he will make it past RulzBoooM. AoT is really solid and it is ZvZ, but flying definitly taking this. flying vs RulZ, will be as also pretty onesided I think. AoT vs Iway is a coinflip, but since I know AoT "better" I think he will take it. In the decider we will see an epic match between AoT and RulZBoooM, which imho can go either way, but I have to root for RulZ here, since we live in the same city^^
Group B: 1. Lumix 2. Trozz + Show Spoiler +Zerg OP. nah not really, but I do not think MinscandBoo stands a chance against any of the other three players and RedAxis TvZ was solid, but not spectacular last time I saw it. I do not know if RedAxis can beat any of the zergs, but he has to at least win once against either of them and I'd give the zerg players an edge. Position-wise I just took a wild guess, since I think position 1 and 2 is up to the randomness of the ZvZ in the winners match.
Group C: wont predict my own group
Group D: 1. Artanis[xp] 2. [SAM]Gohan + Show Spoiler +t0ssboy would probably take spot 2, if he'd be playin protoss, but since he just started playing zerg, I have to go with Gohan, which showed one of the highest skills this DRTL season. Artanis definitly powering through this group though. I do not know anything about LTY, so I just put him on 4. Still he can upset if train PvT, since I guess that the final match will be LTY vs Gohan. But if it was about betting money, my money would be on Gohan.
Group E: 1. zimp 2. Arcania + Show Spoiler +Can't see zimp losing to anyone in this group, so he is a solid first place. Second place has to go to Arcania, even if I teased Arcania in the Jesus Clan chat, about him dropping out to Fear_Chaos. Arcania has to practice TvP a lot tho imho, since the final match will be Arcania vs Fear_Chaos. + Show Spoiler +Nahhhh jk greenelve takes place 1 and greenelve2 takes place 2 kekekek^^
Group F: 1. Ever)P(TelecoM 2. L_Master + Show Spoiler +I think this group is the hardest to predict tbh. TelecoM is the clear favorite for the first spot, but I would not be too surprised if he dropped out in this group. PvP can be a bitch sometimes and I think TelecoM's PvP is not his best matchup. Neither is this the best matchup of L_Master (I'd even say it is his worst), but L_Master has definitly the mechanics and BO knowledge to surprise both TelecoM and Mewka. Even if I'd say Mewka is the favorite against L_Master in any BoX (with X > 1), I'd say L_Master can take him out. Still my guess would be that TelecoM first takes out L_Master and Mewka takes out arb. I do not know who will win in Mewka vs TelecoM at all, but I "flipped a coin" and decided it will be TelecoM. arb is definitly capable of taking out L_Master, but I think L_Master is the clear favorite and will eliminate arb from the tournament. In the end I come back to my conclussion that L_Master will have a small edge in a Bo1 against Mewka and will take him out surprisingly. Still anyone can make it out of this group. I believe that even arb can go 2-0, but it is really unlikely.
Group G: 1. plus 2. Sero + Show Spoiler +plus gonna win this tournament, if he avoids a strong Ro16 group with f.e. Talent, Trozz and RulzBooM, where he gets knocked out in a Bo1, so no question about his first place in this group stage. DNH and smokeybear are both really really strong terrans for the D+/C- segment of players, but since Sero's main race is Terran, he knows Terrans weaknesses the best. His PvZ might be bad and he will definitly get crushed hard by plus, but I think his PvT will carry him through this groupstage. DNH will win against smokey and then fail in the winners match against plus. Sero will roll over smokebear and have a decider against DNH, which will come down to the question how much DNH trained for this. If he is in top condition, I think DNH will win pretty easily against Sero's Protoss, but since I actually didnt see DNH in Skype online for the last few decades, he will go down.
Group H: 1: Radley 2. Talent + Show Spoiler +castle destroys Stardom easily, while the other opening match is really hard to predict. Radley vs Talent will dedice the winner of this groupstage imho. Since New Bloody Ridge is the starting map, I think Terran has a small advantage and thus having Radley advance. Radley vs castle will be closer than you might expect, but I still do not see Radley losing this. Talent rolling over Stardom in convincing fashion will be the opener to the real nail-biter. Talent vs castle will be probably one of the best PvP matchups in this season, as Talent is one of the overall favorites of the tournament and castle being known for his PvP. I hope we will see a 30 minutes epic clash on Longinus, where both players are on the edge of winning, but finally Talent pulling through with his overall higher skill-level.

Players will be allowed to change their race, if they haven't played their first set yet, until Sunday, Jan 12 5:59am GMT (GMT+00:00). If anyone DOES change races, I will be listing the changes right away, so as to avoid possible confusion among players and group-mates.
Also, if you do not think you'll be able to play past the group stages, please let me know immediately. Unfortunately, if you can't play past the group stages, I'm going to need to replace you, since I want the least amount of walkovers in this league as possible.
The Ro32 group games can be played at anytime until Saturday, Jan 25 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). Getting in contact is the players' responsibility, but I have listed the usual ID and Teamliquid ID in the OP for reference. No postponements past the designated date is allowed, unless you PM me and I agree to the possible PP.

For the sake of quick replacements, is there anyone that hasn't been able to be contacted for games and are MIA? I've been seeing most players on iCCup or in the forums, but be sure to take note of who hasn't been on or played any games yet.

Hey man, I didnt bullshit, I havent been able to contact you and you didnt respond to my PM, lol. I was just giving redaxis a heads up that you might be disappeared. I didnt think he'd insta switch players or anything O.O
edit: to be clear I figured redaxis wanted an idea of who *might* be missing so he could schedule a replacement in the event you didnt show up on game day...

Yo Gorg do you wanna play? Leaving it up to you I don't want to be stealing someones spot
|
Of course, in the end, this is definitely my fault. Not only should I have seen if Gorg was actually on or not, but I should've taken the time before replacing players.
I don't want to be rude and take back the words to traceurling, but Gorg, if you can/want to still play, I'd be appreciative if you did. If not, then traceurling will be taking your spot. As for traceurling, you can always reschedule your games before the date in case the designated date doesn't work out for you.
Again, this is my fault, and I take full responsibility.

Thanks, that is very nice of you. If i had time to prepare solidly for this league i would definietely accept this .
But again this replacement is ok with me , cause i have tons of work to do and i think you will make better use of this spot 
Just get me spot in Crimson's 3

Just a heads up for Sync and those in my group: I just realized I'm going to be out of town this Saturday. I already PM'd SnowFantasy about trying to play my match early, but if things don't work out I might wind up having to ask for a PP. Hopefully not though.

Alright, if you can play your initial game with SnowFantasy BEFORE Saturday, you can PP until the following Monday. However, if group-mates can't play on the following Sunday/Monday and/or you can't play your first game with SnowFantasy, for the sake of getting in results quickly and Ro16 group selections, I'll be bringing in a replacement.
So all up to zimp, greenelve, and SnowFantasy.

For players that don't think they'll be able to make the date on Saturday, if you CAN play your first game before Saturday, and schedule the Winner's/Loser's match and final match by Sunday or Monday, that's okay too.
Also, somewhat last minute, but due to last minute concerns, I won't be able available on Saturday on the designated time but I WILL try and check any PMs that come in before, during, or after the date, so please try and be orderly ;D

A new person would be really meh..
please get Gorg back or something.

Hey if you can't find a replacement ill play in 2 groups, no problem. If you disagree just think, in the future rounds I could end up playing myself.

As for a possible replacement with traceurling, I decided that at this point, it is WAY too late to bring in a replacement and expect the rest of the Group C players to have somewhat of a fair situation, so the slot that sGs.Gorg or traceurling left behind will just be Walkovers.
So of course, now, dazed will be moving onto the winner's match automatically to face the winner of chrisolo/ninazerg.
Edit: For clarification, I mean, it'd be unfair to bring in a 2nd replacement, not just a replacement in general. If someone shows up on the designated date to substitute for someone else in another group, that'd be fine.
Edit 2: sGs.Gorg will be re-taking his spot, meaning he will be playing dazed. Sorry for the constant confusion and replacements.

greenelve vs sas.zimp + Show Spoiler +well...boy, that wasnt the game i was looking for. doing silly mistakes here and there, ok. check. but holding first attack, doing some harass with mutas and further, keep holding my base while having a third. and then killing zimps natural - didnt get the cc though. even reaching defiler and ultras in a long 17minutes games. now thats lost which feels like a win. remembering the skill and names of involved players. >.>

i have to leave at 12:30, tommorrow, might not be online again till sunday night. ive arranged to play stardom friday night. i may have to reschedule vs radley/talent
|
I was able to play Arcania before the match time but nobody else, so I guess it's up to the rest of my group if they'll be able to play a postponed match versus me. I'd be available from about 1 - 2:30 PM Sunday and 6 - 10 PM Monday.
I already contacted my next opponent to try and schedule my game.

My next opponent just contacted me saying that he can't play at the times I'm available. Unfortunately my schedule is fairly fixed due to work and other obligations, so I suppose I'll have to be replaced / offer a W.O.
Sorry about the trouble, but this is something that came up fairly last minute.

i cant believe how people are irresponsible where they say they cant play at the last. Literally you had a month to schedule this and they say they couldnt play due to their schedule, what is this?
|
I was too busy to play much earlier this month, and, like I said, not being able to play on Saturday was something that popped up this week, which is when I had planned to have more time to play.
Basically, people have other obligations than BW, and it can be difficult to coordinate times between multiple people with fixed schedules, especially if they are in different time zones.
I don't like having to withdraw either, but it's important to have some perspective.
In short, shit happens.

I dont know whats going on here.  Fear_Chaos, arent you Fear_Chaos from group E?
|
Don't see TheMarine/Lannister in the channel and didn't get a PM from him that he couldn't make it.

Unless previously notified before today, these are the players in danger of being walked over..
Group C: ninazerg
Group D: Lannister[BG]
Group E: sas.zimp
Group F: Everybody...
|
heh Group F man, why
|
WO starleague :willsmith:
|
For the situation with Group F, depending on the responses I get from TelecoM, Lmaster ,arb, and Mewka, I might just be replacing the 4 with players that lost in the group stages for a 2nd chance. Of course, it's somewhat weird to have losers get a second chance, but it's also unfair that players didn't show up, regardless of the reason.
Anyways, winners, don't forget to either PM or submit the replay into crimsonstarleague@live.com
Failure to submit replays will result in a disqualification
Please get replays submitted so groups can be casted and so we can move straight into the Ro16.

I think it's funny that Chrisolo and I played our match weeks in advance, but the other half of the group had to wait until the last second and I happened to be out longer than I had originally planned. I honestly don't know who I'm supposed to be mad at here, so I guess...
I can only blame myself. Fuck you, me.
I suspect Garena had a hand in this, though.

I suspect Garena had a hand in this, though. If BOTH parties agree, which in this case, would be Gorg and dazed., then you guys can keep playing. If not, then for the sake of keeping things fair, it's gonna have to be a walkover.
But again, BOTH Gorg and dazed has to agree to play.

If you are talking about getting through a group where things have to get played in a certain order then yea it can take a significant amount of time, but I'm not sure how players thinking w/o will not be enforced affects anything.

You are missing the point that this league is intended to not have any games played AFTER the scheduled date. You are supposed to pre-play the games if you can't play at the scheduled date.

Ah ok, I understand what you are saying now; though at the same time I'm not really sure why a player would do that...unless they just wanted to buy more time to prepare.

So unfortunately, as NinaZerg has forfeited her spot, greenelve will be replacing her in Group F, so the current matchups for Group F are...
castle[eMg] <New Bloody Ridge> mG.arb
greenelve <New Bloody Ridge> art_of_turtle Winner's Match <Fighting Spirit> Loser's Match <Fighting Spirit> Final Match <Longinus>
Group F, please try and get your games played BY Friday, if not earlier, so Ro16 can occur ASAP.

Great. Now i hope this meets my requirements and expectations of playing bw and kick asses. In the other group i almost played all the games and i almost kicked (zimps) ass (in the first game). 
Also, pm to art of turtle is send.

Why does green get in? He was already eliminated.

With the Ro16 approaching and a lack of results, at this point, I'm having players that I know are capable of getting their games played quickly, so that's my reasoning is putting greenelve in rather than another new player.
Sorry, but I'm a bit skeptical to new folks now because of the unreliability with the no-shows, no-notice and I'd rather get things played ASAP.

I'd prefer knowing the groups as soon as possible. However, you should consider scheduling 2 weeks for the next round. Since all games will be bo1 there is a decent chance that people will need to play tiebreakers...

Good point, RulzBoooM. I'll probably look to cast the group selections and extend the due date.
Don't forget, the Ro16 is round robin, so every player will be playing all of their group-mates at least once.

no one care to watch that group anyways

On January 29 2014 07:57 i am plus wrote: no one care to watch that group anyways Well, it's not a matter of watching or casting the group, but it's just a matter of knowing the results of the group.
I just think it's a bit unfair to the players that's already moved onto the Ro16 that if they get paired of with someone that's supposed to be from Group F, they won't know who it'll be until Group F is finished, and it'll be a disadvantage for the player that's already in the Ro16 and a slight advantage for the players from Group F. But if people are okay with me extending the date and casting Ro16 groups anyways, that's fine with me.

Group F has yet to be finished because the initial members didn't show up so I replaced almost everybody and we're waiting on Group F results soon.
In terms of skill quality, Group B is group of death, by far. O.o
Yes, LuMiX has been in the tourney since the beginning, he was just off-racing. I dunno what's so "crazy"... I tried to make do with what I got and what the players wanted :o
|
What I mean is that Rulzboom is like d+/c- and Plus is playing offrace, so I assume that flyingjelly will win 2-1 and Talent 2-0. Doesn't seem like a group of death because it's obvious who will advance, the group of death is normally when anyone can get out of the group.

accually i beat flyingjelly other day pvz xd and talent told me he to busy playing world of warcraft to practice

Winners of each game, send replays to crimsonstarleague@live.com or PM me the replay either through Teamliquid or Skype, if you have me added.
Every game will be played on Circuit Breaker.
There's no specific order that you need to play your games, as it's round-robin, meaning everybody plays each other once.

I believe playing early is desirable but only optional for your group. Can't you play at the default time on Saturday? Although, I guess that working 7 days a week makes this impossible...

Hey group B, should we try to play this Saturday at the scheduled time or does anyone prefer next week? If we play this Saturday, I will be able to be come. However, if you choose next week, I probably won't be available, so I'd need to play my matches earlier. You can post here or pm me with time suggestions. I'm generally fairly flexible with times, however, keep in mind that I'm in the CET timezone and would rather not play 5 am in the morning

RB: I'm fine with playing tomorrow at scheduled time. Would be nice if plus and talent show up as well so we can play all the games at once.

Although I don't want to necessarily force you to play or not play, but regardless of the results, I think it's easier to learn and improve more from a loss than a win, and continuing to play and wanting to improve after consecutive losses makes you a stronger player in itself.

So I asked a couple of participating players about what I could do to make the league better in any way, shape, or form. Some of the responses were being slightly more lenient on walkovers, due dates, and allowing postponements when last-minute cases occur, distributing games to other casters and not keeping them all for myself, and later designated game times for the American players.
Of course, I would like everyone's opinion on the matter, so if anyone has the time, feel free to comment on anything from something you like about the league, something new you would want to see next season, or something you wouldn't want to see in later seasons. Feedback is always good, and I'm open to ideas as always.

Is smokey playing zvt or tvt?
|
I like this league because although there are some level differences, the league has still remained competitive and not lopsided, basic skill vs preparation can make a big difference in our scene and it often shows in this kind of setting.
As for improvements, nothing concrete although making the play time an hour or two later would probably be quite fair in terms of letting the U.S. players sleep more but not conflicting with EU players saturday evenings too much. In general though I think players should work harder to play before designated time, but this is not really up to your organisation.
As for casting, I think if others want to cast they should just shout in thread and you can PM them a dl link for reps or whatever.

Should follow same format as last crimson starleague, where Ro16 would be in Bo 3 format, instead of Bo 1. I hate to schedule games with others just to play 'a single match', where Bo3 allows you to just finish game, as well as show some skill-based games. Literally I would rather finish all of my matches in one day, by finishing games within 2 hours, instead of play for 15 minute game, then wait for few days, play another game, and if you are expected to drop from your group, then you don't really want to play anymore. And everyone has stuff to do, which Bo1 in my opinion is pretty much waste of time where it doesn't allow players to show their skills.

Ah, in terms of changing up the Ro16 into another group stage, I will admit that I figured it wouldn't have a great reception because like you said,scheduling and what have you becomes a problem. My reasoning for trying this out was to incorporate for MSL and OSL format group stages, but I'll be sure to take your notice into consideration.

Without having knowledge to this case nor studying iccup ladder system nor being an professional football player, i would say: Because he reached B rank.

If you need casters I will cast a groupr two but I don't want to cast any groups that I play in.

And everyone has stuff to do, which Bo1 in my opinion is pretty much waste of time where it doesn't allow players to show their skills. I think the real issue here is the fact that the group games are allowed to not be played all at once, rather than the format itself. Ro32 games are bo1 as well, so those are a waste of time too? Personally I think this Ro16 format is interesting and good because careful preparation is quite important when you're playing 3 bo1 against 3 different players.
I completely agree that the group stages can be rather disjointed and inconvenient when most of the time someone from the group can't play at the designated time. I'm not sure if there's a realistic solution though when it's quite difficult to get 4 players to play their games all at one time when someone needs to play early.

I will cast your group and you will cast mine

Alright, so I'll be distributing Group A and D replays to puppykiller and Group B and C to Nina to cast ASAP... I'm still somewhat busy with school and the only reason I'm still on is because I'm not listening during Chemistry. Anyways, I'll try and cast Group F of the Ro32 ASAP.

Hey, group B, do you mind if we play a few hours later than the default time? Say 4 hours later?

Redaxis, if you want a co-caster/somebody to talk to while casting then msg me on skype.

I am going to cast groups A and D tomorrow starting at 5:00 PM Central Time (USA Midwest) or that would be a little less than 18 hours from this post.

I can play almost anytime friday, i have exams this week.

I will continue to support my countrymen.

Updated Liquipedia, and as I stated during my cast, unfortunately, the series between me and castle[eMg] will be going uncasted since the 2nd game ended up becoming corrupted so I don't want to just show the first game and nothing else. Maybe I'll cast the first game whenever I cast Radley vs LuMiX, but I don't see a reason to cast just that one game and end the series from there.
Anyways, for those that know who their Semi-Finals opponents are, don't forget that it is a best-of-5, with the maps Neo Chain Reaction, Longinus, Fighting Spirit, Neo Medusa, and New Bloody Ridge!

I can help anyone practice for ro4 if they need to prepare vs T.

Don't worry plus, none of me and Lumix had time to prepare special tactics against you, he had exams and I'm working on my final project. + you play protoss, so easy-peasy, right?

I can't have a series go a week postponed, and there's also the matter of Plus having to prepare for a matchup that he still doesn't know yet for the next round.

Semi-Finalists, don't forget that winners need to submit replays to crimsonstarleague@live.com

flyingjelly is C/C+ level Zerg player, solid ZvP, had some creative builds for his games against puppykiller, and somewhat erratic in ZvZ. Made it to the Ro8 last season, defeated every Protoss along the way, but lost to eventual champion jacklinks.
castle[eMg] is C/C+ level Protoss player, good PvT, his best matchup is PvP, but his PvZ definitely lacks something although it's not bad. Lost to Artanis[xp] in the Ro16 but that was from a 3hatch hydra bust. Made it to the Ro4 last season and also lost to eventual champion jacklinks, although he was the first player to take a game off of him, and considering it was a macro game, that's gotta mean something. Placed 3rd last season after beating EleGant[AoV] via walkover.
Apparently, these two guys are friends, since they're both from the USEast server, and they were on the same team during CRTL so they probably know their play style really well and expecting some entertaining and solid play from both of them.

Finals should be starting

Again, as I stated during the Finals cast, and the Finals LR thread, thank you to all of the players for playing actively and thank you to all the viewers for supporting us. Congratulations to the champion of this season, Radley, and congratulations to flyingjelly for making it far into the tournament! Hope to see you all soon when Season 3 begins in mid to late May!
For the Crimson Starleague Invitational Season 3, it will be another invite-only league, but if you feel like your skill level is eligible for the league, and want an invite, feel free to PM me, and I will take it into consideration. If the semi-finalist of this season all decide to return for the upcoming season, I will try and implement a seeding system. As for now, I'm gonna take a break for a bit, start focusing on Maroon Starleague, and get my attention back onto primarily studying for school.
Thank you to everyone!

Congrats Radley!
Great tournament RedAxis, thanks for hosting it. Hopefully I'll be able to redeem myself in season three.

Congrats Radley and Terran for winning
