Hey, I have a question. 3x 1x1 works very well but there is a thing about 2v2 and ACE match. When team's captain submits 2v2 and ACE players, they appear in the overall line up IMMIDIATELY, thus giving opponent team an unfair advantage of knowing who they are up against. It doesn't matter for 2v2 that much (and so we had no problem with it in season 1) but regarding ACE match it seems pretty important.

To admins: is it possible to fix it, so it works just as 1v1 table works or we will have to bypass it by some other means, like whispering an admin?

I will ask if its possible to fix, anyway the best player is supposed to play ACE so not sure how important it is.

I don`t understand this "ace" concept in the first place.

Same, i dont undestand ace concept. Now each team has many active players(old, semiold), why 1 guy(like truta) can play 3 games(1x1, ace, 2x2). Each leader put his best player on ace(usually team have 1-2 ace players).

I'm guessing there is an ace match so smaller teams can play too. (As you would only need 3 players.)

Maybe it would be better if the ace is a bo1? Then teams can send snipers, and 1 player will not be able to have as much impact. Right now, like idegelchik mentioned, you can exploit having 1 really good player on your team. In 'theory', if your best player is unbeatable you cannot lose.

There hardly any small sized teams left after merging, so this doesn`t holds true, as far as I see. Be it bo1 on a different map than the other starting map or bo3, it does not matter really, because the sniper has to be really well prepared and skilled to take down a better player on paper, now I don`t say that it wouldn`t work once or twice, just in the current foreign scene I don`t see happening snipers taking down better players on a regular basis.

You made a mistake though, ace players can`t play 2v2.

I think ace match would have some meaning, if it wouldn`t be played anyway, just only if there is a tie (maybe this has technical difficulties on iCCup?). Now I don`t like this either, because the old format (4 x 1v1, 1 x 2v2) used a bigger player pool, but at least it would be more sensible.
In this way there will be probably a player in each team who will consistently have 2 games / nw, so probably less players will play eventually on the nws, which again doesn`t make sense as there are enough players even to fill a larger format.

for example: our alpha team have a lot of active(not top skill) players, but if you have ace match and score like 2-2, always top player play this ace. No ace = new guy play.

You made a mistake though, ace players can`t play 2v2.

thx.
