I get that this tournament is for fun but I've stated this clearly that it would be following a ProLeague format. This is how I am running it. Now drop it everyone and start practicing. This is my last post regarding the issue. I'm pretty sure almost ALL foreign tournaments in the past allowed race-picking. You seem to be confusing Korean tournaments with foreign tournaments of the past. | ||

Personally, as Dragon knows with CPL, I don't have a problem with race-picking or switching or whatever. I do understand where you're coming from. And so does he I am sure - but you have to respect his decision about his league. Ultimately I think this might be for the best. Blizzard is unlikely to implement race picking into ladder, ladder is likely going to be the measuring stick for the future, so this definitely falls in line with that AND latter-day ProLeague, which Psy said is his intent. Try to see the positives. If not, then to play or not to play is still your choice. | ||

Savior actually picked Terran vs Gorush in an MSL. Julyzerg also went random in proleague a while back. Those are just the ones I know about. | ||

The difference is that in these cases, as briefly mentioned before, is a) they knew their opponent ahead of time and thus he didn't "racepick" in the sense of a blanket "I always TvZ" but he submitted it like "I know I am facing GoRush, so I am submitting T for this match." Both parties got adequate notice of this fact and I don't think it's comparable because Savior submitting ONE race for a pre-determined match doesn't have much bearing on this format. b) there was some weird rule (according to someone else in the thread) that you couldn't send two of the same race back to back, or something. Also not applicable. It should be noted that in latter-day ProLeague, after the matchfixing scandal, there was not a single race-pick in non-event games. This is because line-ups were kept hidden, just as they are in this case. Can we stop talking about this now? T_T I really don't want to see a repeat of what I mentioned earlier... | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/bw-tournaments/526165-patl-season-1 The purpose of THAT thread is to keep discussion THERE focused PURELY on smack talk, matches, finding play times, etc. That is also where I'll post lineups and results. This thread will remain to discuss the league in general and where people can bring their questions for me to answer. You know I also want to take this moment to thank someone that is not part of our community anymore but is the person that taught me HOW to run tournaments, even if it does not make you popular at times. I watched him run many, many tournaments over the years and if I hadn't, I don't think I would have the heart to attempt this. Duran "Xeris" Parsi. Thank you. This guy. This guy has done SO much for the American scene between 2002 and 2014 and it's really sad that there isn't a Liquipedia page on him. He has run SO many tournaments big (NASL) and small (Yankee League). He used to run weekly, monthly, yearly tournaments ALL the time and I have no idea how he did it. He was considered by MANY players the best Admin to run any tournament, he was often consulted by WCG on how to run the USA tournaments. He also took a chance on me to cast Yankee League when it first started, arguably him giving me that opportunity lead me to being noticed more and more around the community as a caster. I worked hard to promote myself but I will admit. If Xeris never took the chance on me, I do not think I would have ever gained the popularity that I did that allowed me to participate in the casting crew for THREE WCGs in a row. Xeris. I deticate this League to you. Wherever you are.  | ||

I will begin seeding teams. Keep an eye on the PATL Season 1 thread for week 1 matches. Edit: week 1 matches are posted. I've also updated the OP and moved/removed unnecessary information. Check the PATL Season 1 thread for more intimate details pertaining to Season 1. That keeps this thread more in line with how PATL should run OVERALL. | ||

BUT I am open to discussion. If people really feel having 1 Random on each team in 2v2 is fine. I'm okay doing that. (I'll only allow 1 random per team in 2v2s) For week 1 and week 2 Random shall be banned. I will make a decision BEFORE Sept 8th about allowing Randon for 2v2s by Week 3. The poll will decide. | ||
