i agree with jealous on the bo1s, would lead to more interesting games and cut down on the time commitment as well | ||

I voted for bo3 in the poll because I prefer that as a competitor. If you do plan on putting a bunch of effort into streaming all of the games in the league with a solid level of casting, then I think a bo1 is better for the spectators and casters. | ||

I was thinking it gave more options for those that don't feel confident enough in their 1v1 but wanted to still play. 2v2 is the only left option I can think of. Hence why I weighted it more to help those players 1. Show up for their game because it's weighted more and 2. Make them feel important to the team. I also remember in Yankee League some of the Lesser teams only stood a chance against some of the better teams because they would almost always win the 2v2 because the better teams would almost never practice for it. This lead to some great matches going to ace match and allowing the best players from both teams to duke it out and sometimes the lesser team would end up taking the whole series because of it But what does everyone else think? | ||

Points determine who goes on to play in the playoffs and seeding. points do not determine a winner of the clan vs clan matches. Maybe to offset the discrepancy in points Ace matches could also be worth two points that way there is a clear Point winner as well | ||

I don't see the need to overcomplicate things. Just make every game 1 point, including ace match. Giving the winner a swing of 2 points is exactly what would create insurmountable point differences later in the league. It would also then make sense for teams to intentionally drop a set when they are 2-1 or 3-2 or whatever just to get double the points from their ace match if again it's team Sziky vs . Team OurBestPlayerIsConICCup. | ||

2v2s are fine for fluff leagues like this. Dedicated 2s players are very rare, and people won't go out of their way to practice 2s, so the games will always kinda be random. But personally for a league like this I think it could be fun  Good initiative yo! | ||

You can mix the team's however you want you can be purely Canadian versus everyone you can have one Chilean one American one guatemalan as long as you live and reside in the United States at the time of the league starting you can participate so if you're a Korean living in the United States and you want to participate that's fine but if you're an American living outside the United States you cannot participate By the way does anyone know how to reach out to our Spanish-speaking brood War community in Central and South America I don't know any websites off the top of my head that's still cater to brood War Edit for clarification: if there are Korean's that live here on a temp pass like a visitor's visa or something like that then they are not eligible to play. you Need to Be an actual resident of the Americas permanently living here | ||

I've also updated Rule 2 as well about subbing. I want to be clear that I will not be removing 2v2 from the Clan War. I feel it was an integral part of StarCraft for 9 years during the Nation Wars and ProLeague and created a unique viewing experience. I loved casting 2v2 in Yankee League and they were actually some of my more popular videos BECAUSE of the lack of exposure they normally get. BUT If 2v2 is truly hated/disliked by the end of season 1. I will not include it in season 2. Does that sound like a fair compromise? | ||
