Hello viewers, admins, players of STL. I would like to ask about delay playoffs to next Saturday. It's a little bit unfair that there's no even one week break between regular season and the playoffs. Teams dont have time to organize players, prepare strategies, discuss about the most important part of the league. I believe everyone of us would like to see/present a good quality of show in these matches. Isn't it better to end this league with the best performance of teams?

I really think you should message the organizers directly with this and not post it in public forum.

With that said, I agree, delaying it for one week would allow teams to prepare better and in return provide us all with better games!

I can see why you posted here (now the court of public opinion is in your favor), but this is probably more of a message-the-mods sort of thing.

Anyway, I do have to agree with trutaCz's assessment, a little more time would be more favorable for everyone.

I think it's wonderful how people from the same team can agree with each other so often.

Exams are coming up for me, I can't wait :D sry. On the same note, it would be nice to have the full playoff format updated (finals -> bo1/bo3/ map line up stays same, etc)
Also in terms of trading players, there was never an agreed upon rule. Is it that you can add any player who wasn't on another team or trade among teams remaining?

It's pretty on-topic... I mean, no other team agrees that they need an extra week to "prepare". But why would you post this anyhow? You're not the leader of the LRM.

This is because no team prepares except for lagfree (if they still LAN) and half of iFU :D.

When the playoff starts, each team has played every other week for 14 weeks. Postponing the playoffs because some teams need more training is, in my personal opinion, unnecessary. All teams have the same starting conditions, in terms of time for preparation and so on.

As for the format, it will be as in the group stage, in addition to the updates of the oxide and overwatch and map order: 7 sets of Bo1 (for both semifinals and finals).

New players can be added 72 hours before the start of the matches and the line-up must be submitted to the admins before the matches start (preferably 30 min before the start of the match).

Good luck to you all!
Thank God for cold fusion!

When qualifying for the playoffs for a somewhat meaningful league, announcing the playoff schedule to the teams one and a half days before the playoffs itself is showing, at the very very least, shallow seriousness and a major slack in the organizing process of the league.

Even more so, when one of the teams involved is heavily inactive + having at least one of its major players not show up for most of the cws (sziky) + that has given a w.o already in an important CW (against LF).

I can understand that SBWI wrongfully (but in a rush, which is very understandable) got anxious that LRM with Sziky would eventually turn the league into a stompfest (and thus allowed Scan to play even that the rules written in this manner completely forbid it). Given all that, one can get slightly suspicious that at least somebody wants Sziky to not show up again... even though that, in theory, we are still slight underdogs when he does show up.
Enjoy the game

Who talks about winning and other leagues?

One of the simplest organisational things to do: get information out early enough so no issues arise. One and a half days before the playoff is showing, as I said, the very least shallow seriousness and a major slack in the process of organizing. For a number of reasons, it's the better way to go.
Enjoy the game

wow tech seriously... that conspiracy :D

first of all, nobody gives a shit anymore about sziky being on lrm). also, allowing scan to play was decided before sziky switched teams. sziky is inactive because he doesn't care about your soulless team (yes i think you are all cold automatons^^), and will not be any more active next week than he is now. unless like, TLS is announced to start in 4 days.

i personally expected playoffs to start next week and was quite surprised, so i agree it was short notice. i even expressed this in the correct thread. *wink wink*
making a new thread i can understand since it will probably get you more attention, and you already got your answer from an organizer. it was worth a try, but there's no point pushing it further. it will just make you look cute and silly like ninazerg.
life is balanced, L2P

The entire league can not stop just because some teams need more pratice. We were late with the announcement, that is true, but we never gave any indication that there would be a paus before the start of the playoffs.

It's not the organizers of STL:s responsability to make sure the participating teams/players are active and practicing, especially before the playoffs.

This is SBWI:s first team league, things we learn know will be part in improving the next season/project. We are committed to keep foreign-BW alive and well, our seriousness in this matter is undebatable!
