I do understand you. It just takes a look at your signature.

But thats okay. Do whatever you like. But don't bring up arguments that don't make any sense if you don't want to be misunderstood. Blizzard introduced a feature that people asked for since ever, in a way that is generally approved of(even though not final). And you came into the thread proclaiming that it's completely bad.

why would you as a gold player want to play vs a professional sc player? You'd just get owned. Why don't you work yourself up to grandmaster and then enter the tournament, that way you actually have a chance.

My signature has nothing to do with automated tournaments, more about general design of sc2 post WoL.

Has it been bugged? It stopped letting me veto maps, it just goes to the match when both players are ready. I can't even really look who's in my tournament, that box stays up where you have to hit "ready" or whatever. I can until the next round, but then the same thing happens, can't veto maps etc...


So has it been bugged?

The first and most important was matchmaking. Warcraft III tournaments use Swiss style matchmaking, in which players with similar records are matched against each other, and only one player can become champion. Ultimately, this style of matchmaking means only the highest skilled players can win, causing an ugly cycle where less skilled players continually lose, and eventually stop participating in tournaments altogether.

which is why all sensible swiss events have sectional prizes. give some in-game award for best non-master, gold or lower, whatever

Well they're doing this, aren't they? You get the Platinum Trophy if you're in Platinum, Gold Trophy in Gold etc.

good lord the quote button is really easy to miss post redesign

re: your comment, not really if i'm reading it right? by the looks of things, all they're doing is having several tournaments for each different tier of play. the point of swiss is that everybody can play together yet still give credit if you're the best performing player in a certain skill category

They really should think about adding a possibility to create custom tournaments.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Would it be all that difficult to introduce a couple of different types of tournament? Keep the current formats we've got, but then also host larger tournaments on the weekends - eg on a Saturday you could hold one tournament for each league (bronze/silver/gold etc) as a much larger tournament. Even go as far as at another time (sunday?) have one giant tournament for everyone.

Custom tournaments would be great too, and would make these sorts of tournaments far easier for the average player to participate in having it all go through battlenet.
