i'm out - desert oasis this late in the tournament (top 16) and being a bo1 is simply ridiculous - bad choice to have a map like this so late, and yet so pivotal.

Plus - probaly the main reason i hate having obs, just 1 guy lagging makes the game go like shit - despite losing the game already, doesn't help when i can't even move.

They shouldn't allow so many observers in high-level games, someone always lags. Just the gamers, streamers and maybe a ref.

agree, what a crappy map, but gotta admit you won't get bo3 in such a huge tournament
also thousands of streamers, it's bound to lag
oh well next time

and thats why i love demuslim, if the man says something about he perceives as imba he always does it in a toned down way that promotes an actual discussion instead of a stream of senseless tears down the cheeks.

I dont think the streams are the problem, it's some observers with crappy computers.

its the novice ADHD observers that feel the constant need to alt tab imo.

no, i don't suggest the whole tournament being bo3, what i mean is you should have the more imbalanced maps earlier on in the tournament (this means seeded players usually won't play vs other seeded players in the earlier rounds if seeding is done correctly) thus meaning when the seeded players do meet, and you want a good, fair game.
This would be better all round - it means the seeded players if they do go on a bad map - i'll use desert oasis as an example, even if it's not advantageous for their race, he can beat the opposition because he would be higher skilled.
If it's advantageous for the seeded player against a none seeded player - then that's how seeds work, you get an easier route to the higher end of the bracket.

Yea I notice that too every tournament, make it deep get to play Desert Oasis pvz when there's only good players left and you're out. It would indeed be an improvement if they put Desert Oasis and Scrap Station in the earlier rounds of the tournament and then take it from there.

(not the reason I lost today, was pvp I sucked and I suck at pvp)

not sure how many players get seeded in zotac, but it would be an ok solution
better would be to just scrap some of the maps altogether

Agreed. The game was kind of lame despite being two very skilled players. The map made the game less enjoyable to watch. I would have said best of three at 16 though. I was surprised it was only at 8.
Life is Good.

tournaments should just block out desert oasis, ive never heard a single soul in this world say that map is good or enjoyable
not to mention its literally impossible to win pvz on it

im also little bummed out how zotac plays the ENTIRE TOURNAMENT until the end without any breaks. i wish they had some kind of break before u play top8 or something because when u reach so far u really become tired hungry or simply just feel like taking a break for a while, but u cant do that :/

zotac got potential to become even greater, its just up to the admins over there to listen to the advise they r given
