Mm one more thing. We should have one starting map set per week, and then loser picks.

Also, we should implement something that lets us see the results for each of the 3 games of each set.



While everyone is practicing vP strategies, I have a terran and a zerg to play on the first week T_T.

What's the link to the website?

Also, Karliath, I was curious, what software are you using to make that cast? Looked like a good start, but I'm not sure how to do the voice over, the banner hiding the game length bar, etc. I'm assuming you're using fraps? In any case, just let me know so that I can work on my casting as well.



On the point system, I was reconsidering the system for deciding who gets into the finals. Obviously, the top 4 players get in. Orignially, number of rounds won is the first deciding factor. Then, points based on win:loss through the games within the rounds, ie win=3,loss=0, tie=1. I thought of a scenario that would arrise from this which isnt exactly fair. If say, Mission won several rounds at 2-0, while I won several rounds at 2-1, we would have the same number of round wins, and points, however Mission crushed his opponents while i skirted by somehow. I'm thinking losses should hurt us in some way. Perhaps now, wins should be +4 points, and losses should be -1, and ties, we'll just keep at +1, not that i foresee them happening, though. In this case, all my -1's for the lost games will show up when comparing our scores, thus giving credit where credit is due.

As for maps, I say we predetermine the first map, and then winner vetos a map first, and loser picks from the remaining 1v1 maps. I'm tempted to simply say Lost Temple, Blistering Sands, Desert Oasis, Scrap Station, Metalopolis, XelNaga Caverns, Delta Quadrant, Steppes of War, Kulas Ravine (essentially the 1v1 Blizz maps. Am I leaving any out?) and how about this(note: both bo3's per week use the same setup):

weekly first maps:

Week1: Lost Temple
Week2:Desert Oasis
Week3:Metalopolis
Week4:Scrap Station
Week5: Kulas Ravine
Week6: XelNaga Caverns
Week7: Delta Quadrant
Week8:Steppes of War
Week9:Blistering Sands
Week10:Lost Temple
Week11: Blistering Sands
Week12:Kulas Ravine
Week13:Steppes of War


Finals:
3v4: Scrap Station
Xv2: Desert Oasis
Xv1:Metalopolis

And guys, always, always, always, ask your winning opponent from the previous game which map he vetoes before announcing your map choice. I think in the Cup#2 we were forgetting to do this, not that it seemed to cause many problems, but let's get it right this go round.

Um, I guess, if we have a good reason and consensus. Though keep in mind it's just 1 of the 5 games. I just willy nilly picked those maps, mostly just attempting a 1v1, then a 2v2, then a 1v1, etc. I remember Day9 saying how much he likes desert oasis, since it has typically strange games, and I thought it might serve to require us to step out of our comfort zones. I don't like desert oasis much myself, but then no one does, so I'd like to think it's even in that regard.

Idk, I'll change it if you guys really want to, it's whatever.

crossfire? hmmm, i'll check it out... I was also thinking debris field might be interesting, as it's an islands map... :/ Any other suggestions? I'll be happy to add them to the pool and remove any doubles of maps, as far as 1st maps go, since there's 13 weeks and 3 more rounds for the finals, yet only 9 maps in the 1v1 pool. If added, they'll be available for veto &/or losers choice. But I don't want more than 16 maps total.

All agreed on adding crossfire and debris field?

Agreed, although islands might favor terran dramatically.

Idk... Not necessarily, all races have drops, and zerg air beats terran air, and then zerg also has nydus. I'm not too afriad of terran on an island map, especially since mutas>vikings. As for toss, I'd assume they have a really decent airforce, and thus they'd be fine, and warp prisms will allow for some decent ground harrass. It will be different, for sure, but I think it would be fun. All races have their pros and cons when it comes to islands, but we can all tech to t3 which may provide some very interesting games, cast worthy for sure.
