So it's pointless having pages of drivel just because it COULD be done. I think another topic would be better for that. This is a live report thread. Well, it's specificly about this tournament allowing it - because GSL for example does NOT allow race-picking afaik. So my first post regarding this topic wasn't about race-picking in general, just about me being surprised that it's even allowed. Anyways: what's wrong with GLHF, they just randomly decided to not stream matches while so many are being played right now?
GSL is a totally different thing because you only have to play and prepare one matchup for a day.

Most tournaments actually allow race picking. I don't see any problem whatsoever. And normally you can't change beetween games only beetween matches, so there's no map imbalance shit.

I tought TLO would stay with random a well what it takes to win. Nothing against TLO, but I HATE it when race picking is allowed. There should only be the option to play all terran/toss/zerg or random the whole tournament long. Uh, care to elaborate? It's pretty lame if a random player on like Steppes can counterpick T and when the opponent picks scrap they can just select Z and so on. So what ? Thats the bonus of playing random .. Not. The bonus of playing random is...playing random. When I lose a game I choose the map that profits me the most. Against zerg I'd have no problem with lost temple, but knowing that my opponent "might" counter-pick terran, I'd never go with lost temple. Against terran I love shakuras, but who knows, maybe my opponent will pick zerg there. And so on. I just don't like it.

I can't see any logic behind it not being allowed. He doesn't pick based on maps. He always picks TvT because he likes TvT. Rest he plays random. So he's not abusing what so ever. People know beforehand that he does this and it doesn't require any more practice for them. It's not like he abuses map imbalances. Lol that's not the point. The point is that it "could" be done, not that anyone actually does it. And that is EXACTLY what is the good side of beeing random. Your opponent just cant prepare, because you can pick the favoured race whenever you need to. Its not that its easy to be good at every race on top level .. Why shouldn't you take this advantage in a tourney .. ?
Apart from the fact that Race-Picking isn't playing Random.
