If your trying to really find a good player why oh why do you do a Bo1 for your early rounds?


Because they dont have all the time in the world to run a tournament.


Split it over 2 days? Bo1 is the fastest way to miss good players imo.

TLopen, craftcup and go4sc2 all do fine with the best players ending up at the top and they have way more bo1 rounds. Its a tough way to play, but it isnt inaccurate.

ive seen top players go out first round in ccup, the only reason we say bo3 is because we dont want team dignitas ending up with 8 people in a final who all 4 gated 2 rax scv or 6 pooled to the top 4 in each qualifier do we.

To some degree it may be inaccurate, but yeh. This is true..

If you are inconsistent and can't beat a player in a lower league (for example), then you don't deserve to win anyway.

I do agree with this, but then.. this is a tournament. Players do any means necessary to win. Even though you might feel you are the better player. Thats why the BO3 series comes into effect around this time, to drain out these players.

Masters has a wide range of abilities and in PvP for example its very easy to lose to someone worse than you. Ive beaten Dignitas Bischu in a bo1 PvP but i dont think im better than him and the map was metalopolis.

The better player doesn't always win, this is Starcraft 2

Probably during that game you played better than Bischu.

(: Starcraft 2 is more about being consistent to achieve high aims. I would rant on people I have beaten in CraftCup, but it was probably by luck of BO.

But with the amount of rounds present in this tournament, the best players will show.

are people actually suggesting that a player who 6 pools or 4 gates every game is more likely to win in a Bo1 than someone who plays standard??

then do it every game on the ladder!

cheeses are good for mixing it up within a series. i would be extremely surprised if someone who 6 pooled every game managed to win like 6 games straight, the chances are extremely unlikely....

im saying its entirely possible especially on one of the smaller maps that a 6 pool / 2 rax / 4 gate w/e could knock out a very good player.

you might not 6 pool 6 games straight to knock out a good player, you could play standard vs people your level and then see ur up against a good player and go dam im just gonna cheese to try win. That could end up with a good player losing to 1 instance of a 6 pool.

I think your blowing this way out of proportion in a delusive view
You clearly haven't seen the map pool. - It's part of the game, not the best always wins.

Especially on a map pool that DOESNT include steppes of war, blistering sands etc.

catch i dont just mean a 6 pool there are more than 6 pool as cheese i just used it as an example and i think its pretty clear that good players can lose to much worse players through cheese.

First of all, we really appreciate all your feedback, let that be clear. Nonetheless we have decided to stick to the new mappool with Backwater Gulch, Slag Pits and Shattered Temple replacing Blistering Sands, Delta Quadrant and Lost Temple. Seeing as those maps are in the Blizzard ladder mappool and thus have to be practised either way, we believe that this is the fairest way to go about it (keeping in mind of course that they are quite balanced).

We will also leave the schedule as it is with Rounds 1-3 being Best of One and Round 4 & 5 (Quarter Final) Best of Three. Remember that each player has two vetos during the map picking process of those last rounds.

A reminder news with all the details (when/how to check-in) and hopefully (fingers crossed) stream details(!) will go live on our page Sunday noon...ish .

Awesome!

I'm super bad, but it'd be cool to meet a few more brits!

See you on the battlefield....
