Then everyone will know exactly what matchups to prepare for. I am all for allowing racepicking in tournaments as long as you make it clear before you enter the competition which matchups you are going to play, ie not allowing changing during the run of the tournament. ZpuX! O_O Where have you been? XD I remember watching Zotac Cups with you back in the beta! XD | ||

If my Protoss opponent decides he doesn't like PvP and plays TvP instead, I still know how to play PvT. It doesn't on a 1 day tournament beyond the first match, but on longer tournaments could completely screw the other player preparation. | ||

Kinda similar to how in team matches a Random player completely screws over the decision of who to send out because you can't snipe them. | ||

In MLGs rules it states that the players must report to the ref before each match what they will play, if I am not mistaken. It should definately be allowed. Can't see why it should not be a tool for someone with sufficient skills in more than one race. | ||

They need to prepare for all matchups, and if they are properly prepared they will know the opponent can switch races and will be prepared for that. The fact they need to learn two races should be rewarded not punished. | ||

Pretty hard to come back tho  everyone got so good, and especially protoss figured out how to play against zerg, which is rather annoying.Also, I dont know baseball, didn't get that reference. Not really sure what you were comparing with, I was just giving my opinion on why race picking should be allowed and under what circumstances to avoid people from not letting others prepare properly for a match. | ||

And why shouldn't it - if a player has the ability to play more than one race at the necessary competetive level why should he not be allowed to leverage that for options? | ||
