That means you can't racepick, because you won't know your opponent's race until lineups are revealed.

Lame.

So you have to submit your race? I can't just say "I want to play on TDA set 3"? Any particular reason? :o

Uh, that gives you an unfair advantage over others?

You can't say "I want to pick whatever matchup I'm best at when I see my opponent's race," especially when they're blind picking

I might try to make it out to spectate some brobostrats be concocted and executed with finesse. Looks like brobo is going to mindfuck the shit out of people.

How does that give any advantage whatsoever? It's not like they can't do the same. A lot of LANs allow it. I know the UCSD LAN that just happened allowed it, and MLG allows it too. Why would they be "blind picking"? They'd be doing the same...?

So you're gonna choose tvz on shattered temple and then pvz on xelnaga. How is that fair? and what if you want to play terran vs my zerg and i decide i want to play terran vs your terran and then you decide you want to play protoss vs my terran?

And this has been an issue EVER? No, throughout all the LANs that allow race picking, this NEVER becomes an issue. Show me some times where this has become an issue.

If major tournies like GSL and MLG allow it and don't experience issues, I'm very hard pressed to find how you can make that argument. If it came down to it, flip a coin. We had to do that like twice for that UCSD LAN to determine vetos and starting maps.

You also don't say why it isn't fair. Why is it unfair to choose TvZ on shattered and PvZ on Xel Naga? You can choose whatever race you want, I can choose whatever race I want. You haven't made your point.

EDIT: Reason being, I've always played ZvT instead of TvT.

rofl if a terran can't win tvz on shattered temple they should uninstal the game because they are fucking terrible. the same can be said for t/p on XNC vs zerg. if you are really questioning the balance about maps which are inherently broken idk what to say.

Individual tournaments are different, because you know your opponent's race ahead of time. MLG also lets you change races in between games. That's fine in that setting. In a clanwar setting, it makes less sense, especially with our format.

I've participated in ESEA and some other small one about the same size I can't remember the name also allowed race picking.
