At first I was skeptical, but it actually adds a unique layer of accessibility to the tournament. We decided to stick with more conservative, albeit, longer format since there is a good amount of cash on the line. | ||

We decided to stick with more conservative, albeit, longer format since there is a good amount of cash on the line. no the old format where it took atleast a month finish, with one match a day. That format was alot of planning, and overlapped with alot of other tournies due to its length,or personal obligations, Its alot easier to put aside 1 day and go for it. Personally I like bo3, because everyone has maps they dont like or their race performs poorly on and it just becomes a luck of the draw if your say evenly matched or slightly better than another player. While playhem does add that layer of accessibility by finishing quicker etc, it also kind of devalues wins or makes it not seem so great when you do win against a strong player earlier on. A good example was when I took down viOlet in a 30 minute macro game in a playhem tourney, in round 2... So we played 1 game, and alot of people on my stream were like luck, that wont happen again etc... Its worth alot more to a player like myself if I am playing well and win a bo3, or even when I lose its worth more since I get atleast two games with a decent opponent. and the joke about being cursed with forever 8-12th, is because thats pretty much where ive been stuck every previous TEC, and with single elim, 8-12th is no longer a stopping point lol, as it will be top 8 or top 16. | ||

Edit: I like the map pool. I think these community tournaments should have the ladder map influence as casual players are more likely to be accustom to those maps over tournament maps. | ||
