Pretty sure they get the map list, then decide who to put down who for which map for sets 1-6 (they'll also be trying to figure out who the opposing team would be putting down), then they play. For set 7 (ace match), I think the team/coaches decide who to send out after set 6 is played and the score is tied. For example, look at CJ/WS and T8/KHAN's matchups. Sets 1-6 has already been decided, and they play tomorrow. | ||

Blind picks is just wrong, alot of strategy goes into picking what player to play on what map. See 2011 S1 of proleague, some players literally only played on 1 map regardless of which team or potential match up they get and got ridiculous win rates on them (Samsung / Woongjin profited SO much from this). And the aces had to dodge maps on purpose (see flash / fantasy / effort) to avoid other teams making strategies against them specifically to snipe them, alot of players made particularly obvious interview comments like the one by Dear after he beat Flash that he was literally preparing just for Flash with this one build on this one map that they expected Flash to appear on. Examples: Brave and Chain reaction Crazy Hydra and chain reaction / Sniper ridge Effort (CJ ace) dodging maps Flash (Ace of KT) dodging maps | ||

T-T... they probably know more about their players than we do. maybe trap is better than bogus. maybe trap's pvp is better than bogus' tvp. maybe planet S is a heavily protoss favoured map. who knows :p | ||
