Not really. Winner's league format is so much better--at least, GSTL has had a lot better games than proleague has had so far.


You really, like REALLY think that winners league is better than this format? I mean, sure, its your opinion. But... I just dont understand.


We had the same two systems in WC3 and I would prefer the winners league system over this format any day. I think it's much more interesting and dynamic


Winners league lets a team with 1 good player win though. Proleague is actually based on which is the better TEAM.


That's not true. That's what snipers are for etc. Both systems actually produce very similar results. We had this discussion going on for years in WC3. A lot in this system depends on luck (map + matchup you get). While in the elemination format good team-strategies can win you the day.

Just because your sub par foreigners can't prepare and adapt doesn't mean a map shouldn't be played. This is how PL has always been, maps in fact add to the strategic depth.


Not when the metagame is thrown out the window.


especially when the metagame is thrown out of the window.


No, strategic depth is developed when existing strategies are played out in relation to new ones. This generates the layers of strategy that constitutes the metagame. When the metagame is non-existent, everything is gimmick, and strategy is shallow. There is no depth.

Lol, this is funny. let's just keep making GSL formula maps and play that all day.


So you're implying that every non-GSL map do not allow the metagame to play out? That is ridiculous, new maps are fine. Not wonky maps though, not for a legitimate competitive game.

Oh please stop with the metagame thing. I don't want to see the same shit every game and it's obvious these new maps are being well received. Watch some games on the map before you say if doesn't produce competitive games.


Sure, if all you're interested in is entertaining games. A competitive RTS is more about entertainment, there is supposed to be a developed strategic skillset involved. That's what keeps it interesting in the long run anyway.


Mindlessly doing the exact same cookie cutter build every single game on every single map is not a developed strategic skillset. Here we see those who prepare for a map, come up with their own strategies, actually adapt and play smart are those who do well.


Playing the metagame is nothing like doing the exact same old cookie cutter build... You have no idea what you're talking about.


These days it is. Sure it's important to have some degree of consistency to allow a metagame to develop. But what we see in SC2 now is not a developing metagame, it's stagnation. Every game plays out the same, every map plays out the same. It's boring as shit. You need to keep things fresh and reward innovation.

Some crazy new maps to shake things up a bit are a very welcome addition and long overdue. The overwhelmingly favorable response should be proof enough of that.

This format favours more preparation and less generic games. I like Winner's League for one round but any more and it gets a bit dull (they had it for two rounds of a season a few years ago)

So this is why Effort is 1-11 in ZvP.

Exactly, and bring that to ladder too.

Hell, I used to love the old map-pool with XNC and Metalopolis. Yeah they weren't great maps, but as a Protoss I had to play out games using different openers to other maps, and different openers if I spawned close air on Meta.

Players, especially Zergs (no offence folks ) complained so much that they wanted macro maps that we have incredibly stagnant map pool and styles employed

JYP seemed determined to lose that engagement, exposing the 3rd and letting effort get a concave with hydras.

And he still crushed it.
