to let the other team pick the player they want to play against in this case??
Well i guess this could be easily abused, but on the other hand it would be an amazing opportunity for the players who don't usually play to get some screen time AND possible mad upsets
I think this would be a pretty neat idea. I wouldn't fault them for not implementing it because the current way is how is works in many sports, but I don't see anything wrong with the idea.

Err.. What would happen is all the teams would make their roster to be as small as possible, so that they'd only have strong players to pick from. So you'd have to force teams to have large rosters, which would be incredibly unfair towards teams that have less money or just aren't that "deep" in general. And think of the poor players who just happened to be the worst players of their teams! They'd be FORCED to play pretty much every match and probably lose most games. Are you not seeing enough all-kills with this format already? If the winner picks the next opponent, then the first game is like the most important game of each match, and then it's about whether the winner will drop the ball playing against weaker opponents. And if he does drop the ball, then it's the weaker players playing all rest of the match for both teams and nobody cares to watch it anymore..
Yup, don't see an end to the problems this idea has One positive point is we'd see Bisu a whole lot more!

The guy was talking about what to do when a player does not show up, not about every game. Like Hero today, who did not show up for his match, instead of a Walk Over, the other team would pick a substitute.

That's too easy for the late team, and can possibly be taken advantage of. For example, if the starter just got a slight fever last night, or doesn't feel right for some reason, they can make the starting player arrive late intentionally, thinking that any other player on the bench will be better at that point. If they just bring 4 of their best players there, not much they can lose from that point.

In individual sports it is trickier, but on a team sport (like this is a team tournament) sick players get substituted without problems. Even when there is a obligation to announce publicly who is going to play.
But I digress. Any rule is just as long as both team agree and play by it.

Duhhh.. Boy, do I feel dum  That makes a whole lot more sense indeed

I can't believe I missed that; I even was awake at that point in time...
|
Yeah, if you missed last night's match, you missed a good one. Stephano bringing it back around was amazing! And Jaedong's first ZvZ was crazy. Also, Revival's first game.... I was so worried he wasn't going to get those Mutalisks in time, but I think the terran player could have easily gone for the 3rd which would have but Revival more behind then some drones. Oh well, still an amazing night, even with all the ZvZ's, haha.

Any interview with winner of this match on Korean website? If so can you link please
|
Just to put this into perspective.
Stephano has just won four MVP awards.

i loled at stuck at traffic

Stephanoachs too strong. Also unaffected by Infested Terran Nerf.
WP Stephano, good job EGTL.

The twitch VODs for Proleague are Spoiler city. Very frustrating. Especially as I paid $5 dollars for the privilege. Does anyone know if there's any prospect of a fix for this? In the mean time, is there any way for me to fix this?
