Indeed but during the Axiom/TaKe drama TB said that he didn't want Axiom to be part of TaKe's events anymore. Maybe he changed his mind, it would be nice.
Also, I just read the rulesbook and i'm REALLY glad that pretty much all the concerns about the season 1 rules have been listened :
- removal of the special revive - only 1 round - additional rules about teams not being able to find a date for their match (like Axiom last time with their 5+ matches late)

Good job !
Yeah, the rulebook is MUCH better. Extra things you didn't mention:
- Less delay before and during the clanwar. No ROOT showing up 30 minutes late anymore. - Only one chance for regame after a disconnect. No situations like Liquid vs MVP etc.
I hope both TakeTV is professional and strict enough to enforce the rules and the teams professional enough to oblige or otherwise not to participate. Last season was maybe excusable because of all the WCS stuff appearing midseason, but now it should be pretty clear that you have to be able to field a team every week. And teach your players how to not expose their IP addresses!
Also, every team now gets $3,500 in travel compensation instead of $1500.
Flaws: - The mappool is again ultra-conservative. Especially Daybreak has no place in SC2 anymore. - It doesn't answer what constitutes a team. Not sure if it needs a rule or not. The problem with Karont3 was the admin backtracking, not the decision - Somewhere it says CEST. Daylight Saving Time ends soon - The standings criteria 3-4 should be removed entirely, especially they shouldn't be before 5-6:
3. More wins overall in maps 4. Less losses overall in maps
Not only is criterion 4 completely redundant as 3 together with 2 (map difference) is the same, but the criteria shouldn't be before H2H. Again, these rules exist in football to encourage more offensive play, they don't make sense in SC2.
And I obviously hope they get an English and French caster for every clanwar.
Hope teams that did not have enough time to maintain the schedule of this team league take a step back this time, and allow teams who would pour their heart into it to participate instead.

edit: I am not saying WCS has the best mappool, but this is extremely friendly/familiar to use.
I agree, WCS is using the current ladder maps, so ATC should do aswell (+2 ofc because its bo9). But I bet that will change before the start of the regular season

Didnt EG basically forfeit their qualification spot last season because you guys had your own teamleague in the making?
But im very happy that ATC returns with an improved rulebook concerning scheduling. And i dont mind that the revive rule is gone.
Travel support was upped to 3500$ + 2 hotel rooms. For european teams thats basically covering all travel costs. Thats really good. Its a good thing that all information are there and you have to confirm that you've read them when you sign up. Those drama proactive prevention skills :D

This is a very good point. It has nothing to do in a league where you can't exceed a certain number of points in a match (5 in this case).
Only a chance for 3 teams? Kinda silly, placing top 7 shouldn't guarantee you entry again. I'd say top 4 with 6 qualifier spots, or 5 each. Makes it super hard for teams to qualify is all.
As others have said, please update the map pool and continue to update the map pool as the season plays out. It is quite boring to see maps being played that haven't seen the ladder for nearly 6 months. Just change it and move on.

Why does this matter?
- In my opinion it's disrespectful towards a tournament, turning up with your anonymous ladder account when you are supposed to be "dressed" - Foreign language streams sometimes don't have score overlays and it's hard for viewers to know who it is - You are supposed to represent your team and your account with clantag is the closest thing to a jersey ingame - Confusion for admins, opponent players and casters as to who the guy is that joined the lobby, if he is even eligible to play etc. - It was tedious to associate barcodes to the players in replaypacks afterwards
Oh yeah! Looking forward to Season 2 =) The rulebook seems to be pretty good, only update the mappool plz =) And plz, plz take care of more consistent english casts, I remember english casters not getting access to the scheduling (TotalBiscuit) and admins not responding to potential english casters (ESLTaiwan). I guess that wasn't really professional and I felt it was handled quite poorly.
And yaaay for no Barcodes allowed, really good move! I hope other tourneys will do the same soon
Looking at the teams I think its really good that its EU centric (2 NA teams Root and coL + Invictus Gaming + Frenetic Array). That would really help with scheduling any so on. I'm still surprised EG isnt even in there, dont know if they applied or not.

I Suppose it has something to do with the whole KHAN rumours or something. It could also be that they just can't participate. Still BIG shame
I guess its kinda expected, having to run a fundraiser to get to the offline finals, duckdeok paying his own flight to WCS EU (which he probably has to do again) and the team leaving esF and being in a weird space of nothing right now.
I doubt they could've afforded to fly 4 players over again.
The only thing thats good about this is that it makes the league wide open (if anyone can kill Innovation twice that is)

Yeah, mYinsanity! they have a really nice shot, only Fnatic is a thread. Harstem is dangerous. hopefully jjakji is able to play, than it would be ezpz, but otheriwse Stardust needs to do an all-kill, but i'm feeling good with that.
I really would like to get our team involved with helping to English cast, but neither emails nor skype have yielded results. What's the next best way to attempt getting involved?

Pughy mentioned on twitter that he'll be casting the qualifier.

im rooting for Fnatic (#YearOfHarstem), Na'vi, ROOT and Invictus!
I wonder if Invictus can afford flights to Germany though in case they made it to the playoffs. I cant imagine that Frenetic Array could afford 4 flights from Australia for example :D
mYinsanity with StarDust is favored vs aAa but if aAa manages to snipe him they have a clear advantage. Until the revive. :p I doubt mYi will send Jjakji as he was playing in IEM qualifiers earlier today.

No. I guess they will start enforcing it in the regular season.

People can bash me all they want, but while I always was straight forward even against players and people I don't like, I hear people talking behind my back because they seemingly have no balls to tell me straight forward. Sad to see. And yes I do believe a 4 time GSL champion with MVP should not need to bring his A-Game to win against a up and coming player.
I never discredited showtime, he is a very good up & coming player, still MVP is an example of a very solid all around player that can bring anything to the table. So blame me for having an opinion on that matter!
Edit: For that matter, I always spoke out against people that simply claimed "imba imba" (reference naniwa vs MMA on Newkirk at WCS) where MMA completely threw the game.

if he loses with out his a game then obvious he does need it. mvp is hardly the only former champion to lose to vastly less accomplished players that only have fan favorite status to spare them from having the up and comers label where's the op calls every time mc loses? or nestea?

I have no idea about that, but I was like T_T because I really like your casting and think it is one of the best available in the german language!
A-game or no, and as sad as it is for fans - even the TvT series vs. noname was more like gifted to him by noname's inexperience and weak mentality than him playing great...
Still like that you are still part of the SC2 community (at least I hope that's the case!)

bw is something else, it's a complete other game and you know it. and i don't know why you even care about people bashing you on a forum and it's not really bashing either, it's not like we are insulting you. we only think your decision is a bit rushed and you should mb rethink it.

Assuming he plays a lot of those people on the ladder, he may realize they have a specific weakness to a race or style. Too bad for random players, a majority of tournaments disallow race picking between games of a series.

I really am rooting for Team Property here. I'm getting bored of seeing ROOT in these team leagues only to do badly time and time again. In ATC Season 1 and SC2L they have finished second last both times (and in ATC1 that was helped by Karont3 disbanding).

They just played once. If Sage is selected as the ROOT ace, they will play again. That will be twice in a row.

Not sure why the hate for the revivals, it's not like TaeJa smashed his way to a top 2 finish for TL, or HyuN for QxG, as most people would have predicted beforehand. :s

I wouldn't be so sure of that. TheStC is sadly one of the most inconsistent players ever in SC2. Sometimes he looks really strong and sometimes he falls apart completely.

Sting's definitely been struggling recently, but Stardust hasn't necessarily fallen off yet. I'd indeed say that jjakji check and stardust are by far the most significant players in the match, though.

Perhaps my wording was a bit off, the point I was trying to make is that he's been dropping a lot more maps than you would expect from someone as good as he is, and in an online team league where people can prepare for a specific opponent that can make all the difference. I'd certainly rate him above Sting.
But none of that matters anyway if Check shows the same form he did today during the IEM qualifier. XD

Yes, Daisy and Starnan are at the mYi Teamhouse at the moment. So it surly will be a lot of fun. Sad for WW that Jjakji isn't in the Teamhouse yet.

I would really like to see mYi making it, if Stardust and Jjakji both have a good day, they should be able to do it. Also my heart goes with Empire+Elfi, i like these 3 players, and vs Navi they should win, i mean there is only Strelok, Lowely and Minato left....Elfi got this! :D
Not sure about the other matches, if theSTC has a good day Complexity should make it. But sadly i dont know if Bunny can hold on vs Jim, Macsed and XY...but he will suprise us anyway.
I can see an all-kill on the cards now. Invictus are 100% going through. If not an all-kill then Jim or MacSed will certainly finish the job off from here.
Well done XiGua on the all-kill. Invictus Gaming really do have strength in depth, I reckon they'll do well in the main event - the best of the four qualifiers at least.

Edison is the coach and all players play on his account
Honestly, CPHW are a pretty good team with some underrated players, although compared to the rest of the teams in this qualifier, they're probably the most reliant on a single player's performance to carry them. I don't necessarily think this match was representative of how good they are, but at the same time Invictus Gaming is pretty much the China all-star team here. Between Jim, MacSed and apparently the now-resurgent XiGua (plus a solid 4th in XY) I would definitely favor them over any other team in this qualifier, especially with the ace-match revival format.

I dont understand why they would pick players in this order, sending out Stardust out on Newkirk and Jjakji on Frost would've been the better choice. Frost is way too big for Stardusts playstyle
If this transpires as an all-kill then I'll be shocked. Invictus Gaming v Copenhagen Wolves I kinda expected but I thought this match-up would be close. It still might be if jjakji turns it on but it's been really strange so far.

It can still happen if they meet again in the ace match, but I doubt WW will let Jjakji get 3 more kills. We'll see ^^
Whom they will send to kill jjakji though?
its Sting ! though i have no idea who that player is
Well, he won IEM Singapore (the one, where Grubby was 2nd). And i believe he used to be on NSHS long time ago.
Fluke championships happen (sup Jjakji), and it was an extremely hard fought tournament for what was considered ez money for the Koreans. I watched the finals and it was mostly Grubby messing up than anything else. Plus he's fallen off considerably since then.
I reckon mYinsanity are a stronger team than WW so am surprised by this result but I suppose that's what happens when a player gets on a roll like that. Congratulations to Western Wolves and gl to them in the main event.

An all-kill format tends to favor the team with the strongest player, not necessarily that with the deepest roster, although the discrepancy is lesser than most people make it out to be. Check's been on fire this weekend and it showed.

Yes, I agree. I do like the all-kill format, it works great in the GSTL where all the players are generally top players who can beat anyone on their day. Then again, I really have enjoyed the format of the SC2L which gives all the players a chance to shine and leads to closer outcomes (in general).
can't really say Bratok played better that game at all. tonnes of mis engagements and he won because of that macro paying off and managed to stay alive after those horrible engagements
On September 09 2013 01:36 TheBloodyDwarf wrote: Mostly terrible fights from brat ok.
yep but regardless of how well they engage, in the late game terran can repeatedly snipe hatcheries with small groups of units which require no babysitting because zerg's mobility goes down and they continue having to expand further out
Now i understand the reasons behind 'never transition in ultras, never lose mobility' korean zergs.
Seems decent - the kind of player that's great to have as a backbone in a team league like ATC
Well he's 1/4 of the team he'd better be a good backbone. Credit where it's due he's notched up a win against crank which is alright.
Yeah he did okay in the SC2L. He also beat Tefel when they were playing coL-Dignitas iirc. Didn't change the fact that they were the league's whipping boys though.

How maybe time have i watched Terrans go in front of the enemy base, and get caught moving with every tanks unsieged ?

His positioning was not the problem. Strelok was dead by the time final fight happened. Elfi could have easily pulled back his ground troops and cut him down with tempests. Strelok should have all-ined before that point.

I suppose but Acer play in the SC2L. I can't really see how that would harm EG. The leagues aren't even scheduled for the same time and have a different format. I see the two leagues as complementing each other more than competing.
There must be a reason though, maybe it just doesn't tie up with their practice schedule or something crazy like that.

Probably because of difficult scheduling with the WCS stuff going on
Probably but after the somehow chaotic last season it may also be a issue (or problem..) with the TakeTV staff
While I do feel the same regarding the chaos in last season, I don't really think that this is a problem with the TakeTV-staff, as they are actively taking care to start the league in time :D

The stalkers were slightly out of position but still took no damage from the drop. It's very standard to be behind in supply vs a 2 base all in scv pulling terran while you are doing tech switches Ex. 1 Colossi no range into ht.
I purposely only had one colossi to make him make more vikings than he should, notice how he was building them 3 at a time?
Stc had lost even if he didnt land the vikings, vikings are completely useless besides for sniping colossi.
What's the point of calling out bad plays if you don't know standard builds of the matchup or know what the supplys are supposed to look like?
G2 was a bad build choice for the map, grats to col.

What's the point of calling out bad plays if you don't know standard builds of the matchup or know what the supplys are supposed to look like?
G2 was a bad build choice for the map, grats to col.

I guess they're for sure joining the next SPL season otherwise this makes no sense.
I can understand for the ATC as it was not profitable at all.
I thought I read somewhere that they increased the travel budget for this season or is that not true?
it is true, its 3500$ for a team, it was 1500$ for 1st season iirc
Yeah I thought so, I figure with that much it would be worth it for MVP to send 4 players to the finals but I guess they don't think so(or their schedule doesn't allow it because SPL).

I think it's going to be Invictus Gaming for sure. I reckon Invictus may finish 4th.
Empire-Ence looks pretty good.
Damn right they're pretty good. But I reckon both Invictus Gaming and Complexity are stronger. It'll be interesting who finishes higher out of Western Wolves and Empire-Ence.

It's not so much the direct cost that made a big difference for MVP. The main issue was that they no longer have a sponsor who is contracted to support the team's international activities.

I wish we could have a Fantasy ATC this time! :D
PS: I thought TaKe wanted real teams, how come they let Empire-Ence participate jointly?
We play our first game tomorrow vs Complexity at 17:00 CEST, so I guess you will see then! :D
