While this is a fantastic idea, I feel like the players chosen are a bit too unevenly matched.

Nonetheless, I'd love to see similar things, especially with odd map-pools and other minor balance tweaks be given mini tournaments like this in the future.

So Destiny is the biggest name in this tournament coz he is in thread name?

He was one of the most popular sc2 streamers for a long time then disappeared to LoL while leaving behind a fairly large fanbase. By putting his name in the title it will bring in his old viewers and more than likely some of his newer league viewers.

This is in contrast to the other players whose fans haven't gone anywhere and will more than likely be watching this tournament regardless of whether their player is in it.

Only 2 toss... Destiny might have a chance here.

Haha, Destiny has a chance when San is in the tournament?

Hopefully someone takes San out before he can even play Destiny, but I really hope that Destiny uses his defensive swarmhost BS while he just spams infested terrans in the enemy's base.

Destiny is going to get wrecked, even at his peak he was mid tier NA player. Should be fun though

We need more Terrans for this. I think people are vastly underestimating the damage dealt to TvT by this joke of a patch.

Sounds like an awesome idea though. I will tune in for sure guys.

oh right... sc2 is dying because Destiny switched to LoL.

Cool idea, I think this is a good precedent for future balance patches. I hope it becomes something regular, nothing like actual playtesting with spectators to see how changes really work out.

Is his opinion of balance changes pretty useful? yes.

glad we have him here.

Yeah he does throw out good thoughts, often not worded in the best ways but hey we know what to expect!!!

It's a good idea.

I think the way these balance tests usually go is lots of average players angry about the changes try to do the problem thing from before badly and it doesn't work, so Blizard decide its a fail and scrap it...

This is a vastly superior system. I hope you guys have the balance team on board with this?
