As it stands the $5000 budget a month will support 10 Clan Wars at $500 a piece. Hope that you guys weed a little bit of crazy out over time (The crazy that doesn't work obviously) and make this into a testing grounds for new concepts (Which it kind of looks like it attempts to be, but some of these concepts just seem like they are doomed to fail) Also I hope this doesn't go the way of the hybrid proleague. | ||

It's a Herculean task to get teams like that to send the star players into the lineup sometimes. If you want IM to field their A-Teamers, you would need to hire the Yakuza AND the Triads to visit IM's coach Kang in order to "persuade" him, and even then there's only a 65% chance he'll bow down to the pressure. | ||

Y'know what's telling about how stagnant map design is right now? That people think this pool we have here is "crazy". This is mild compared to some of the ideas we had. I think once people see the games they will be surprised at just how sane the maps actually are. | ||

Hahaha, could you share some of the map design ideas that were going around, but you guys ultimately rejected? How long was the process of map selection? Here's the thing if it weren't for protoss most of these designs would have worked out, but with current game design it just seems like we'll get some interesting TvT, TvZ and ZvZ and broken PvX. | ||
