There's no problem with that though, format of a tournament only changes once a season, if you want to change something there, you have to be vocal consistently. I personally have no problem with all-kill, but if they have, there are not that many other channels to communicate it. (Ofc I may be a bit biased here, since I use my freedom of expression against bad systems quite often).

he could make a thread, ask for a vote to see what the viewers think and show it to TaKe, not whine about it each time Axiom loses or when some other player do an all-kill


You would rather someone make an extra thread than criticize the format in the thread for the tournament where that feedback is supposed to be posted?

yes, I think it would have more views than lost in the middle of a LR thread, especially if you are the creator of the threads, that automatically attract more ppl


As I said before, we've already discussed the format with the organizers. Creating a thread would make little difference at this point.


I would prefer a separate thread as well to see what the community and other teams think (if you are interested in that). Otherwise people will regard what it is being said only as a reaction to a single result. Some users that don't read the LR stuff can participate as well and some people might bring up arguments they don't bother to bring up during LR.

Well let's see shall we:

Poll: What format do you prefer?

Proleague (72)
 
62%

All-kill no revive (35)
 
30%

All-kill with revive (10)
 
9%

117 total votes

Your vote: What format do you prefer?

(Vote): All-kill with revive
(Vote): All-kill no revive
(Vote): Proleague




I know it's only a sample size of 34 so far but I think 22-12, almost double the support, is pretty overwhelmingly in favour of the proleague format.

It's what the fans want, I hope the next season could use the proleague format. Or at the very least ditch the revive rule.

"All the time"? It's not discussed that often and also it's an LR thread, there's not a lack of space, there is no harm in discussing it.

Inbetween breaks there is enough time to discuss this kind of stuff. So why not.

all the time as "almost each time Axiom play in ATC" since that's when you are on LR thread
I just don't understand why you so want to "discuss" about that in LR threads but think it would be useless to create a constructive thread and ask the opinions of everyone...

personally, I would like ATC to have 2 divisions of 6 or 7 teams each, and use 2 round robin, 1 in all kill format and the other in PL format.
then top 2 go directly in offline grand finals, without playoffs

and the top 2 of division 2 are promoted to div 1

The only reason I'm discussing it is because you didn't want me to I was happy just to make a statement about how I disliked All-kill and leave it at that, but you insisted on making it a conversation so this is all your doing

I wrote an entier thing the last time this topic came around. For team leagues in SC2, there have been 6-7 other formats.

For brevity's sake I took out the EG Masters Cup because no one has the time for 5 bo3's and no one likes the weird "field a player twice during normal play, but use someone else as ace" bo7 thingy.

The best done among all of the ones ever run is GSTL Season 2: (Wiki)2013 Global StarCraft II Team League Season 2

2 rounds of AK, 2 rounds of PL format. With 12 teams in the league this works out fine, but would probably be harder to organize.

There is Also (Wiki)Shoutcraft Clan Wars

Probably the most diverse and fun format as it includes Starbow, 2v2 and PL.

(Wiki)IPL Team Arena Challenge/3

There's also IPL Team Arena. Instead of qualifiers into round robin, you could just do a massive doulble bracket elim with either PL or AK format.

Then there's also other random formats like bo5 PL style if thye need shorter broadcasts, or the IPL Fight Club bounty rule if you need to make generally useless matches more exciting.

What a horrible strategy. A few ultras off creep with no banelings, not too hard for Taeja to target them down.
