Whatever, let's roll!

The map pool for Season 3.14 is the following:

Agria Valley
Abyssal Reef
Cloud Kingdom
King Sejong Station
Coda
Blackpink
Aiur City Island

First 6 maps are (ex-)ladder maps and thus in case of any confusion, the latest ladder version is to be played. They all seem to be LoTV-freindly (minerals nad gas) on EU, but I urge players to check before a game. The last map is twice on EU, please play the version with no "mod". Also please study the map beforehand, it's really unusual.

The first team pairing was fairly rolled by intotheheart and the maps are as following:

Drunk Santa vs. O'sAOYUT

Abyssal Reef
Blackpink
Aiur City Island
Coda

ace: Could Kingdom

Cricket > Footbal vs. 동 하면 채동

King Sejong Station
Agria Valley
Aiur City Island
Cloud Kingdom

ace: Coda

According to W1 accelerated schedule, captains must submit their lineups before FRIDAY 17:00 GMT (+00:00) and be available (or have someone backup available) at the time for switching. The games need to be played and the replays submitted either until next THURSDAY 15:00 GMT (+00:00) or can be played live on next THURSDAY (Dec 21) from 19:00 GMT (+00:00) - the exact time is yet subject to confirmation. Streaming will be likely provided by (at that time) drunk Luolis, possibly with help of other SC2-analysts such as the low diamond ith or in the worst case, myself

Good luck, have fun!

For anyone playing Aiur City Island, please note what was said in the map thread :
"After the map has been hosted it's necessary to change from melee to miscellaneous in the map options menu on the right"
E : I actually don't know why we need to do that, I just tried it in melee and the bridges worked fine.

ith draft preparation:

I wanted a racially diverse team to cope with the map landscape. Understandably, maps don't have the highest impact at all skill levels, but I didn't wanna take a bunch of players into their race's graveyard, either.


Knowing I was second, and seventh pick made life a whole lot easier. I expected Cric to slam the Railgan pick. I was more interested in Durn anyway, as I didn't want Railgan to suffer another few rounds of me. My second pick (and seventh pick overall) was to take ArtyK, or Elentos. Assuming I couldn't get a higher-MMR zerg player than Elentos, anyway. This left me with a lot of racial flexibility, since the maps were not known at the time. In the event Durn was taken first and I could not rely on him, I decided to pencil in Luolis, and try to table either ArtyK or a higher-MMR Zerg player. In this situation, I wouldn't have taken Elentos second pick.

The draft came, and Durn was taken first. I took Luolis, which was a choice leaving Railgan in the pool. The next picks were Railgan, ArtyK, Mizenhauer, and Poopi.

Given I already had a Terran player from earlier, I decided to just take the highest-MMR zerg I could, as Elentos was still in the pool if necessary, and ArtyK was no longer around. Furthermore, I had Luolis which was perfectly reasonable. I took Kashim because he had the highest MMR of the zerg players in the pool. I briefly thought about Olli over Kashim, but I knew he was busy. Furthermore, I'm not able to play this round, either. So if we have two of five guys not available for the round, it may annoy the rest of the team, so I took Kashim to avoid that.

Olli and Ej were scooped up, and I decided to make do, and take Elentos. Another Terran player. No complaints. At this point, my strategy of trying to racially balance my team had done me well,or so I thought at the time. Without knowing the map pool, I thought to diversify my team in that respect.

Phred, Musicus, and Seeker were taken next, so I took Argonauta. Another Zerg player. I got lucky with that pick, as it turns out he is willing to play all 3 races.

The last player in the draft - Solar242 was given to Opisska, who also agreed in good faith to not play Railgan every single match, and try to run Solar242 as often as possible.

I think I'm happy with the balance of my team, but we'll see if I was just stupid for not slamming the highest-MMR players. I consulted my team for the map pick of Cloud Kingdom, which was our second pick in the event KSS was already in the pool.

I had Inflicted and Argo mixed up - thought Argo was the Z/T player.

Note: I did all my draft prep in 15 minutes and don't remember everyone's race.

So you spent more time writing that out than prepping for the draft? I can see you're the next Coach Park.

I always picked the highest MMR player available at the moment, as I have announced previously I will do, thus making it easier for the other captains. I am that a nice person (not just someone who wants to have good players, no no ...)
