If you are going to use snake format in the draft, please swap the order of the 3rd and 4th rounds

i.e.
1st round: A > B > C > D > E > F > G > H
2nd: round: H > G > F > E > D > C > B > A
3rd round: H > G > F > E > D > C > B > A
4th round: A > B > C > D > E > F > G > H
5th round: A > B > C > D > E > F > G > H

A caster free for all to determine snake draft order? That will be among the most hype of this entire thing. There are so few hyped free for alls nowadays. They are the most chaotic variant that have been here year after year.

I got 8th pick last time, I suggested this be done then, but it wasn't, idk why.

This time there's a FFA to determine pick order so hoping not to get 8th pick again but who knows :D

Ideally in a world of perfect information and deterministic outcomes, the players have a univocal rank from best to worst. So each caster picks the best player available in the pool at his turn.

Even if in the end of both drafts the sum of ranking is the same, the reality is that the difference in player's ability flattens in the lower rankings.

So when you get to the fourth pick there is no actual difference between rank 25 and 32, and caster H would not get the same advantage that caster A got by picking 17 over 24. The disadvantage is even exacerbated by picking 1 over 8 (Serral vs Solar if we use aligulac)

Flipping the third draft makes it so caster H gains rank 8-9-17-32, and caster A 1-16-24-25.
Now:
1 is much better than 8
9 is better than 16
17 is slightly better than 24
25 and 32 are interchangeable in skill (Time and Spirit on aligulac)

So the sum of skills in the team is more even, with the same sum of ranks

This is how I see it, and it makes more sense to me. Hope it was clear enough!

excuse my language, but WTF is this roster, man, are you guys trying to upping WTL? Serral, Maru, Reynor, Clem. No Rogue or Dark should balance out the race, hopefully.

Awesome! Any idea what map all of you will be playing on? Is it one of those special maps that the Korean players had some bonkers FFA in? Like this one?

Okay, time to put on the draft expert hat, my guess on the draft order of round 1 would be, Serral > Reynor > Maru > Clem > HM > Trap > Zest > Cure. The exception would be if Rotti or Feardragon land the #1 pick because that would be Reynor or a Protoss off the board.

I don't think anyone is gonna pass Serral as #1 pick
Curious to see when the first Protoss is gonna get picked and if it's a Korean or MaxiPaxi

My Prediction is

Serral > Maru > Reynor > Zest > Solar > Clem > Cure > Trap

I could see Bunny, Heromarine, or MaxPax all going first round too.
