one of the goal of a rule is to promote egality, that s why all opponents are free to chose their race before playing a map. Tournament is here for represent players, not a single race Third openers stargate inc | ||

Let it get decided by a coinflip? Doesn't seem like egality | ||

Hope that they dont get extended by Blizzard, unless thats the only choice. If you wanna keep watching professional SC2 you better hope that deal gets extended. Without that 3 year deal with ESL the scene would already be dead. Not to mention, there's nobody around who'd do better. | ||

This tournament isn't run by ESL, they can use their own rules. | ||

Obviously I can't exactly blame them for not having in place perfect race-switching map picks rules, but it does seems like they are just churning out their events the same way for a few years without to much reflexing. Other organisers (TSL, Alpha X, WTL, TakeTV, Afreeca, ect..) are doing great thing though, so that's nice. Still I much, much, prefer ESL running us on auto-pilot rather than no one at all. | ||

Don t you remember Balloon ? | ||
