This guy is pretty smart. Not a lot is going to change for viewers, except it will be really funny when someone get dinged for saying something stupid. | ||

Being able to play multiple races in a single series nothing to look down upon or to obstruct with a ruleset. I've always been lead to understand a Bo3 is a match and each individual map is a set. That's how it always was on GomTV. Blizzard should really clarify. | ||

A Bo3 is a set of matches/maps. Think of it as a set of adorable tea cups. One cup does not make a set. | ||

Yeah it's exciting when players do unexpected things and say unexpected things and when they cross the line. I'm not surprised that such moments are a lot of fans' favorites. But I think keeping them taboo and keeping them infrequent contributes to their value. If players were disrespectful and whimsical during tournaments and during actual games with any amount of regularity, then it'd be a shit show. | ||

I'm pretty sure what they mean by the wording of that rule is that you must play as one race for an entire series, but can then switch races for your next series (match). Generally, a match refers to the overall BoX, whereas a game refers to each map played. | ||

During the game, players may not use chat except for a greeting, closing, and request for pause. so i think the typical stephano greeting would be allowed here as example. i not saw a single non related chat anyways who wasnt greeting or closing On December 21 2013 04:17 crappen wrote: Pretty lame ruleset, but that's what we get when a bunch of corporate fags are writing the rules.

There is one thing I have a huge problem with though: C. Disputes and Redress – Any disputes a player may have with the current operation of the league should first be addressed by email, telephone or in person to the tournament organizer. If the organizer does not provide an adequate response in a timely fashion, players and teams should contact Blizzard Entertainment at esportsteam@blizzard.com. This is a pretty horrible rule that definitely shouldn't exist and is obviously just a way to cover up mistakes and prevent bad publicity. They should just make sure the event is run correctly to prevent bad publicity rather than forcing players and teams to keep quiet at the cost of prize money. | ||

Think of it in terms of tennis for example; there are many games played, but only one match. Its the same with starcraft. Thats also why it says you have to tell the tournament organizer which race your going to play before map selection, which is what the early ban/pick phase is called before any games are played. | ||

It feels like the rules became really strict even though little has changed. | ||

Generally, a match refers to the overall BoX, whereas a game refers to each map played. I interpret match as a single game and a set as a group of matches, meaning a best of three is a set of 3 matches. Basically the way it's used in tennis. Definitely should be clarified if there's this much confusion. Edit: clarity | ||

Definitely should be clarified if there's this much confusion. I'm pretty sure "match" is interpreted as whatever amount of maps (sets) that make up a BoX. For example, a player may have a 65% win rate but a 72% match win rate, meaning that he wins 65% of the maps he plays but 72% of the matches (Best of X-series) that said player participates in. | ||

Then I've had it backwards for quite a while now. This explains my occasional confusion over some of the stats I've seen during tournaments. Thanks for clearing that up. | ||
