Hopefully all rounds will be Bo3, unless a horde of people sign up. No seeds meaning no byes for seeded players this tournament? You will still have top players at spots in the bracket as so they do not meet in early rounds correct? | ||

Because in both tournaments seeded players have not shown up and "messed up" the brackets. | ||

I can understand not giving top seeds byes, but you should at least seed players properly based on their ladder positions so that the best players play against each other in the final rounds, not the earlier ones | ||

Also, the top of the ladder doesn't change very much in two weeks, leading to the same people getting rewards throughout the whole event cup... Perhaps this part is not really a problem though. Also also, our current points system slightly favors those who mass games to get points, rather than who is the 'best' on ladder. Also also also, as Xiphias points out, those who have been earning placement rewards have not been showing up. Maybe the better deal would be to seed next in line people if current seeds don't show up . | ||

I thought the whole point of these things was to promote people to play on the Eros client. I can understand not giving top seeds byes, but you should at least seed players properly based on their ladder positions so that the best players play against each other in the final rounds, not the earlier ones There will be seeding like this, but not seeding people into round X. | ||

There are arcade games which can save rankings and such, is there a reason this doesn't work for starbow? Yes I'm a complete noob when it comes to this. Matchmaking is the biggest reason, although the player base is too small right now to get enough benefit out of it. | ||

we want the reaper to be viable in all the stages of the game. current reaper bombs take forever to explode. so we will buff it. at the same time we want to add countermicro to it so that the opponent can target the bombs. | ||

It is probably impossible to do this with a map pool and also have matchmaking. | ||

I am not sure on what you mean but I give you a short description on what we imagine: Reaper bombs have a very short deronation time 3/4 seconds. The opposing player can now get out of the radius or choose to targetfire the bombs. Before we had like 10 detonation time and the opponent simply moved out of the radius. and when the bombs panded on buildings, sou couldnt do anything against the explosion. EDIT: we want the bombs to have to be targetted. They are not auto-attackable. | ||
