Do BW =D. Or at least do something interesting for a format, like

Problem with that is that it's terribly annoying for organization. Imagine hopping on and off those games and trying to coordinate. T_T

It's not like hopping on SC2 and trying to communicate is at this point any better. If anything, communicating in a BW + SC2 format is easier than communicating in an SC2-only format imo.

Pardon me, but how does that make sense? Admittedly I have no experience with the iccup interface, but how is switching between games make it easier to communicate than just staying in SC2?

Because communicating in SC2 is ... horrendous? I dunno about your team, but I never knew the name of any of my opponents in CSL. I did, however, know which channel to hop into.

So you do all the communication in BW (channels), then go play SC2.

Or you use IRC or instant messaging and it makes no difference.

I voted for BW but honestly, if schools were dropping games because players were in <3 with the beta, I can only imagine what would happen if CSL tried to do another season of BW...

Unless a miracle happens and SC2 launch is pushed back!

I dont even like sc2, but csl should switch to attract more people and maybe sponsors.

i dont even know if i want to coordinate again if it's SC2 (which it will be ).

well ok I still will, but I'll have way less enthusiasm now that it has switched to a worse game.

When you consider that during SC2 beta, people weren't playing BW and had no practice for CSL, I think SC2 is definitely gonna be the more popular choice. Since beta, I don't think there's been a single week of CSL where I didn't hear someone from the other team talk about how rusty they are at BW from playing SC2. I'd think you'd also have a much bigger pool of players, so those borderline teams can more easily field a consistent team, and the teams that just didn't have enough players (hi Algonquin) have a higher chance of grabbing an extra player or 2 for SC2 that would otherwise not play BW.

The way I see it, lots of people that aren't going to play BW will play SC2, and the majority of people that would have played BW will make the switch to SC2

I'm not in CSL this coming season so what I think probably has less weight than current participants, but the way the entire foreign scene is shifting so heavily toward SC2, I don't see BW being played nearly as much

*waves with Purind* - you guys shoulda switched into the nursing program which is run by both Algonquin and UO..... Hot nurses + amazing SC awaits

On a more serious note, I think we got lucky..... We didn't succumb to problems with the beta, and I was able to consistently get our better players in the lineups as needed, including our best line possible against Duke, which happened to be the only time we were able to field that lineup..... I doubt it would be possible to run the next CSL in anything but SC2.....

I just thought of something to prevent problems with teams submitting lineups. It may be crazy, but hear me out.....

(modified) WINNERS LEAGUE FORMAT!!!!!

Only submission is the first player for either team. That way, no teams have an excuse for not submitting a proper lineup, or requiring a substitute. It'll be a lot simpler to run.

This may be bat-shit crazy, but I've been up for almost 30 hours now, and I'm not thinking straight anyways..... But yea.....

The current format leaves it up to the team with the best ace, plus at least 1 other player who can grab a win..... It's not that different..... Plus, if you know they have a really, really strong player, you can plan some sniping builds by weaker players to give yourself the best chance possible..... You only need it to work once, and you've got like 4 tries or so.....

yea exactly. everyone on my team would be so much less interested in it if it was winner's league format. it's really fun to have 1 matchup to work on all week and then show your results.

plus the skill gap between players in CSL is sooooo much bigger than in korean proleague most of the time. the skill difference ranges from D- to A- and pretty much just being 1 letter grade above another player means you will never ever ever ever lose to them.

we will definitely not use winners league format because the skill differential in some teams makes it not fun for competitive play. the schools that have a top level player will have a ridiculously unfair advantage over casual players.

think if you're just a school trying to play for fun, and your entire team keeps getting all killed by one player, it's not going to be fun for those teams.

ventrilo or mumble was the only way I could communicate during the beta. SC2 chat interface not worth the effort

I actually wouldn't mind seeing 2v2 return, seeing as how there's no Korean standard to follow anymore
