The randomness factor is kind of lost, so might as well have had the 8 seeded players choose the entire groups from the start. Eh, then where's the incentive to win one season and play again the next other than simple bragging rights and a meager prize pool, if at all? It's a painful process for those that aren't getting ideal matchups, sure, but if you want a stagnant, nothing out of the ordinary tournament that has nothing new with a map pool featuring Fighting Spirit, Python, Destination, Circuit Breaker, etc. and just straight into a tournament bracket, you're not going to get it here. As a side, things like this are really why I didn't want to host Maroon anymore and am thinking about not even hosting a tournament anymore. I post a thread, describing all the information and dates and what's gonna happen throughout the tournament in the OP, and send out an invitation. Not only does no one read the thread and ask questions that are obviously answered in the thread, they seem to have problems regarding things such as dates or processes such as this, despite having it written in the OP. Problem isn't people not reading, it's the lack of cooperation. Eh, in the end, it's whatever. If you guys don't like the way it's done, feel free to forfeit. | ||

They were some of the most hilarious and entertaining events with people cajoling each other and trying desperately to avoid certain groups and asking for favours from teammates etc in their switches! Have to agree though, if you don't like the way the tourney is run, don't sign up or run your own when this shit was all clearly stated in the OP. | ||

I think we can all agree this isnt an ideal tournament, so why get riled up when people offer suggestions and critiques? Criticism without useful input is worthless, no one offered suggestions, people were just bitching about the player switching which was clearly stated in the OP. I don't think we can all agree on that, as far as I can tell RA has done his best to run this tournament to the guidelines set in the OP, despite people not showing up or otherwise causing issues and lacking read comprehension, and he has tried to accommodate players a lot. The only thing he has available to enforce playing outcomes is walkovers or delays to schedule, neither ideal. So I don't think that this has to do with taking on board suggestions or positive criticism for further seasons. If people can politely and helpfully provide feedback I'm sure he can work with that, but everyone complaining about a tourny when they're all sitting on their arse and not working to help with anything from scheduling to liquipedia is just a bunch of people being whiny bitches and not anything related to legitimate complaints | ||

People could be more constructive sure, but things like: "and if you don't like it, you're always free to fuck off" arent exactly helping anything either. | ||

By not ideal, I meant merely that every tourny can be improved Oh, that is very different. I thought be 'not ideal', you meant 'not good'. But then again, I tend to use not ideal as a euphemism for bad. | ||
