With every map being used twice for each player, and every player having equal P1/P2 matches, shouldn't each player have a P1 and a P2 match on each map? Wouldn't that make the most sense? Because currently that is not the case.

Currently that's the case.

P1 = Player ranked #1
P2= Player ranked #2
P3 = Player ranked #3

If you realize, for example, in round 2 (Glitch), Player ranked #1 plays as Player 1, while in round 14 he plays on Glitch as Player 2.

In round 2, Player ranked #8 plays as Player 2, while in round 14 he plays as.... Player 2.

Good to know that is your intention, but it is currently broken.

Ah yeah. I've just realized. I'll see if I can fix this. Thanks. This is why I posted these Rounds that soon. Though, if it's not possible to fix it, probably I should keep it as it is since it might be kind of balance when the same happens to another players. Let's see. I hope I can fix it

Remember to read the rules. Don't skim them. This is especially true for this tournament. It is a huge investment in time, and there are also specific requirements and prerequisites to sign up.

Hey CombatEX. These are some of the reasons I put these maps:

1. They have been played since the start of the game (so to speak). I mean, they are from 1st generation.

2. I didn't choose SFI because I consider it's a small map for such a "big" phase. Plus, LN and TG have more ways to beat your opponent (from my point of view).

3. I didn't choose "Peekaboo" because I prefer to prevent a crowded bombshell game where Scally will win. Of course, this all in my opinion.

4. IN LN and TG can be easily used specials if they want and it's not that disadvantageous if they want to get them early.

5. I didn't choose Glitch because I know there are a lot of "big" adorables players that would feel kind of uncomfortable that they have to play Glitch on that step pf the journey.

6. I didn't choose Foundry because it's a map that most of the time specials are overlooked. And we know specials give a hot touch in the game, obviously.

7. I didn't choose Reaper because it's been a very common map to define a big step in other tournaments. Plus it's smaller than the others chosen.

8. In these three chosen maps people could try whatever race they want. I've watched many replays and I've watched top players beating the others with some of the less favorite races.

Note: I could be wrong in some of these points but well those are ideas from my little experience in this game. But Thanks for the interest and idea

It is possible. If you find yourself having troubles remedying the issue I can provide the option that I worked out.

Just a suggestion about the maps in the Finals: don't worry about bias towards certain teams, but maybe switch it up every season. For example, this season there's Long Nine and TG, next season there's something else

It's a good suggestion. Why not.

News:

- the sentence "The P1 is the one who will tap "give up" this match." was added in the "tie = 1 point" section.

I kinda agree completely with CombatEX. As a feedback player here is my opinion regarding the points u made.

1. TG isn't part of first gen it was added when bramble was added. (Although don't see why this matters at all)
2. SFI is a small map, but for that doesnt mean there a many ways to win. I agree that the first few turns tend to be the same but I'd like to but this is just one example of how SFI can end up being http://osn.codepenguin.com/replays/view/...A8u3F8ggM. (Taken from 2014 world cup)
Also TG doesn't have a large amount of ways to win from a feedback point of view. Its either attack left, right or middle.
3. Agree with u completely
4. Scrambler is not just not useful on thorn gully.
5. This seems a bit on fair because I feel like most scallywag and feedback players would feel uncomfortable playing on thorn gully vs an adorable player.
6. I agree that specials aren't used often in foundry, imo games without specials and easily be more interesting then games with specials.
7. Honestly I wouldn't want to play on reaper, but I feel like the maps should be a combination of both small and large ones since the map size changes the game drastically.
8. In all maps (maybe w/ peekaboo exception) top players beat other top players despite having team disadvantage.
