And, poweewee mentioned about one player wiping the other team is referred to as an "All-Kill". There is also a "Reverse All-Kill" where a team only has one player left who then does an All-Kill for a major comeback.

Anyway, this sounds fun and it certainly has worked out well for GomTV.

Exactly!

Although I'm not sure adding more constraints like fixed order all decided before the match improves anything? Unless there's logistics problems I'm not seeing. The core premise is you don't know who is coming next and the team leaders/members decide who to put up against the winner after each match as plans and strategies can change, etc. So basically the loser has a slight advantage of trying to put someone they think can take down the winner asap.

The other thing GSTL does is you can have a bench of players larger than 5 if you want. This keeps the other team is guessing who will come out to the very end. So basically your entire team is the 'player pool' but maybe in secret you know who the 5 actives are, but the opposing team does not know which 5 out of like 15 players you'd choose.

I agree. Here is what I said in an edit, but I'll just move it here now since people have commented since my last post.

As for suggestions, I think it would be good if teams can pick players as the match progresses. So in other words, if your clan lost the last game, you know who is playing next (the player on the opposing clan who just won) and you can try to strategically pick a player from your clan who you think can beat them. This is how it is done in GSTL anyway. Of course we don't have to imitate them exactly, but in this case I like they way they did it because it creates some strategic consideration for the clan who lost the previous game.

In other words I agree with Alex.

As for the joker system, it sounds interesting, but I'm not sure I understand how it will really fit into the organization. The issue is that in that case, the winner of the 2v2 match then chooses which player keeps playing in the 1v1? The other player in the 2v2 pair then sits out? I guess this is fine but I'm not sure I fancy the idea of 1v1 specialists having to play a 2v2 out of the blue. It doesn't allow 2v2 teams (like Mr.Banger and alexjiang1 or worldfamous' team) to really compete, just 1v1 players to play 2v2.
