In my opinion the maps are a bit too difficult for a first round, but with the quality of the players on some of the teams it might not matter.

First round pool is fine, just inconsistent. HR picks are a bit harder than the rest of the pool and that's about it. The HD picks are really good though imo and I like the wild card maps like Magnolia & Move That Body in there.Azer wrote:
Out of curiosity what would you guys think of moving the round 1 pool to round 2 and making one thats slightly easier for the first round?
Just gathering opinions, nothing official yet or anything.
Also just wondering:
-Can we ban maps
-How are you seeding teams
80% of all the teams can at least FC 60% of all the maps. So that should be good, imo.you are pretty wrote:

Imo, for a Round one it's pretty tough and maybe even too difficult here and there (keep in mind that all teams together have a avg of 4844pp, which is roughly in the area where you can FC 170 pp* maps easily, 190 pp* maps with maybe some tries and 220 pp* maps with more focus). Iam not quite sure what kind of diffs you guys would want to put for the future rounds. I mean, we're currently at 5.0 - 5.4 Star diff maps. What are we supposed to play in Round 2, 3 etc? Would the Final include 6.5 diff maps? There arent too many good and fitting maps out there.Azer wrote:

They are easier.Tshemmp wrote:
Wait, the new HR Maps are supposed to be easier? For some reason I find them way harder than the previous ones, is that just me?

Wont happen. If Seed 32 would win against Seed 18 for example, Seed 32 would still be #rekt in the next match, when they play against Seed 4 or whatever[AirCoN] wrote:

With your system there would be NO interesting games. A seeding system like this is meant to ensure that the teams that deserve to get into the next round do, while creating heated contests among the teams that are in the middle of the pack. Obviously first seed should pretty much always be expected to go through barring a miracle or freak occurrence. But now the games that are most interesting are #16 v. #17, #15 v. #18, etc., and part of the exciting thing is to see how far up the chain the matches will be close, like whether or not a #21 will be able to upset a #12, or a #25 upset a #8. With the system you propose, all teams that are higher seeded should always advance, since there is a considerable skill gap in every single match.Tshemmp wrote:

+ That would mean the final would be THEORICALLY #1 vs #16. I guess nobody wants that. Of course the first round wouldn't be the most interesting with my system but ALL the other rounds would be interesting.CptHampton wrote:

This live drawings will happen. "Top-seed1" just mean that a top-seeded hold this place. It will determine who will be put against who on later rounds.mayank0 wrote:

So that is what it means. Thanks for pointing that out.-Ryosuke wrote:

So if you revive then your score will be counted? Or do you mean reviving still does not validate the score?-Ryosuke wrote:
If a player fails the map, his score will be nullified and reviving does not nullify his score.
