I don't know how you could come that conclusion. A 100K player would be matched against low pp players first off but wouldn't get past the second round.blahpy wrote:
How fair is it gonna be if the final is like someone rank 100 vs someone rank 100,000 and the rank 100,000 get second place cause you didn't seed the players?
I would actually prefer it actually if you used words rather than just using insults. I still don't see the problem of arranging the tournament in a way that every player gets a fair match at the start while still retaining the competitive aspect. But it was just some suggestions to try and improve the tournament, I don't personally care that much and I'm not try and fight if everyone is against the idea.buny wrote:
I'd post a giant wall of text to explain the reasoning as to WHY seeding works how it is, but you're more dense than a block of lead, a feminist and a fat activist combined
The idea isn't for the lower ranked players to make it to finals (Why would this be the intention ever?). It's so they can have a more fair+enjoyable experience by playing against players of a more similar skill level, rather than being matched against high ranked players and having absolutely no hope and getting crushed. And it still has the benefits of seeding; the higher ranked players still play eachother at the end.buny wrote:
next time maybe have a double elimination from the start, the second round would have the lower ranked players in the loser bracket playing against each other. Wouldn't actually change anything though since none of them would make it to the finals
except a tournaments idea isn't to "have fun"Rewben2 wrote:

It's pretty pointless to discuss now, it's far too late to change anything now but I guess it can be changed for the next tournament.
All I'm saying is that the different idea for seeding better caters for the players who are playing to have fun (which I can almost safely say is the majority) while still maintaining the competitive aspect and having the top players play each other in the finals. Better for everyone. I didn't say or imply that fun is a priority and that the idea of a tournament isn't for competition anyways..buny wrote:

it's to play in a competitive nature.
please try get that into your thick head
also, stop complaining about the tournaments structure in this thread. It has already started and this is equivalent to bitching in hindsight. Save it for after it's finished

on a more related note: map pool seems to be progressing at a reasonable pace. It could have definitely started out a bit harder, though.

I was practicing some of the maps with your opponent this evening so he almost certainly intends to compete.Bauxe wrote:

I mean my first round opponent, where it is still listed on the tournament page that I haven't played.blahpy wrote:
