Mappack is coming soon!

This week LB will be using previous one or above?

Ro32 (Round of 32) with Losers Bracket Round 1 to 3 will be BO7 (Best-Of-7): first team to achieve 4 points will win the match.

I assumed the bo7 format for Losers Round 3 implied that the round 1 mappool would be used. However, looking at Challonge, it says that Losers Round 3 is a bo9 format, going against what is listed in the rules.

pooptartsonas wrote:

So first of all, which is it, and second of all, how does one determine which mappool will be played for each losers bracket match? I figured it would follow a similar format to NAT (see: http://puu.sh/ivVZR/7b06262c9f.png) but the second round was played with the round 1 mappool. Sorry if I'm missing something but I can't seem to find this information.

Why can't we reschedule our matches? We have to play too early for the third time (have to work at weekends). Is this really a big problem?...

You can't select a map that was used in another tournament? that's a stupid rule.

It's not a rule. It's just something the mappool selectors challenged themselves with.
They don't want the players to think: "Oh, it's the same maps again", that's all

THIS is ranked.Ranking Criteria don't prevent ranking key-sound maps.
And in all, MOST players would choose to play maps with hitsound (including most expert players), so I really don't see the necessity. And if you insist on playing without hitsounds, you can still add this as an exception and play other maps unhitsounded.

Playing the same maps in every tournament was getting stale, OWC is especially bad at this.

Because you can?

Wilchq wrote:

Uh, I heard from our teammates, that YOU don't want to reschedule matches (we were playing with germans, same timezone and shity hour). So maybe we can't?

-Ryosuke wrote:

For All-Star to run perfectly, you can't reschedule your match another day than the day assigned in the schedule and if you were to reschedule, just make it MAXIMUM 2 hour earlier or later the original match's time. Deadline is thursday 11:59PM UTC+0

In all honesty, i don't think picking same maps will lead it to become "stale". Most ranked picks aren't going to be a full off copy from another tournament, and everyday there are new maps getting ranked. I also don't understand why people must view as a boring, same old map instead of a map that they have played before and definitely have confidence in doing.

pooptartsonas wrote:

Maybe I'm missing something you added, but I still don't see anything in the rules about which mappool is played when? I don't mean to be obnoxious about it or anything but I want to make sure I'm practicing the right mappool.

Doesn't making the loser bracket teams play two different really expansive mappools in the same weekend seem a bit heavy?

I hereby submit a request for
SAVE THE QUEEN - EX-Termination
to be removed from the mappool.

This is not about taste anymore (it has never been), the maps for a tournament have some agreed rules and a map which has 1 (one) part that is 10x harder than the rest is unacceptable.
Another failure is a 500~ ish combo ZABABA map.
Apart from that, the difficulty spread is extremely diversed. I know you can't make all the maps equally difficult, but for god's sake, find me a player who thinks that SWITCHED-ON LOTUS (5yo map with 15 FCs in history) is easier to FC (WHICH IS A PRIORITY IN A TOURNAMENT) than, let's say, Recommended Spell.
I'm inclined to think this is just pickers trolling and laughing behind the scenes now.

Not like anyone will FC Reanimate during the match because of that one 1/8-slider-jump part. It's pure random whether someone FCs that part or not.

Don't make switched on lotus ar9 that's so disgusting. I'm offended at the idea, replace the map or keep ar8.

Reanimate is also quite a shitty pick, 1/8 slider jumps are actually a lot about luck imo.

if you are interested
