A new rule we are implementing for the round of 16 and onward is that teams will have a total of 5 minutes to pick and ready up between maps or else the lobby will be forced start. If the team has not picked a map within that 5 minutes, then that team will auto-lose a point and the pick will go to the opposing team.
We are doing this because we want to stream as many matches as we can in the round of 16 and cannot have games dragging out and lasting longer than they are suppose to. Make sure your team has your picks and bans ready before each match and know what players are going to be swapped for certain maps that way you do not end up in a situation where we have to force start a match or lose a point because you were unprepared.
Feel free to discuss and if you have any questions I will do my best to answer them all.
In my opinion 5 min is still too long.
As team captain you should discuss these picks and bans with your teammates
before the actual match started.
Of course, sometimes things do not goes as you wanted like your picks getting banned.
But you are prepared for that and should have some ideas to counter this, right? (
right??????)
My longest waiting time was around 13min but that was due miscommunication, thus leading to my second longest waiting time 8 min.
It is not that I want it picked within 1min, but I'd like to lower it to 3:30min or somewhat there.
