2 weeks not playing and my macro has gone to shit again. Argh.

[Claus]

[Papa Zito]

Do I get to 2v2 with Fate?

[Nuwen]

[Quagmire]

I'm in for 2v2.

I feel sorry for the poor sap that has me as a teammate.

If we have enough, I don't see why we can't have a 2v2 league and a 1v1 league (I just despise 2v2, and 3v3, and 4v4...)

Eight seems like a good number. Not sure how to do the league itself. Was thinking about doing an 'everybody plays everybody' season style to figure out seeding for a tourney, thoughts?

[UltimaAvalon]

I think either Pool Play or a Ladder would be fine

[Flameaxe]

I like pool over ladder, personally.

[tanstalas]

I want in, damnit

Can I be on PZ's team? I need a hard carry

[Flameaxe]

I just started editing 259 instead of copying and adding to the list, its easier.

[Flameaxe]

Alright, part bump, part wanting input. Talking with JD about how to format it all, and we have two options:
-One giant round robin where everyone plays everyone once, leading to a seeded 8p single elimination bracket.
-Two smaller "division" round robins of 4/5 players, where the top two of each division moves on to a 4p single elimination bracket.

It basically boils down to the commitment of playing on the upwards of (minimum) 8/9 games vs. playing a minimum of 3/4 games. Obviously, organizing times to play against 4 people is a lot easier than 8.

As for smaller details, the bracket stages will most likely be a best of three, map 1 chosen by the higher seed, map 2 by the lower seed, map three randomly generated? We can do that or give each player two map vetoes from the list of 1v1 maps and figure it out from there. We'll use the standard set of 1v1 maps used in ladder play (Jungle Basin, Scrap Station, Steppes of

Cheese

War, Xel'Naga Caverns, Delta Quadrant, Lost Temple, Metalopolis).

I was going to mention something else, but I can't remember.

[tanstalas]

uhh /out

I thought it was gonna be like a 1 game thing here and there, you are making it all official and stuff

[Flameaxe]

NO. It's just casually official. Promise.

would ++ the whole map veto then random thing if 1 veto as opposed to 2

would we have any rules on races/changing thereof in any bo3 or the like?

this isn't to exclude people playing with each other casually - it's to create a competitive tournament for those interested

[Flameaxe]

It's casually competitive. I'm fine with 1 veto, actually. Don't know why I said two, so ignore me. I'll leave it up to you guys for changing races.

[TheButtonmen]

Kiwikaki vs Morrow Game 3 from the round of eight in SCReddit Invitational needs to be watched by all of you!

[SaintKerrigan]

Are we allowed to suggest non-Blizzard melee maps?

If so, then iCCup God's Garden is a map I greatly enjoy playing on (plus I think it's better balanced than a good number of the Blizzard 2v2 maps).

[Flameaxe]

I have no issues with it.

We'll lose beautifully.
