21+gmt weekdays and flexible weekends
just give me at least 48 hour notice

bo5 = first player to win 3 games

you pick the schemes played. higher ranked player picks first, then alternate. for example, last season's final between chelsea/gabriel had the schemes: jetpack race/bungee race/holy war/boom race/mole shopper. you can't pick the same scheme twice.

both guys have the first turn of the round at least once. That sort of makes up bad for positions. Not always tho.

Someone still gets an advantage of Going First twice.  Bo3 can't be considered the best solution.  There must be some way to lessen the advantage of Going First to make Bo1 Intermediate work.


Husk says "he started first, u r f@#!ed" and "u r gonna start that 2nd round, in 2nd round u might get a great chance for winning just because u started"  -->  Why isn't there discussion to fix this underlying issue of starting first?  What is the point of prolonging this issue in a Bo3?  Whoever starts first gets to start twice, so you just go back to your first line "he started first (twice), u r f@#!ed".

I repeat, there must be some way to fix this huge flaw in the scheme.  Not with Bo3.


edit: Shouldn't the focus be on figuring out how to make Bo1 Intermediate work, not necessarily just defending Bo3 because it's tradition?

I'm sorry, the whole foundation of Intermediate is driving me crazy the more I think about it.

How exactly does Bo3 even fix everything anyway?  Bo3 prolongs the same underlying issues over multiple games.  Has this ever been discussed before?

Worm Placement luck and First luck aren't even eliminated by Bo3.  Awful placements don't disappear just because of Bo3, they can still happen, multiple times in a row.  And going First doesn't just get cancelled out due to Bo3, because someone still gets an advantage of going First twice.


Am I the only one who doesn't understand this about Intermediate?  There has to be something to make Bo1 Intermediate work.  Because I fail to see how Bo3 is the best solution.  It can't be.

I'd play inter if I had to, to learn. but yea, at the current rate I think a lot people may never even attempt playing it just because how exclusive it is right now.

xD

mablak the lone worm, left for dead, saves the day

well maybe since this reaction is bigger than expected, TEL could return after a season of being disabled.

one thing I think is needed though is a change to how many people qualify for playoffs, so that some people aren't discouraged for never being able to play enough games and for other people not having their effort wasted if not enough people qualify ( currently 8 )

20 games minimum should be low enough, even for nino  and lower WIN% down to 40%+, some players are being left out that I think should be included with this change

if 8+ players have 20+ games  -->  TOP 8 playoff

if 4-7 people have 20+ games  -->  TOP 4 playoff

if 2-3 people have 20+ games  -->  TOP 2 playoff

lol gj franz, and COUGHmm, and yeh, more obvious acknowledgement of season winners would be nice, would promote competitiveness too

I've brought it up to MI recently, so it's definitely not forgotten.

we can do winner threads like these until we get a nice flashy way to show, like on front page   still, this also gives ppl a place to post about the season if they like
