Is random a race? Cause i've never seen Random during registration.

Its either, chinese, Malay, Indian or Dan Lain-Lain.

kekekeke...

I don't think race change is a problem, though its pretty silly to do random in a 1v1. But perhaps i'll give you a bonus if you win the tourney with Random.

the 1st match of the tourney is BO1 or BO3?

For both tournaments, its Single Elimination, BO3 all the way.

Map selection is via veto. The process for the map veto is in the R&R.

yes random is a proper race, yes people has and can win with random. yes there are pros and cons in playing random.

A player should register his race and stick to it throughout the tourney.some races have grave advantages on diff maps

Yes, I support this !

If you think a map is advantages to a particular race, remove it via veto, the reason that format is there is to have as many map choices as possible without comprimising all players ability to win. You must understand that the maps arent fixed and the veto is there for a reason.

Games are also best of 3. If you happen to choose 3 maps that is advantageous to your opponent, that isnt a format flaw, it is your inexperience to choose the right maps.

Please think before posting these things and read the rules and reg before posting about something that is already in it.

@ ^

rules dont state whether changing races in between maps is allowed or not if allowed i dont see the point in the veto system since we can pick races that might have advantages on certain maps eg. i win first round he picks Lost Temple i go yay terren( plz dont bring balance in here im just giving an example) . If not then races are chosen and locked before map veto i dont see the point in allowing us to race switch cuz the only factor here that would enduce one to race switch is that he looks at ur current race and thinks he could do better with another? and in turn u might race switch also because he did?

I dont know i dont think that works, GSL uses the 1 race rules

Or u could go for the MLG rule set

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessag...topic_id=141054

Where the only the loser gets to race pick but and their races are not revealed on the brackets only when they meet. but this set is to much of a hassle to inforce and its made for an online tourney

I stand that races should be locked


ps:blind pick of races in the MLG format means that player A and B PICKS thier races but is unknow to each other till until the meet ingame but thier races are still locked. the only time they can change is when they lose. but only the loser may change

GSL RULESET (64 PLAYER PRELIM)

- Maps: 1set : Metalopolis 2set: Scrap Station 3set: Xel'Naga Caverns
This is why they race lock. Maps are locked.
Also, 64 player tournaments are not easy to run, simplifying to lock the maps and races are understandable.


4. Race Selection
A player may switch their race at any point during the tournament

Seriously. ITS EVEN ITS OWN TOPIC.

Howdy all,

As of 15th October 2010, Merely days after the tournament's opening, the 32 of 32 player slots for the 1v1 Tournament is filled, with 3 (originally 5 - removed 2 due to duplicated applications) players on the waiting list.

The waiting list limit for 1v1 is set at 16. (3 of 16)

The 2v2 Tournament currently has 10 of 16 slots filled. Do remember that you may participate in both tournaments as the events are separate.

Also, if you do not have your own account, blitzone will provide you one (depending on the availability) on the event day.

So send in your registrations ASAP before time runs out!

Regards,

I know that in the RnR, what query still stands CAN I CHANGE my race after maps are vetoed?

IF YES!! then whats the point if the Veto when someone can just play races specific to a map??

eg.Player A and B Vetoed down to B.sands/Lost temple and scrap sation. First map is Scrapstation so player A goes Zerg he wins and B choses Lost Temple as 2nd map player A proceeds to chose Terran.<< IMO whats the poing of veto

IF NO!! if not then why not just have a fixed race?since the only time we can change is BEFORE maps are vetoed.

and i dont see the point in allowing race change.

PS:WOWOOWOWOW 32 LIAO!!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

Geez, why are you so afraid of people changing races prior to a match?
What are you really afraid of? People countering you prior to a match or people countering you in a match?

The point of VETO is to remove a map you dont like. Dont like doesnt mean you cant win. You just dont like the map.

In a competitive sense, it shouldnt matter, because it will still boil down to your individual skill. If its hard, its because you're going against someone who knows the map and his race well.

You see, if you lock the races AND the maps AND if your theory that maps are imba towards certain races then zerg/terran/toss will ALWAYS win certain maps, which in turn mean that one particular race will ALWAYS lose a certain map, which also means that if I as the organizer choose 3 maps on my own and they are all "imba" to zerg - your theory also means that everyone will take zerg and everyone will win? How does that work?


Also :

4. Race Selection
A player may switch their race at any point during the tournament

Yes, this means he can swap his race just before the timer hits 3 seconds and turns himself miraculously from a Dan Lain-Lain into a Chinese man. Pun intended.

oh god save me falk.

No PC at home and I didnt feel like typing out a long-winded reply on my mobile device.

Hi there!

Yes, you may still register, but you will be put on the waiting list for 1v1. The list isnt long, so dont hesitate to register first.

any 2v2 slot available?

Registered! If you don't mind me asking, how long is the waiting list?

2 more slots available

Added on October 21, 2010, 4:45 pmHi jacky, the list is now on its 8 of 16 in waiting.

Added on October 25, 2010, 3:12 pmHi ladies!

As of today, the 1v1 registrations are full, with 1 player pulling out. That means with the current registration, a player from the waiting list will replace him.

Also, there are still 3 slots for the 2v2.

Cheers!
