Bracket is up - make your predictions now!

Stream via twitch or anything in specific, sorry I just want to make sure I do things correct.  Cubit it appears I'm paired against you, when are you avail, I won't have much time the rest of the day, however, tomorrow evening after 7PM CST should be good.

Kingmorgan, I'm replying in the meetup thread.

We've had a training session with DeathTacticus and came up with an idea (well, he did): each player should have a right to ask to change the map once per match (sometime early probably, before sol 2 or something). That would help avoid those situations when a game is just lost on found for one side. I think it's a decent suggestion, shouldn't be too hard to rehost a game twice per match (at most)

Well, the idea is that it happens early, within the first few hours preferably. It's not necessarily fair if a player loses the game if he was just a few seconds too late to click on the only usable spot on the map

I hate the idea of doing a do over. A huge part of 1v1 matches is chosing to take on the right amount of debt. Founding at the right time. If you make a good decision why should you not be rewarded for it?

Mewh the idea was that you can vote a map away every Round of Games but you must do so before the debt timer goes to 0. I just played with Yerand 6 games and 2 other games(maps) where we both agreed we would skip the map before the timer ran out because thoses maps were just terrible. Like only low iron/carb and not even a good patch for a scientific.

Soren knows the map codes. How about for the sake of fairness the maps we use are selected and constant for all?

ok, I locked the predictions, so feel free to start your games!

Small maps are sometimes already terrible :/

I shouldn't call people out since I had no confidence in myself for my own prediction, but I guess I really have something left to prove still

Do we have a deadline to get our first round matches in? TheSpinCycle was telling me the weekend would work much better for him.

I'd hope that we can get to the second-round by this weekend, but if people really need to stretch it, could you please find time to do it Friday night?
