#3

Last time the account used was Fizzer himself, and with screenspics to show the board. I didn't play wl then, but imo this seems like the best way to organize things (if Fizzer are in ofc, if not we'd have to use another one). A shared account would easly be trolled/missused. Also the voting system used last time is also the best I think.

Edit: I'd also like to be on the panel, don't meet the requrierments though

I would suggest Dead Piggy to be the champ. Not sure if he has taken #1 on two ladders but imo he is currently the best Strategic 1v1 player by a long shot.

:)

At least he's taken first in both ladders, Sze ;)

@TWM and Hennns, priority will be given to those that have #1, but if we fail to find enough people (most likely), I'll put you guys in, since you guys have good ladder performances too.

@Arun: I have a few names in mind, and i'll see if any approaches this thread and signs up to be 'the player', if not i'll ask around.

@sze, gnuff: you want to be part of the panel? we probably need some good players to attract more attention for this event if its going to run.

I cant be trusted not to look at the thread where the world discusses its strategies, so unfortunately I will only be able to offer my services to "the world" team. My first recommendation is change the name of the team to "team piggy".

"best Strategic 1v1 player by a long shot


:)"

Im certainly the loudest.

At this rate there's going to be no one playing the world. Two of the five people I thought would make good champions have already implied they aren't going to do it... (Although I guess Sze didn't meet the requirements anyway..)

UPDATE.

Mannerheim/Odin of the |GG| clan has consented to be 'The player'. His #1 on the 1v1 ladder, his 2 month reign on the 2v2 ladder with Jupiter, his MVP performance on the clan league and his high standings on the last 20A tournament makes him a choice as good as any.

The Panel is still looking for players. I have sent out a few invitations also.

Templates are still being decided. I prefer 1v1 strategic but odin suggests new templates with more than 3 picks, thoughts?

Edited 4/20/2014 09:12:26

discussing potential strategies sounds fun

To specify - I prefer:

1) a luck factor of 16% or smaller
2) more than 3 picks because there is more skill needed to make a larger amount of good picks, however I'm content with 3 picks if needed

Otherwise I'm open for anything, though I think the settings and map should not be too unconventional.

I think it needs to be strategic 1v1 because it's a community thing and that's the most played template, so more people will have something decent to submit to the discussion.

Agreed. It's still the most widely accepted Strategic template.

I'm surprised, Arun. I thought the most accepted template was the Heavy Earth template? ;)

I wish!

UPDATE.

The Player

Odin (1v1 #1, 2v2 #1, Clan league MVP, 20A)

Waiting list
TWM (#2 1v1)
Hennns (#3 1v1)

signups still possible.

EDIT: Also what template? We've decided strat 1v1, but with 16% WR or 0% SR? The first is classic-y but 0% SR avoids confusion and makes everything less messy.

Edited 4/20/2014 16:22:11

This sounds like fun, can`t wait till it starts :D

Question though, how does luck make it messy? You can simply say that a attack failed and provide a screenshot. (Also, has Fizzer agreed on doing that again or not?)

I'm surprised not to see Sze on the panel, it he not doing it?

I would automatically opt for the standard 16% WR but since it not a best of 3 and failed attacks would make it more difficult I think I might go for 0% SR. It would be important to make it clear that they're not standard settings.

I think best option for luck settings is 0% but WR. It stil leaves the strategic decisions of choosing whether to hit 4v2 or 3v2 but it prevents anomalies such as 7v4 and 5v3 fails.

this is interesting... but wouldn't it be relatively easy for the player to just look at what move is most voted for and then counter that move?
Maybe im just confused lol

Ok, I'll join the panel, but mostly it's because I like the choice for The Player, I thought Mannerheim's playstyle was to an extent similar to mine :)

p.s. As long as I'm not the one that'd be responsible for making screenshots, writing on the threads etc.
