Which are your favourite WZ competitions and why ?

This is (hopefully) a comprehensive list of all competitions currently available to anyone in a Clan. If I have missed anything, please comment and I will add it to the list.

Which are your top 3, and why ?

Clan League
Clan Wars
1v1 Ladder
2v2 Ladder
3v3 Ladder
Seasonal Ladder
Multi-Template Ladder
AWP World Tour
Titled Tuesdays
Duo Open League
Manager League
Nations Cup
Quickmatch

My top 3 would be as follows:

Clan League

This is the most prestigious Clan competition and where I cut my teeth learning how to play this game. I tend to prefer team games to individual ones, so this is a good fit for me.

Multi-Template Ladder

This is a great format across a wide range of templates where we get matched against players of a similar skill level. The pace is customisable to suit your availability and commitment from 2 games at once to 9 allowing relaxed play or something more intense.

Duo Open League

This may be falling by the wayside due to the coding requirements and the fact that most coders are very busy right now but it is a great format for team competitions with a partner.


Note:

My actual favourite is the HTL but that is internal to Harmony.

TT
Real-time event. Weekly steamed events used to be common years ago (eg WGL), but they faded into the background. It isn't something to be taken for granted, especially if it is streamed.

MTL
Uses a variety of established strategic templates. Uses a rating system that directly corresponds to skill. Plenty of boot time (3 days). Customisable games at a time, you don't get bombarded.

Seasonal ladder
New template every season. Uses a rating system that directly corresponds to skill. Easily available to anyone; is a built-in feature, doesn't require asking anyone to join. Unfortunately there's a low boot time (1 day 12 hours standard plus 1 day 12 hours banked iirc), which isn't ideal if you're away or busy IRL.

Any particular reason why Quickmatch isn't listed as a competition? You can compete with those in your country and on specific templates. Like 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 ladders, your rating doesn't actually correspond to skill.

1. CZ/SK League
My all-time favourite. As all of us know, results obtained against players with a different mother tongue than your own are meaningless and any such match-ups are highly irregular. All players should wake up and limit their engagament to their own kind. You picked a wrong mother tongue? Deal with it!

2. 1v2 Ladder
This innovative format, designed by (a typo of) ZeroBlindDragon many years ago, doesn't cease to amaze me. How can you maintain motivation of new players while still teaching them new strategic insights? Play against two of them at a time, and they will occasionally win. Ingenious!

3. Titled Tuesdays
I made that event, and what I make is superior by the law of nature. It's obscure that it would be included in a list of events which were all not made by me at all, but I'll take it. Still looking for a Deputy Organizer, by the way!

Bootcamp, Battle Royale, Resurgence

^ missing reasons lol

Dan, I don't really think of QM as a competition, but I'm happy to add it (added)

Alex, do those competitions still exist ?

Check open tournaments on tuesday at 4pm New York time and find out!

(As for the other two, CZ/SK League has been dead for years, and 1v2 Ladder has always been a joke)

Let's Fight - do those competitions still exist ?

Hello, It's not official yet but I'm organizing a new multi-stage tournament that includes the group stage (round robin) and the knockout stage, with a game for the third placed as well as the grand final.

Initially, we already have three Clans interested in participating. Lions, I. Turtles and Eagles.

If anyone wants to suggest a name, feel free, at first I thought of the following name:

KCT (King of Clans Tournament)

Below is an example of the tournament table:




This competition is a test for the new type of tournament that I am suggesting for Fizzer to make this happen at WZ:

If the tournament goes well, we will be able to include more players and consequently more games in the group stage

Clan war, because you can win without play,

Quickmatch are quick and funs,

And 3v3 ladder because it's the only remaining competition from your list that I play.

That's all I wanted to say.

I think it easily would've been MTL, Clan League and the Seasonal ladder a little while ago. But the lower boot times in the Seasonal seem to have pushed a decent amount of good players away, and I don't know if it's in the top 3 any longer. The competition just isn't there anymore.

I'd say the third is now between Nations Cup and AWP. Nations Cup is pretty fun, semi-serious, with loads of players in an interesting format. While the AWP is super consistent with loads of variation and to win the finals isn't an easy accomplishment.

Shout out to Titty Tuesdays. If it stays consistent, it can be the new high-level real-time competition that has been lost since WGL stopped.

It's curious how the strategic community tends to overdo boot times in one direction (3d + 18d banked) and Fizzer in the other (short Seasonal boot times). I find it so clear that the "truth" is somewhere in between. All was good when 3d was an accepted standard everywhere. Well...

Yes.

that comp graphic is insane

i hope it gets easier to keep track of, or join these tournaments, sometimes something is out of season, or already started, stopped a couple years ago, this or that
