realtime portion of CL when??

@Saleen147 Lol yeah I misread it. I'm not opposed to changing to 2 max team slots per player because I don't think it really changes anything, people 3 slotting on team games is pretty rare. Rento's ideas for the change make sense. Protecting players from themselves is an accurate description, as 3 team slots in clan league sounds like an easy way to burnout.

I still stand my points raised about a 2 slot limit for division A regardless, if we ever wanted to think about reducing the max slots.

The deadline for template submissions was supposed to be September 30th. After talking to some people, I realised that many didn't even know we're in template submission phase. And the number of suggestions we've had so far is tragically low.

So we're pushing the deadline to October 12th. This is final.

Thanks for doing this Rento

It's apparent that there isn't much support for the superpromotion playoff idea. It makes sense. It's not an elegant solution, creates some new problems while doesn't solve the main problem that strong clans still need to spend a season in div C. And making divisions smaller will make div B stronger and more interesting even for the strongest clans.

The response to reducing boot times appears mixed as well, but mostly because different people have different ideas as to what the new boot time should be, but I think most people agree that it should be reduced in one way or the other.

And we're still looking for template suggestions!

If templates suggestions are compiled now - when is the plan to decide and announce templates :)

Looking forward to the new season and thanks for organising!

Dry-clean, the panel is already working on it :) It shouldn't take more than a couple more days to decide and announce them, I think.

The templates have been selected! Clan League 19 will be played on following templates:

1v1
Australia

French Brawl
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=38050523

Aseridith Islands

3v3
Deadman's Rome
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=39403316
Guntia Choice*
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=38799206
Guntia will be played on a modified version with only 1 Emergency Blockade card. We will provide an example game later.

The signups for CL19 will start very soon. We will create a new forum thread for that.

@Rento : given the community feedback, what has now become of the superpromotion idea? Is that still a thing?

I think not JK

Will Guntia be exactly the same but with one less EB Card or will there be other modifications ?

There won't be other modifications, only the EB card.

As for the improvements, we're abandoning the superpromotions and we're still discussing boot times.
The other 3 ideas are pretty much certain to be implemented.

Good work Rento and team

We would like to request futher feedback regarding boot times.

It was decided that 15d bank is too much and we're certainly not going back to that. If we can't agree on anything else then it will be 3 days base + 7 days banked across templates.

However there are LOTS of ideas about how to handle this precisely. For now these are the 2 main ideas that are floating around.

1. Reduce 1v1 banked time even futher. The suggestion here is 3d base + 3d bank.

There are voices that 3+7 is still too much for solo games where you don't need to coordinate with anyone.

2. Increase base time for team games to 4 days, reduce bank to 3 days. In other words, 4d base + 3d banked for teamgames.

Increased base time would supposedly give more breathing room for the 'real' teams with lots of teamwork and coordination and this is something that CL should probably encourage.

So please let me know what you think. If you have some other idea you can post it as well, ideally with some argumentation :)

I think both 1 and 2 are good hahaha

In 3v3 games, 90% of it comes down to picks. If I understand you correctly, the proposal is to reduce this from a max of 18 days to 7. That would have significantly impacted upon our team's ability to perform as we did in Div A on Magna last season.

3d turn time is fine, 4d is marginally better.

15d banked may be slightly excessive. 3d is punitive for those prepared to put the effort into the event and would skew in favour of old guard players who have played the template a million times.

I think that these are the important points:

1. Team play takes time, especially with 3 players from different timezones. Reducing the time to do this effectively is a move towards one lead and 1 or 2 puppets.

2. Team play is half of Clan League and the only place where it is played competitively in a community event.

3. Team play is important to create team spirit and also for player development (especially in the wider pyramid of the competition beyond the peak).

I am opposed to any change which diminishes the ability to do the above effectively. Reducing banked time would significantly diminish that ability.

1v1 3+3 is fine with me

2v2 should be somewhere between 1v1 & 3v3 - probably closer to 3v3.

I have to partially agree with Mr. Bodski ;)
7 days for a hard-to-pick 3v3 template could be too low. 4 base days sounds ok, and there could be 5, 6 or even 7 days buffered to cover distanced coordination and/or real life obstacles.
18 days was too much time and stalling occurred, 9-11 days might offer a better balance, right?

Why are we worried about the bank time when we are adding a day to the turn?
3 days is standard, here, ladders, everywhere. The world moves to a 3 day rhythm so I'd keep 3 days for moves.

Bank, decide what 1v1 needs and add a couple more days per person to coordinate with.
1v1 3+3
2v2 3+5
3v3 3+7

It still halves the bank and has some logic to it.

If you go
1v1 3+4
2v2 3+6
3v3 3+8
Still sound.

If you can't get picks in 11 days I guarantee you are not trying.

5. Max 2 teamslots per player.

Teamslots for team games or slots for all games?

As a clan that can only field up to 6 players, if we can't have 3 slots per player (3v3, 2v2, 1v1), we simply won't be able to field enough people and we will have to drop out.
