Maybe we could just vote a template like 2seasons ago if no split doesn't work. That season is already pretty much fucked up.

yeah. Fizzer let us pick a new template!!!!

Nooo! More fun when the seasonal is a new or not commonly played template :)

for me it's the opposite.
I don't see the point of play a seasonal ladder (that is supposed to be competitive) with a non-common template.
In fact i played the only 3 season that had a classic template:
season 8: 1v1 ME with randomize bonus
season 14: guiroma
season 15: sze poland.

Play a season with new template = who have more time to make practice with new template will win.
In fact every time a new season start with a weird/uncommon template, you can see a dozen of open games with new seasonal template.

The only thing that can't be practicised would be randomized bonuses so far. And i REALLY like that concept

agree with darkpie. Fizzer makes more interesting picks than the people.

This thing should be reset though.

So its better to use a common template where some people have 1000's of games vs others who dont play as much and might have 1 or 2 games on that template? 1000 games vs 2 games? Do you think when a new template is introduced people make 1000 practice games? Also a lot of the seasonal vets dont practice at all. They prefer to go in to the complete unknown and just wing it.

well yeah.
I think most of us enjoyed randomize bonus.
I think you don't need to practice it. make 0 sense. You just to be very good. Play more games will not help you to play better.

When we picked a well know template, like guiroma, nobody have any ahead. We all know how to play.
Only you are bad at it. That's fun, isn't it? you should have ahead on that template ;)

When LD is get introduce, i remember few players say they played more than 100 games in the early of season. That's is what is really bad. Who have more times to practice, will win!
Also, if you practice it, you will get bored soon when you have to play seasonal games.
In season 8 14 i didn't played any practice games, and just 2 in sze poland agaisnt krzychu. I stopped to play practice games in season 15 for 2 reason:
-is boring
-wasn't very useful

However, look at season 8 and 14. Most of players, were very happy about it.

You mean the small group of players you usually play games with? :P

Guiroma season was my first time playing that template.

My 1st time playing it too.

Like i told you in skype, that's bc you are new at WL.
We played 11 times in WGL, +there was many open games already before season.

I don't think the Group was small. :)

Apart i played less than 100 games in guiroma 1v1, didn't you tested the template you made?

"When we picked a well know template, like guiroma, nobody have any ahead." so obviously bullshit. How can you write something so incorrect and not realise it? Are you trying to drum up support for an idea which benefits you, even though you know its bad?

Apart i don't play bad template :P but only strategic, i think a randomize bonus in a well know template would be the best for next season.

Split is still enabled.

It is not anymore just so everyone knows, splitorders just turns into 0 transfers if you try it in the ongoing games.

I forgot gui is my alt so i created that boring template. My bad.

The top seasonal ladder players are the players that can adapt quickly to new unique templates. Not much of an accomplishment to just jump into the seasons using templates you have more experience with than everyone else.

so why you don't adapted to guiroma?
you were embarrassing in the 5 games we played. After picks 4 of them were already over.

I didnt want to play them simple as that.

How did we go from the seasonal ladder to my (edit:lack of) ability to play a template i hate?

Edited 8/12/2014 09:35:36

So what is going on with the current games? I have not joined any yet, will they be played?

"Play more games will not help you to play better."

Can I see your very first game? It should be of similar play to your last 10 games, right?
