And chance that some of these matches (good player against good player in fisrt round is)

will be really big.

if im not wrong with my math (whitch im not going to describe here , it will took some place , if somebody will want that math then tell me i can tell you my thoughts , and you can correct me if im wrong.)

The chance is horrible 51,56027 % cca

And that is more than a lot

Now for the topic that interests me the most. What's the min/max time for a single match in everyone's opinion?

Thank you for answering the questions. Min/Max time for matches is really hard to predict. A match between evenly skilled players can go up to one hour or end after less than ten minutes. I'd say the average is ~20 minutes.

Can't we have the tournaments on Sunday start earlier? like 2:00 EST?

• Luvnest vs. Sprice in Round 1, one of these great players will be gone after the first game of the tourney.
  
  
• The hard bracket: After 3 Best-of-1 rounds, three of these four will be gone: Luvnest, Sprice, FaHu, HelpingHans.
  
  
• The top bracket (Jesulin, Vindicare) is much easier than the bottom bracket (Luvnest, Sprice, Hans, Cruzz, BartonPL).

I want to be excited about these events but not seeding them is just wack.

Quick question: What happens if a player is dropped from the server? I can't seem to find a rule about it.

Good games overall. The Best of 3 map/faction choice system is extremely shitty though. Basically losing the coin toss is a major disadvantage since your opponent can always counter pick.

So if you lose the coin toss in for the first game and lose the game, you basically get counterpicked twice which is not fair at all. Why not use the orignal set up where you change positions and faction in a BO3.

Btw, the fixed starting postitions still didn't have any additional information which was a shame. Apparently the guy with the map choice had to pick the side aswell.

Could you explain the starting positions a little bit more?

Fixed positions (Allies in lower slots 1 or 1/2, Axis in higher slots 2 or 3/4)
In Best-of-1 mirror matches you can un-tick fixed positions.

Until the rules are updated the mappick will choose his start aswell

There are 2 player 1v1 maps (like Kholodny Ferma, Faymonville Approach, etc) and 4 player 1v1 maps (Semoisky Winter, Crossing in the Woods, etc).

So if you have fixed starting positions you also have to tell the players where Allies or Axis factions have to start. Here is an example of how it used to be for the last major event, Operation Charlie Fox:



Your colleague ShadowDraft told me yesterday:

That would work aswell of course.

not always. I used to use these positions for the following maps

Kholodny Ferma (Axis Positions 1&2, Allies Positions 3&4)
Kholodny Ferma Winter (Axis Positions 1&2, Allies Positions 3&4)
Langreskaya (Axis Positions 1&2, Allies Positions 3&4)
