Do Barton and Price realise that they are ruining the hopes of the community to make this game a successful eSport? We are trying to be professional here and show the best that this game has to offer. Way to make any new viewers watching last night lose complete interest in the game.
FRP should stay. Closer the enemy FRP is the easier it is to arty with whatever you have at your disposal. People need to learn to time on-map arty with retreats tbh.
Winning with the strongest faction against the weakest faction in 1vs1 at the moment in a rather suboptimal map for Brits does not prove anything in this regard to be honest. Apart from the fact that they played a best-of-1 unlike in finals in usual tournaments.
I think the main problem with this current set-up is that players as well as viewers as waiting too long between matches. I started at 10pm and finished around 7:30am. That's a ridiculous amount of to put aside for a tournament. The same happened with the OCF tournament as well so it's not the Swiss format to blame. What should be done is set a 3-4 round limit per day. Either make the tourney last over 2 days or make it so that tournaments last ever 2 weeks. Opinions?
