Within the Americas Region we have 5 network parsers: US East, US West, US Central, South America and Australia. How do we setup a game tournament in this region while being fair with the players at the same time? The answer is simple: add a "host" requirement to seed system. This is how it will work: During the bracket setup each player will be assigned a seed - the grey number that you can see on the bracket - this one will not only define the veto but also who hosts the game. The Player A currently starts the veto process. So in a Best of 3 we'll have something like this: Veto: Player A veto the first map; Player B veto the second map; Player A veto the third map; Player B veto the fourth map. Picks: Player A picks the first map; Player B picks the second map; the remaining map is set as the last one. This is also known as ABAB ABC. The host will be the inverse of the map picks. Since Player A is randomly getting the advantage of picking a map, the player B will be in charge of hosting the first and the third maps. Example: Vetoed maps:
Pick:
And this is the important part: When you host, do not stay in a party with your opponent. Just create the lobby, right click his name on the chat and hit "invite to game". | ||

So with this system I still could be screwed over. While better for bo3, but bo1 is just bad regardless. And I know our conversation about SEA players not having much, but still these arent even SEA players even picking these servers. And still doesn't really address the issue of trolls in NA wanting to play the Aus server for just the sake of playing of it. Since that has happened in a different cup already. However the decision goes, I do appreciate you taking the time to look into this and at least declare something. | ||

Also I would like to leave a note about the change in the preferential server to be used during the tournament. The 1st post on this thread and the main page on ESL now contain the new rules about which game server players should play on. | ||
