Tournament Discussion Thread

It does say "briefing" so it's really a call about if abhi's stuff during prep is counted or not

Well, Abhi's prep is.....interesting.

My prep can be done in seconds and its not that big anyway.

The exchange between Abhi and I has been pretty informal leading up to the match, and he had already told me his character before we started. If he hadn't though, and prep was allowed, a defending champ/defending character would have to contest not just against being counter-picked, but being counter-prepped.

...unless champs are meant to know their opponents as soon as a character is drafted. These rules are starting to blend together for me. If that was the case, both characters could effectively prep against the other, so I guess from a rules standpoint it could be fair.

But really, do we want to mess around with too much prep? Tourneys are moving away from that trend, and for good reason.

To be clear though, I'm not bringing this up to mess with this match, which, again, I think is fine. I just hope that more belt battles go through in the future and the rules should be as clear as possible so that can happen without rule confusion getting in the way.

Ditto to Smurph & Digi.

So what should I do? Remove prep?

Existere doesn't seem to care.

Let's not sweat the issue of whether or not prep is allowed. I'm happy to debunk the post as it stands.

I'll make my first response hopefully this afternoon, otherwise tonight or tomorrow morning.

As far as prep goes it's a five minute briefing about your opponent from Nick Fury. That's what I intended it to be originally.

Meaning, the rules should be clear on the use of prep, as it could be misleading.

I understood it as a 5 minute debrief. Not 5 minutes of actual preping.

With that said, Eradicator is a solid pick regardless of prep.

Called it.

Whoa, this is going for 14 days with no posting limit? What happened to our 10 post limit from before?

mmm

I probably can't keep up this pace of posting for the whole battlezone, but I'm also not convinced there's going to be much to talk about after a week. I guess we can continue like we're going and I'll follow up in this thread when I feel like I've exhausted most of what I have to say.

I can't keep this pace up too since I've some urgent personal matters in the next week and would be probably offline. Let's limit the posts to 10, shall we?

That's totally fine by me. I think it's worth noting though: Your post count is at 5, mine is at 3 (I'm about to raise that to 4)

lol, k. I also count my continued posts as one, because once we get over the posting limit and need to make a second post, it's, you know... a second post.

anyways, no posting limit it is. Like I said, I'll post here again when I feel I'm exhausting what I have to say.

I'll have the next post up hopefully tonight. I'm about to crack open a bottle of wine with roomies though so.... maybe tomorrow morning.

Cool with me bro.

And is nobody reading our match?

🙁

I am.

Me too..

And what's wrong with wiki Abhi? 😖hifty: lols
