So you are telling me you are trying to make a tournament for masters, but conforming to the casuals?
Tournaments aren't supposed to be for everyone, they are supposed to be for the best to determine the best of the best, it's just that we allow unknowns to try to make a name for themselves. You don't see games like SC2, LoL, and FPS type games pick maps/gametypes that are popular in their respective communities and call it a "Masters tournament", they pick maps/gametypes that require the most skill for such tournaments.
And about archers blood tournament, if they want an AB tournament, than put it as a side map in here, or give it's own. Sam and I showed why that map is fundamentally broken for competitive play in tournaments (in AoC at least), and I guarantee someone will show it again.
You make very valid and strong points. And you would be right about everything if the blood community was not almost dead. If we were a thriving community with alot of players playing bloods. It would be a LAW to only host the Masters tournaments for the best of the best.
Lets face reality for a second. If we keep hosting only for the best we will keep hosting for only a few players in CS. And these players might not be here tomorrow. So the community should keep building on fresh blood, especially if we are almost dead. It makes no sense to host for the best of the best only in this situation. And plus the last Masters of Bloods was hard as hell.
And I want to remind you that not all maps are easy. This time it is a balanced list, while the last Masters of Bloods was more difficult(Spider and Dome as the main maps).
I think efkan covered it well. Anyway can we try and keep the thread free for sign ups, messaging me with any concerns or speaking to me when you see me online.
Archers blood though is a really queer map. Also majority play Turks in HF, but okay cool choices otherwise, will have to start praticing again after my exams.
If a castle that is under construction has 2 full sides being attacked by japanese post imp sherriffs, the castle dies faster than one ville can build.

And spider is not hard lol. I won my spider game >.<
Assuming both players maximize villager efficiency/lifespan the first person to attack is likely to lose in Huns. But ya considering its only a tiebreaker and may only appear once its not that big of an issue.

Fun fact:
If a castle that is under construction has 2 full sides being attacked by japanese post imp sherriffs, the castle dies faster than one ville can build.

And this comment shows how little you know about hero fest.
We say CBA players are noobs and bash them for never wanting to play other maps. Get out your comfort zone and play some new stuff.
