I have a question: isn't the system of this tournament pretty much the system that Tardet got a huge amount of crap for?
Ask a real question if you want a real answer. You mean GSL groups into KO stage? Because that's pretty standard AFAIK.
@Menethil, Apollo etc -
BoB had 5 man rosters. If you dropped a man that was it you were out of the tournament. Its a poor comparison.
This is a competitive tournament, its up to players if they want to risk playing if they have unstable internet.
The point of the rule is twofold. First to replace the previous rule which was stupidly open to abuse. Teams that want to change class set up just pull the router and swap out. Rules for a competitive tournament cannot be open to abuse so easily because it punishes teams that dont abuse the rules. Playing the game with **** internet his inherently unfair on yourself, you can't expect admins to legislate based on it when doing so opens up tons of abuseable loop holes. The second point was to force teams to make meaningful choices in class composition, want two cav for Swadia and 1 for Nords? Well you have to plan your roster accordingly. It places an empthasis on player flexibility and composition choices which I think will be beneficial.
