No, i'm not salty because we lost our game, the games were good and
fun. But can you please explain the how ALL THE BEST TEAMS play
against each other in First Phase Playoffs? "It makes no difference
since the best team always wins" -Berbo, after the last 14/140
tournament. Best team always wins and the other Top5 teams get
dropped and get 500 gold per player. This happened during
the previous tournament, the playoff brackets had ALL the group
winners in the same side of the bracket and ALL the 2nd place teams
on the other side. Best teams played against each other and got
like 5k-10k gold and what we all now as the second best team in the
whole server, -CSA- came and took 30k gold by beating the bobs and
in the final getting absolutely rekt against Holownicy.

In my opinion everything was just done worse, since there were supposed to be tiebreakers, well there weren't. Also there was a map called Cliff. It wasn't on the map pool before the tournament. Then the official report told us that it will be there as a tiebreaker map. Nothing else was told about it. WHY DO WE PLAY CLIFF THEN?!?! Never did you announce Cliff to be played anywhere, you just magically edited it into the map pool. You realize you've done something wrong by not adding it to the map pool, and then you only make it worse by adding it there mid-tournament without annoucing crap all.

The same way as its not fair that unicums play randoms against average players. Nice company you are WG. Nice that you learn from your mistakes and such and hopefully, if your IT tech can't make a balanced tournament with the same rules as the beginning of the tournament and the end of it, don't make this crap at all and make CW worthwhile again since there's no point in playing this crap if we don't get anything for being good, neither is there any sense to play CW since it has no prizes anymore at 19 or 20 CET timezones. Well I'm off to playing games that I like and I'm not good at. Was nice to write the same message again as half a year ago. As I already said, nice company you are. Maybe start doing something right soon?
Berbo: First of all, there are no "bobs" or whatever term (or
insulting name) you use to describe the players with lower skill
rating, let's call them casual players. Secondly, it's in the rules
we stated there will be no seeding in the first phase. So it's
explained. You may not like it but you had this info before you
signed up.

Berbo: It's interesting how you say nothing was fixed or nothing
was done better, simply rating everything in the tournament just
because of stronger teams meeting earlier. I disagree as so
many things were done better, but of course some things need
improving. What would happen if best teams finished 2nd and met
other strong teams, would that be wrong too? Cliff was originally
included but in big companies there is proofreading and
translations and map was removed, from the writing of the rules to
the point where you see them there are many different procedures.
When someone on the forum made a remark about it we added it. What
is wrong with adding it? It was fixed and now it's a problem? Do
you see the irony where nothing is correct? No cliff - it's all
bad, there's cliff it's all bad. Tiebreaker was
removed as we discovered issues with the system, it doesn't work
ideally with Standard mode. I'd rather remove the tiebreaker than
to have issues and disrupted games.

Berbo: In tournaments we give ABSOLUTELY no recognition or
unicorns, unicums or whateveryouwantocallit and "bobs". All players
are equal in the sense of treatment. If it's random split, it's
random. If there's a seeding it will be based on previous
participation, not your elo, win rate or anything related to
anything outside of your tournament play and lastly this is not a
CW tournament. A lot of your points make sense and we are
(slowly) working to improve it. Our system was super bad (old) last
year and this year we had tons of improvements. Seeding is a bit
complicated and we can only afford to make it for a very low amount
of teams. I want (seeding) more than you and to have everything
perfect but at the moment we're trying to make the best of out of
it with the resources available to us. If it's going to make
you feel any better, I'm sorry if my handling of this tournament
caused a bad experience for you, during the whole process of its
creation I gave my best but I see there's still a lot of things to
improve. Best,
