There is the french cast of the showmatch: Enjoy

Hello to you guys, After having organized the showmatch this Saturday, we wanted above all to thank you for being so present, and for helping us to make this project a reality. We already had feedback from players and few viewers, but we would like to get as much feedback as possible.The goal will be to continue in the same way and to be able to organize tournaments (and maybe more) with the best format we can provide I'll post the YouTube link from the French cast of the Showmatch later. Thank you in advance

Btw we add a new rule for that showmatch. bans in game 2 can’t be the same as game 1 to allow more diversity and maybe more tactics for game 3, bans are resetIf you have any questions don't hesitate. You can participate by sending golds, items like mystic coins, ecto, stuff we can sell. A part will reward players, the other will be used for giveaways!!You can go on mightyteapot, grochaton, viking_wiolet, or reganliveshow twitch channel when they are live, and send them. Have a good day

yes bans are global, Thank you very much :) I don't agree about bans stopping tactics. Actually do you think in previous metas you could see more tactics or strategies than it was few years ago? Imo, drafts allows more strategies by the fact you can try to counter opponent's comp, and event to adapt a tactic against the opposite comp. Just my opinion, that's why i want to offer that content, and we'll see the feedback :)And also i don't hate at all the cancer comps.. Remind.. I'm French :)

If you are interested in participating in jackpot, don't hesitate to send golds IG. You can also send items that can be sold to increase jackpot. You can also send mystic coins, T6 Craft, legendaries etc.. so we can organize more giveaways than we planned.Streams are starting at 20h15 CET. Games will start at 20h30 CET. See you soon.

Hello everyone, My Name is Grochaton. As you may have been following on my stream this Tuesday, we (Waffle, Regan, Tenebrae and myself) will try to implement a new concept within PvP, in order to bring a new content, which unfortunately is actually missing. This concept is a little modeled on the MOBAs, and consists of the introduction of a draft system with specializations Bans and Picks. For this we are going to organize this Saturday December 12, a Showmatch between team “Lakerz” and team “Celestial Bonk” (known also as Quarantined Crusaders). To answer some questions that we were asked, that showmatch is a first test to see if players enjoy this format and if it is renewable as tournaments, or even other events such leagues etc ..This is why we haven’t yet wanted to organize tournaments or involve more teams that can be as excited as we are by creating such content. We are therefore waiting for the first feedback, and we want to take the time to organize things correctly, and to allow the different projects to be done little by little for something, if possible, durable over time. The Showmatch will be played as a Bo3. We will test 2 draft formulas during this Bo3: For Games 1 & 2: 2 Specialization Bans per team, in turn starting with the blue team, then phase of selection of specializations in this order: 1 Selection Blue, 2 Red, 2 Blue, 2 Red, 2 Blue, 1 Red. For Game 3: 3 bans divided into 2 phases2 Specialization Bans per team, in turn starting with the blue team, then phase of selection of specializations in this order: 1 Blue Selection, 2 Reds, 2 Blue, 1 Red.1 Specialization ban per team starting with the Red team, then phase of selection of specializations in this order: 1 Red Selection, 2 Blue, 1 Red. Regarding the rules: 1 Specialization authorized per team. Teams can select the same specializations (eg Druid in each team)Teams can only ban one specialization per class. Bans in Game 2 can’t be the same as Game 1. For Game 3, bans are reset.30 Sec for each Ban or PickRotation of Maps: Forest of Niflhel, Legacy of Foefire, Battle of Khylo (subject to change)For Game 1, Toss will decide the side of each team. For next games, the losing team then chooses its side.Rewards: 200 Golds minimum for each player of the winning team100 Golds minimum for each player of the losing teamA jackpot will be made on the different streams to increase the rewards but also to be able to perform giveaways on the streamsThe event will be Streamed and Cast: EN: https://twitch.tv/mightyteapot provided by Mighty Teapot himselfFR: https://twitch.tv/grochaton provided by Waffle, Viking, Regan and Tenebrae. We are hoping to see you on Saturday December 12 to share this event with you. We will give you a little later the links of the different streams that will set up the pot. You can send golds, items that will be sold into Black Lion Trading Company, or even Legendaries etc… See you soon.

Actually the real problem isn't the number of team qualified into final Brackets. It's more how many rounds there are regarding the number of teams participating. I worked a lot with Swiss system in some tournaments, i know it very well, and The purpose of this system is to get at the end 1 team that haven't lost any single games. Or you can have around few teams (most of the time 5-6) with 1 loss.But you can't have at the end of "qualifying phase", like it was the case, 2 teams with no loss. During the mAT, you had 5 rounds, around 56 teams, and at the end there were 2 teams with 5 wins-0 losses, and around 9 teams with 4-1. When you play Swiss system, the number of rounds depends on number of teams engaged: 0-2 teams: 1 round.3-4: 2 rounds5-8: 3 rounds (sometimes until 8 teams, some games make play each team angainst each other)9-16: 4 rounds17-32: 5 rounds 33-64: 6 rounds65-128: 7 rounds etc... So with 56 teams, each one has to play 6 games for "qualifying phase". At the end of that phase, you should get 1 team with 6-0, 5 or 6 with 5-1, and 13 or 14 with 4-2 ( the one or two bests qualified for Final Brackets). And after that it should have been TOP 8 teams qualified for team with 6-0 (The number of teams into TOP depends as well on how many teams are engaged).Most of the time, to define the number of teams qualified into the final brackets you take 12,5% or 25% of the teams that are engaged. ( depends on how many teams engaged, most of the time 25%+ for for 32 teams or less, and 12.5%+ for 33 teams or more) Swiss is the most fair system actually, but you have to play "qualifyng phase" fully during mAT if you want people to do not complain. This is the most fair system, because the tie-breaking is calculated according the opponents you faced, AND it's logically calculated according the opponen'ts of the opponent's you faced.But if you cut the number of rounds, it won't be fair anymore, because some teams that can get a better tie-break with the last game to go to Final bracket, won't be able to go through. And they'll keep a bad tie-breaking, that can be caused by low ranking teams they faced during first games. So if you want the teams with 1 loss to go to the final bracket, just give opportunity to that teams to play all the rounds, even if i understand you want to shave time for Daily ATs. At the end , with all the rounds played, you have the true ranking of the teams, and the the pairings for final bracket is more realistic. And imo, if you increase number of teams into final brackets, it will allow all X-1 teams to go through, but you won't shave time (because you get one more round), the bad tie-breaking will keep the same, and the pairings into the final bracket will be wrong. http://swisstriangle.net/ In this website you can calculated number of rounds.

I think the population is there, more or less, but we have consider that the plat population is not the only pvp population. And there are a lot of Gold/silver/bronze players that maybe want to play more as a team, and cant because they're getting eliminated eatly in AT, so they can't take pleasure with play what should be a team gamemode.For all star Game, if you fix a date , the ASG is schedule, if people cant be there, then the priority goes to 11, 12 etc to be a substitute.And imo if you give that kind of game, with a bigger reward if you are participating, people will tryhard more... so maybe less WT. I think there is something to try.

Hello, Grochaton there. Since many months, maybe year(s), i'm thinking about new ways to give a little bit (just a little bit) of hype to players, thinking about new small things that can improve the experience. I will give you those ones, and maybe argument a bit, in which way it can help. Globally it will be to improve teamplay level, and experience. Ranked seasons : Give us Back Ranked Team Queue: Over years and years, seasons and seasons, PvP Level decreased constantly. and it's not improving at all... Imo, one of the reasons, is people can't play most of the time as a team and improve their team gameplay, or even their global gameplay. As i remember GW2 PvP is a 5v5 team game mode. It's really a shame to play a PvP game Mode and cant play with teammates like we did before (remember Good old times bros), or even like you can do in every other "competitive" games. But you can tell me "there are ATs" , but i will come back on the subject later. It's not by playing Games, with your whole team, twice a week that you will improve anything, and so you will take more pleasure playing with friends. And it's not by playing solo/duo that you will improve anything except maybe your personal gameplay.. that is not enough almost everytime to win ATs or pretend be able to win ATs. And that's probably why Solo/duo level is decreasing over years and years.Playing full team regularly will improve many things: communication, awareness, rotation skills, kiting, many other stuffs... By playing with other players, even better players, you can give and take advices, and improve globally faster than you can ever do in solo/Duo. That will allow you to play then against better players, and give rivalry, new challenges against better teams progressively.And in this way, if there are any improvements, Solo/Duo level will increase, Games will be with better quality, and more enjoyable. But if things change in that way, it will change really slowly, so it will take many months before seeing any changes. SO imo, we have to act as fast as possible. 2v2 : I know ANet talk about doing 2v2 seasons, in off season. But i think that should be done at the same time as the 5v5 season. As we've seen, 2v2 tournaments were really successfull events. It bringed a lot of people. So it will be a great thing to give a regular season, contemporary to solo/duo season. It will bring many people, giving them opportunity to enjoy more sometimes, and relying more on their own fighting skills than overall conquest skills. It can bring people from WvW, PvE, than can maybe get more interest in PvP and especially conquest Mode (So maybe more people in Conquest Mode) ATs : Schedule : Imo best thing to do is to give regular schedule for ATs. With always changing Schedules, it's really hard to play regularly with teammates. For only one week, i tried to write how much teams where engaged in each ATs . I know one week is not enough to estimate how constant it is, but i get that stats :From 1:15 am (CET) to 9:15 am : from 4 to 8 teams.From 10:15 to 15:15 : from 10 to 13 teams.From 16:15 to 00:15 am : from 16 to 24 teams.So Maybe it can be interesting to put regular schedules like : 14:15/17:15/20:15/23:15, or 14:15/18:15/21:15/00:15 for example. And stop early time ATs. Weekly ATs : Other thing that could be great is to incorporate Weekly ATs, on a regular Day in the week, as it was before with ESL. So maybe incorporate Weekly ATs on thursday (as it was before) or on sunday for example. And with that kind of special ATs, better rewards than usual ATs. Swiss are already scheduled, but it's really important to incorporate them fast. It will avoid to every team, early elimination frustration, and allow teams to fight more teams of the same level, and so improve too. "All Star Game" : This idea came with last season.. I was really disappointed, seeing the match manipulation keeps continuing seasons after seasons to get "titles" (even from people i didnt think they were able to). SO finally i had an idea to make people fight more "fairly" for Top 10 especially. And probably extend it to Top 25.The first idea was to celebrate, at the end of each season, an All-Star Game Night with every top 10 in NA and EU. Top 1 and 2 choose their team in turn between all the top 10 players( top 11,12 etc if one of the top 10 player isnt available). Games can be played in Bo5, and the rewards for each player really interesting so player can fight for that top10 ( like 1600 Gems each player, or legendary weapons.. etc for winners and losers gets like 800 Gems and precursors wepons)That idea can be increased to top 16. So 4 teams with Bo3 Semifinals and Bo5 Finals. Rewards : Increase the rewards. Ranked Season : Stop with only Titles and potions. Actually the rewards are not proportionnal to the time duration of the season, and the invest. Give golds, Gems or interesting things and proportionnal to the Game Mode. If you have a Solo/Duo, 5v5 Ranked and 2v2 Ranked game Modes, give rewards that can be in that order: 5v5 > Solo/Duo >= 2v2. So people keep interest in conquest 5v5 and do not leave it for only 2v2 for example. ATs : Same Rewards in Monthly, and if Weeklys appears, give like 100 golds, tournament vouchers, potions etc.. for winners, and decreasing with the place in the tournament.Don't hesitate to add any ideas you can have, comment or give any advice. Have a good evening. PS : Also one other thing, and i regret it's only have been many years ago and only for Worlds. Pls Put a announcement in the right corner, to inform people that there are some event's streamed, like Monthlys, or any other special events. You never did for ESL (weekly and monthly), and it would be a great thing to give the information. So it will increase the visibility of the events!!!

Hello , Perhaps it would be time to set up the Swiss round system, ithat was announced for the first time in 2018. This would avoid the frustration of knockout elimination Brackets. In addition, I could be wise to set up quickly in pvp ranked 5v5 (full team) and ranked 2v2, with the same kind of ladder as the Solo/Duo Ranked, but with every game mode with his own ladder (Dont think it's that complicated to set up) I can give you screenshots of examples I designed in a few minutes. Good evening to you and good luck https://goopics.net/i/WbvAD https://goopics.net/i/boeAQ
