Seton's Clutch Tournament Best team of 2023

If you want to promote diverse teams, I would suggest - every team needs to fit into one of these two rating caps:

Player 1: Unlimited rating
Player 2: up to 2000 rating max
Player 3: up to 1800 rating max
Player 4: up to 1600 rating max

or

Player 1: 2100 max
Player 2: 2000 max
Player 3: 1900 max
Player 4: 1800 max

The first kind of cap would allow JT and Mizer and Syndicus to be on competitive teams with the highest-rated players, without having a Yudi + Foley type of stack. (Allowing a Yudi + Foley on the same team would ruin the tournament by making only 1 team viable to win). The second kind of cap would allow other high-rated players to be competitive against a team led by Yudi or Foley.

Not sure how the game would play out, myself, but what if the 800 draws the air slot? Player walks mid after building fac and com bombs?

In my opinion, as 2000 global, there is quite a lot of difference between 1900-2100/(some 2.2ks) and players that are 2300+.

Seconding this. Most of the >2.3k players are just significantly better than me at my 2k.

sign up fedorafreak (1500) for Team Friendship-And-Gaming, if Mize the legend will take me.

@Cortana @FtXCommando @CheeseBerry Thanks for your inputs for the tournament. I think I now have a more general understanding of what is to be adjusted here. I have adjusted the minimum rating to be 1000 rating and have adjusted the ceiling to be 2300 rating. If you have any ideas on or changes for what I adjusted please send me your suggestions.

@syndicus The way you phrased the rating cap it sounds like >2.3k players are forbidden from joining. I assume you intended it to mean that >2.3k players will be counted as 2300 for the purposes of total team rating, right?

I can somewhat sign up? 2000 currently, if a team needs me contact me via Discord. I'm not a Setoner and therefore I'm prob more of a 1800.

Sign up. Im think my 2100 perfectly fit in to Mizer's team.

I would like to participate but what time frame needs to be reserved for this on that day?

Is the optimal balance rule set in stone?

This will likely create some unbalanced games. Ideally, you want the strongest team members to be on the carry slots, i.e. rock and air so each team has their best chance of winning. Leaving it to random chance isn't good. For example, what if one team has their carry players on the weakest slots, whilst the other team has their carry players on the carry slots. That's an inherent random disadvantage for one team and is generally not good for the tournament as a whole.

Teams should therefore be able to collaborate amongst themselves on who will take up which slots

Many Thanks

Wait how is opti supposed to work in this, you can't have premade teams with opti. Am I missing something there?

Also when is the deadline to signup? I'm still trying to figure out my life to make sure I can be free to play.

Actually yeah, I didn't even realise this lol. Optimal balance wouldn't even work for premade teams. So it has to be manual balance of course.

@exselsior
It cant be Opti. I'd luv to see you there Sir

You can in theory do optimal balance by having the TD randomly generate map orders where you put highest rated at 1 and lowest rated at 4

Optimal balance is way better because otherwise you just tell mid and beach to die in mid with mega brutal carry gamers playing rock and air

@cheeseberry Correct, players 2300 rating and below will be allowed to sign up.

Sry I'm still confused. Can e.g. farms with his 2.6k sign up for the tournament or not?
