Show Match Could Use MapBan as a way or more Audiance Interaction from what the players are Deciding
Also yeah I’ll try to include this more for authored map tournaments.
-
I'll play vs anyone, rating/schedule depending.
I would also be down to play a series on 'old classic' maps, such as Theta, Palms, VYA, Darozas, Emerald, Roanoke, EOTS, Syrtis. Open to suggestions for these maps.
Also down to play current/last months ladder pool, vetoed down to a BO7.
Faction veto for both series would be nice.I like winner take all. Giving people money just to play before they even start the series sounds a little strange to me, but If that helps encourage showmatches/viewership, fine by me.
I also like the idea that you play 7 games total, and win ~14$ per victory.
Also, do you know why we stopped doing WWPC? That might be a good series to re-implement.
-
I’m not going to maintain WWPC but anyone that wants to maintain it is free to restart it.
-
I think that a compromise between winner takes all and splitting the money initially would be best. System where you divide the prize pool by number of games and securing each map win grants you a part of the prize. This combined with a system where you play a fixed amount of games instead of Best Of Series results in lengthy series where both players try their best but there isn't a complete disappointment if you loose the series over all. Eg. you have a 9 game series where each map win grants the player 1/9 of the 100$ prize pool which would be ~10.1$.

I disagree with @Swkoll here: The point of a showmatch is to be entertaining. Thats why its called "showmatch" and not "Championship" or "Epic duel to death over 999 games". Its a nice way to test out more unconventional settings (like mapgen unexplored or whatever ideas) and to have something a bit more serious/organized than just random ladder games. Why would you not try your hardest when playing, if its a "soft" split? Everyone likes to win more than lose, I dont think thats an issue whatsoever. The soft split is there to keep it friendly and to compensate the potential non-perfect competitive setting a showmatch can have.

Where do the faflive funds come from?
-
Is it ad revenue or something?
-
It's coming from Subs probably

For the last month:
$39.36 Subs
$4.47 Cheering
$3.51 AdsA small amount of this is reoccurring, but we saw big spikes during the days the Spring Invitational was streamed, especially during the playoffs.

Will there be discord pings for future show matches?
-
Yeah, works out well for these actually since show matches are a bit more sporadic to organize compared to traditional tournaments.

Yes, actually going to put all the stuff in the OP as well, similar to how I structure the matchmaker thread.

The next showmatch should be a 7 Game ShowMatch between Nexus and Tagada for $100, May 21st 14:00 UTC. It's intended to serve the dual purpose of showcasing the highest level of FAF in both gameplay (Nexus, Tagada) as well as mapping (Jip, biass, svenni). I'll ping people about the event on FAF Discord as we get closer to the date.
It will be getting casted by Swkoll and archsimkat.
