  • Single Round Games...Problem

    Although the TWL format is great, one part in peticular is flawed in my opinion. To me, as well as other poeple i've spoken to, the 1 round style of TWLD and TWLJ makes no sense. It is the same thing as cutting the TWLB winning time to 7 minutes and 30 seconds long. With 1 round games it increases the chance of luck prevaling over skill, with best of three (the same as in TWD) the better squad will more often win. I think its important to keep TWL the same as TWD, giving squads a chance to rebound with 2 rounds, which really won't take much longer.

    EDIT: For those of you who would like to take this opritunity to badmouth my skills and say something of the sort, "you just want 2 rounds to suck" etc, please refrain, that type of nerd comment is better kept to yourself and out of this serious discussion.

    stick with the one round, it just makes it go by quicker and the real team will win right away, with 3 rounders teams can just have to play 2 rounds of domination like for example syndicate vs warpath, what if they had to play 2 rounds, waste of time imo

        Comes up every year, if you can't not choke you don't deserve the win - playoffs are 3 rounds.

        Plus there's the whole (legitimate) staff argument that it at least doubles the burden of hosting and in many cases triples it. It's hard enough getting enough staff to host 16 dueling games a week and 8 basing ones.

          i agree with genocidal, it shows what a squad can really do when down 40-30 in a 1 round situation. If a squad can comeback you know they deserve it.

            It would be nice, and would fit in as far as time as concerned, but like the other people said many staffers dont want to host meaningless games for so long

              it's been a one round thing during the season for the passed few years... doesnt matter anyways.. if your squad is good.. i'm pretty sure u should have np making to playoffs.. unless u tell me the other squad is lucking u every game during the season which i HIGHLY doubt it shouldnt happen..

                  Most squads that are meant to win, will win the game in one round. Only squads that choke end up losing and complaining. With that said, be consistent and you won't lose. Choke and you fuck up. It makes all the more better in my opinion. Plus, no one wants to waste potentially three rounds on an early Saturday/Sunday morning.

                      3 rounds often end up taking longer than an hour with all the delays in putting people in that squads always have for twl. Playoff games routinely take more than an hour. So yeah the time issue is a big one.

                        You play multiple matches so if you are good enough you will qualify. Upsets are possible, people try hard just like Colonel said. In playoffs squads will actually have to show they can put up with other squads for three rounds.

                        Its fine as the way it is.

                          one round is cool. makes twl special. =P some games i wish i woulda had the 2nd round though, cause getting spawned 3 times in a row can really ruin ones game and there is no second try...

                          dont know if its a bad thing there is luck involved. ...im the lucky one most of the time.

                          its the close games i wish had more than 1 round. but as said, its really boring to watch/host a game where the winner is obvious, for 2 rounds.

                          theres one more good thing in 1 round games. it leaves room for unexpected results if a team is daydreaming during the game. B)

                            1 round = less time, more competitive, more chokes, more upsets

                            What else do you want?

                              then it would be like a normal sport event(fighting, after game whining, doping(CE) and last but not least devoted fans who wish to show theyr private parts)

                              everyone agree that once the staffers catch someone cheating they wont get to play, instead of evading the ban and rejoining that squad on an alias, then cheating again.
