Depends on how you see it: you could also say if one team leads the other clan has to risk everything to win the game and make the cb a tie, while the other clan just has to make sure the opposing forces don't control the Warzone for 3 uninterrupted minutes. So you still have to fight and I don't think you can avoid any confrontation.

Of course if you have less than 3 minutes time you have to kill the entire team if you don't want to end the game in a tie. Do you think it would be more fair to say that like in LMS the clan with more players alive is the winner if the WZ has not been controlled for 3 minutes, but then again the clan, that was behind, could also start to hide to get the game win and so the cb tie... You see we would just move the possibilities from a cheap cb win to a cheap cb tie. At all you have 7 minutes to try to conquer the wz until you have to control it for 3 uninterrupted minutes.


Or on LMS you could say the clan leading 3-2 just has to make 1 kill and then hide somewhere until the time is over, which would be a win for the leading team.

Nevertheless I gonna mention your thread in the *DBL admin zone.

At all the reason why we count ties toward the cb length is that so you can easily predict the maximal cb length.

Ehm no! - It could be 3-3-1

Ties are there on purpose, especially in use with the advanced ladder.

And then again you have big troubles with fair splitted hosting.

That was also a reason why we introduced a fix cb length. There is no host advantage anymore. You always play the same amount on each host.

Pretty simple... If one clan is based in one part of the world, and another clan is based in another, then the clan who has one of its own members hostin will have significantly less lag (most extream in US / EUR matches) - playing 4 or 5 rounds on a laggy server, rather than an equal 3 both ways makes a big difference.

There is always an advantage if the host is in another part of the world rabbit. No matter if you agreed on the host after a lagtest or not.

The point I was trying to make is against ties being part of the 6 games being played like 2-3-1, I have no problem with the end result of a CB being tied 3-3.  I just think any time there is a tie game during a CB the game should not count toward the 6 games played as I mentioned earlier.

im not gonna pout, but playing in a 3-3 cb last was really unsatisying.... we had more than half of our cbs go to 7 games last season and it really gets the blood flowing.


being done at 3-3 just made it.... anti-climactic.... now i know how 800's wife must feel during sex, so much build up for nothing.

The funny thing so far is that not a single game tie has been played yet only cb ties!

The reason why I added cb ties is that so you can submit the cbs on both ladders. If you have  a cb - you could play a second cb in almost the same time as before.

About having a tie in war - Northkorea with Southkorea: North and South Vietnam (which was conquered by North Vietnam shortly after all US soldiers have left and the US had already decleared peace, but this would go too much into history...)

In the end we will have a ladder winner, however sometimes cb draws can happen. I say give it a try, even if you have to adjust some of your tactics.

As always depends on how you see it: less games = shorter cb time = more time for more cbs!

At all the shorter gameplay should show the clans that didn't play many cbs so far how fast and fun a cb can be played. It's just a few games you play and then submit the score and can already play vs the next clan.

However to be honest I'm underestimated the impact it has for some of you.

One thing I wanted to create with a set number of games(as a consequence the possibility of ties) is that clans can be compared with each other more fair and more accurate, which would result in a better and more accurate ladder ranking.

This is how YOU see it, even though you don't even play.  Just because the cb is shorter does NOT mean that we will be able to play more cb's.  There are very few clans that like to do back to back cb's....let alone find another clan willing to cb.  I agree with everyone else (basically) that shortening the # of rounds...PLUS including ties is really gay.  The way it was set up last season worked out fine...the first team to 5 wins, wins the cb...

Counting ties is only going to cause problems...like more CAMPING...more lms...more bullshit.


no one is ever going to look at each individual map and think of it as 'a bunch of little mini cb's'.  This new  6 game system is only shortening the length of the cb. And adding ties - well that just makes it easier for clans to be gay and pick lms...and go hide in some bush way out in buttfucking egypt.
