Ok so after having watched Godar vs Saunamen, it's obvious that coinflip did not decide the outcome because marines won 4 rounds and aliens 3 and Sauna won the flip to choose aliens.

I'd like to revise my first idea that:

BoX with 2 rounds clear UNLESS there has been a win on both races in which case Bo5 a 3-2 can happen or Bo7 a 4-3 can happen.

This shows that one of the teams is skilled enough to win on both races at least once, negating coinflip wins.
This also allows a deadline of 3 wins (Bo5) and 4 wins (Bo7) if any one team wins marine.
This allows teams which are very close in skill not lose out because of coinflip (3-2 with 5 alien wins)

The downside is still infinite games if one team cannot win marines.


Just to clarify
BoX with 2 rounds clear
If there has been at least 1 marine win and 1 alien win, you do not need to be 2 rounds clear (Godar vs saunamen 3-4, 4 marine wins, 3 alien wins)but you still need to get to the 4 round mark in a Bo7 or 3 round in Bo5

do you want to know who is the better team or not?

if you choose yes, then you have to make one team win.

Yes there needs to be an objective way of finishing a game but it can't really be without having to win on both races because otherwise it's just coinflip winning the game.

Either the game needs to be balanced such that you don't need 25% solid accuracy as marines or you play till one team at least wins on both races

@wob: 25% solid accuracy ???


ppl wich get 25% of their hits registered have 80%+ acc,
but the game is so fucked up, that it just wont register!


a good game engine would clear a loooot of our talking here,
immediately.

Ok dude... sure.

The game is good. It's not perfect and sometimes you see blood and no damage but it's not a regular occurrence especially when the ping difference is <100.

If the game registered 100% we might see the accuracy pop up to 26% from 25% on 30 minute games.
