2014 Gladiator Tournament

[Honma]

idk 15 rounds sounds like a better number, a lot of glad's play better in the earlier rounds than they do later, while others do well in the later rounds.
in the case of a rematch, the number of rounds to be played would increase to a possible 59, excluding another draw.
thats one helluva endurance match if you take into account the fact that rounds can go from anywhere to 30s (a quick stomp) to 2minutes (a even grind) in a serious fight
these posts have evolved from a conversation between tourny competitors in a glad room recently
the changes wouldnt be too hard to implement either theres plenty of time; consider it?
and for the final, a set of 10/10/10 would be preferred also, cheers.
dont get me wrong everyones grateful for the tourny/prize/chance to show their prowess we just wanna ensure it goes well for everyone

Lol, no, first of all glad 1v1 has always been 20 or 30, and it IS a test of endurance. If some weak kid gets lucky since some experienced player didn't yet know their style yet and gets 8 kills before the way stronger player in a 15 round match, that would be dumb. Example: you go against 150 ping AUS who knows how to abuse ping really well and you die a ton, they win early since you didn't even have time to accustom to their style.

Side issue is that 15 matches make the tournament less competitive, than actually playing an opponent for a longer period of time.

I recently played a 1v1 vs LuoHan where I had the upper hand for like the first 7 or 8 kills, and it was a complete smack, but he proved himself a better player in the endurance test once he realized how to combat my style. 15 rounds just doesn't tell the whole story, what matters is the person who can show they are better consistently, over time. What means more, some random kid that came out of nowhere and defeated a strong player in a public 3 or 4 times in a row, or the strong kid who has consistently proven himself to be strong in various public rooms over many kills... same principle applies.

You are basically making an argument for "I'm inconsistent, please lower the amount of rounds so I have a higher chance of winning by luck"

I do agree the final match is weird, 30/10/10? Should be best out of 3, 3 sets of 20. It makes no sense to change from 30/10/10, and say best out of 3, since the amount of rounds is weighed differently
