Hello, guys!
The tourney is going to start soon so we should discuss the following thing: do we need creates in cwt scheme. It is a long story and we have discussed this a lot of times, but there are some new players registered plus Jigsaw reorganize CWT.
So, first of all, there are some statements:
1. Using creates in CWT scheme, makes the game a bit more random.
“A bit more” – cause there are much more important and strong factors influence on a game, such as, for example, random placement and sudden death.
2. Using creates makes the game a bit more exciting.
Example : let’s say we decided to turn random placement off. We will get the following – a game (and result) will become much more predictable and a wormer will take much more situations under controll. But at the same time we will get really less exciting game (there are some reasons for that, such as possible shotgun war, even during world class lightsider player’s matches, and we will lose a need to think fast, no need to analyze a lot of things now, we had to analyze before).
Just the same happenes when we take creates off (we only get less changes, certainly).
3. On my own expirience and expirience of CWT (as I know) there wasn’t any unexpected winners of a final. I don’t remember any of my big losses caused by creates too (ask yourself if you lost any important match cause of creates?). Of cause there were games when I played a deciding round better then my opponent but lost cause of banana or x2. But it happenes too rarely (less then 2% of games), not every create is banana or x2.
4. I want to tell some words about wellknown NNN clan league. NNN league is a “prototype” of professional league. And using NNN scheme (without creates) in the league is not like using it in CWT. I stress it to make the following question clear: NNN has it’s own rules and CWT has it’s own.
As the result: use or not to use creates – is a question of what you want to get from the game:
More pro sport or more excitement and fun.
It is your personal choice and I just want you to realise those things before taking a decision.
Would be nice to hear some opinions from old and new cwt participants.
