just force the default time

we should get a "team schedules match before 9:30PM" space on the bingo card

This whole pickban system is just retarded. Not only do you not know what map you are playing until the day before your match. Now you also have to worry about finding teams on your level to scrim the map you have to play.

How does ringing work in esea? Does the person ringing need to be rostered?
need an open roamer ringer for mon 9:30 btw

I'm fairly certain, no ringers in ESEA, just subs. As in, you have to have the person rostered and they need to have paid fees, which in this case is just premium for open.

you cannot have ringers, the closest you can manage is to have someone join your roster to play but a single player can only join a roster every 7 days, so you'd have to find someone who doesn't have a team

to add to this, you need to plan ahead of time for ringer-subs. Once the server is up 15 minutes before start time, the match is considered live and no players can join the roster during a live match. Learned this the hard way a few seasons back :(

my team is playing cardinal for our first match i love this system

how do i get cardinal when my vetos are badlands granary and cardinal

how much u wanna bet b4nny subs who dont even play esea voted for cardinal

cardinal makes me wanna die

4 fucking doors in every choke

Pickban is absolutely dreadful. Getting scrims on the map you need to play is painful. We are not CSGO. We do not have 40+ other teams of a similar enough skill level to play against. I know it isn't possible to fix this mid season but PLEASE revert this trash next season.

I would say it is pretty unwise to just deem a map shit because you've just downloaded it for the first time and have no idea how to play it. I do doubt it'll be fun to play in a more organised fashion but still at least in our scrim neither team had ever played the map myself included (I think) but just kept saying it was a bad map. But that is where I'll say I'm assuming majority of people haven't played cardinal prior it being voted in which may not be true. The other thing I would say if you think the map has serious issues then offer some more constructive criticism.

On another note entirely I do think this veto system is incredibly bad for tf2 even though I know it wasn't put in place for tf2. It is going to make finding scrims a lot more difficult solely because it isn't really in any teams interest to play maps they aren't playing in their match. But maybe it won't be as hard to find scrims because majority of people will probably not veto process, gully or snake so scrims will likely be plentiful for those maps. But that also means an even more limited map pool if that is all people ever wish to play.

I think the game would be much better with one map per week rather than the veto system for both ability to find scrims and for teams to be able to commit more time to practice in a meaningful way, having only 48 hours to practice a map sucks.

just play a half scrim on your map and a half on the opponent's, pretty easy to arrange

Oh boy. 2 rounds to go over a map and get an open team to not play like apes. That's great.

1. other team has 5 players, agree to reschedule
2. support ticket to move game
3. other team gets 6th player, cancel ticket
4. "You have waited too long to start this match. Please contact a league admin to reschedule. "
5. admin reschedules to right now so we can play
6. other team's leader already left and won't come back now
7. you are now here

slicerogues newbie mix team tried jewing a ffw and now refuses to reschedule

Shoutout to them for bringing slice open drama to a new generation
