The Tournament Oriented Balance

After realizing the Imbalance comes from Conflicts of Interest, as stated in This Post
The best way is to focus the solution in that way.

So I propose the Tournament Oriented Balance as a mechanic to improve balance in the most unbiased way.

Patches made thinking in the benefit of all 3 Races.

How does it work?

  • In Order for Players to Qualify to a World Championship, players have to win other minor Series or Tournaments. (No changes so far).
  • Those minor Tournaments have to be played with a Random Race (excluding the player´s main Race). If my main is Protoss, then that Race is excluded from the options, and Zerg or Terran will be randomly chosen by the Staff.
  • In the next minor Tournament the player will play with the remaining race.

So, taking the last example, my Main race is Protoss, that is excluded as a first option, and for the first tournament, Zerg was randomly chosen, and for the Next Tournament the last option is Terran, so that Race will be used in the second tournament.

  • Then for the Third Tournament the player can use his/her Main Race.
  • Once the cycle its complete it resets again N times for the N minor Tournaments that take place in order to Qualify.
  • And Finally for the World Championship the player is free to choose the Main Race or another, based on strategy, map pool, the opponent to fight against and other variables.

This will force Pro Players and the Balance Council to propose a Real Balance for all races in order to Qualify to the World Championship and get the Big Prize $$.

And this will bring a new life to the game:

  • This will improve the Balance a lot.
  • The meta will be in constant renovation.
  • New and Incredible Stategies will be implemented.
  • The tournaments will be a lot more dynamic and more interesting to watch and cast.
    Can you Imagine Serral, winning with Terran agains Hero as he uses Zerg?
    or Maru using Zerg to overwhel Dark’s army with his own main race?

So far Analyzing the Whole Scene, this is the best solution that came to my mind and it’s implementation brings a lot of new Benefits to the game, and not only for Starcraft, but also for Existing and Future Games too.
