I could participate, but outside of Senaiel, there is no one on this forum that could beat me in a 1v1 and it has nothing to do with ego. Unless we got some champion lurkers around (which we might) my participation doesn't make a 1v1 tourney more competitive.
I think we should do some kind of draft tourney. It can be 2v2 or 3v3 based on number of players. If we have more players, we can do 3v3 to keep the bracket under control. If we are lighter on players we can 2v2 to get enough teams. My idea for the draft tourney is that much like the world cup group draws. We seed people as best we can by their relative ranks or personal estimated skill. Then we just match up teams with 1 person from each pool, or with pool values that are equal. For example. I should be grouped with some silver rank player on the forum for a 2v2 tournament, but maybe a gold bar 3/gold star rank players can be together. Its not perfect, but its close to the best we can do.
Randomized teams also gives everyone a reasonably better chance to compete regardless of skill.
