Checked the past posts and didn't find this topic posted.

I'm suggesting to have a new way to select which games make it to observer mode in "Top Guild Tournament Games". Basically the point in contention is that the top 100 guilds on the GvG ladder don't necessarily coincide with the best HA players. In fact lots of top HA players hang out with friends (and hence don't enter HA as a guild) or start groups with guilds that don't play on the GvG ladder at all, or get ranked highly on it.

Hence I propose a different way to select top HA teams to feature in that segment of observer mode. The following could be some of the guidelines.

1. Calculate the average of the fame of the 6 players in the team. Put the top ten teams with a high 'average fame' who are currently playing, on observer mode.

2. Telecast games of those teams who go on consecutive streaks of 3 or more.

3. Use a choice of a cap, r9,10,11,12,etc. Telecast games of players who play in HA regardless of the rest of their team.

The aim of the criteria is to better sift out the better teams in HA and put their games on observer mode, just like using guild ranks to determine who to put on observer mode. Any other suggestions to the selection criteria would be greatly welcome.

You can always observe all matches in HoH ( with that I mean the map, not HA in general ) and those are usually r9-12's as well, so no need in my opinion.

I think you misunderstand my true intention.

1. There's only 3 HOH games on observer mode at any one point in time.

2. There's 3 teams vying for the winner's position in HOH, these 3 teams probably went on long runs (especially during peak hours) to reach the HOH and having just to observe HOH with its randomly selected requirements for victory doesn't always give a true reflection of the team and its mechanics in different settings.

3. The suggestion stems on the fact that the selection of the games in the 'Top Guilds Tournament Games' section of the obs mode don't necessarily reflect the strongest teams playing in HA at the moment, which in my opnion, renders it slightly less watched, so why even put it up there? (high GvG guild rank =/= ability to do well in HA, and vice versa)
