But it's unbalanced, while ttm is 100% fair, and relies only on mechanics.

Yes! Frankly I never thought TTM was all that great of a scen. Cards on the other hand seems quite good. Seemed decently balanced to me.

Does it mean it's a good thing ? If we could make it balanced, we would. With ttm, you for once have something 100% fair.
Also in a regular game you have a ton of factors that make you be able to still win despite unbalances. In cards, I'm pretty sure it's like starve and you can very quickly figure out that there is 1 clear top civ and a couple BOs to win.

Why do we need to choose one?
If its a one day thing then we can have both..

Card game is certainly more fun and strategic.. But is still evolving, on balance side.

Ttm could be a nice start.. A tournament only focused on micro part.. To find out who has the best micro, and maybe showcase the powerful effect of it to everyone.

Card game can follow later after 2-3 weeks.

Ye that's what we'll be doing, as long as the format goes well. If it doesn't we'll try a different one.

the problem with cards is that it is the person who makes an army first that wins as long as the other person does not kill the tc in 1 minute (or is it 2?). its not a lot of time to do that even though they may have won the battle but it forces them to use more cards...

I think someone should run a poll gauging community interest before we rush to host a cards tourney. There is a proven interest in TTM though - tons of people have responded positively whenever the idea of a tourney has come up.

It does mean it's not a bad thing. Cards games are relatively short, so I'd imagine even in early stages of the tournament series to be at least BO5.
Starve was an awesome idea, it just lacked proper civ restrictions. We could implement a couple here — nevertheless, Inter is still working on it to be balanced, which is a much easier task than to fix the entire game, as it's just a scenario :idea:

If you want to do it in 1 day it's gonna be hard to do BO5 from the early stages

Cards is probs more "funny" but time to micro rewards more the mechanics. It's just not the same purpose. You play cards for fun, you play ttm to improve your micro and apm (and also for fun ofc).

Does the purpose matter? The question is whether it's fun in a tournament setting. I think a more strategic scenario like cards would be much more fun to watch and to cast (and imo to play, although that is quite subjective). It still rewards mechanics plenty. If it has balance issues I'm sure those can be fixed.

TTM will just be too repetitive, same units etc. Whereas cards there are a variety of civs, units and tactics... Just my opinion.

Yes the purpose matters. A different purpose means it potentially targets different kind of players. That's why you can't really compare cards and ttm imo, and that's why hosting both of those would be nice. It's like, say, a 1v1 and a team tourney. It's just different.
I would, for my part, rather cast/watch a ttm tourney than a cards tourney, it's just my style. But I can ofc understand that other people have a different taste.

Well tbh, just like we have different maps in a 1v1 series, we could have different ttm with different units. Could even imagine players vetoing some maps etc like in a real tourney. But it would require a lot of work to create new (good) ttms.

Lol it's not either/or we are going to do a Cards tournament as well. TTM just had more interest originally so it'll be first.
