Popular Post BurntZebra Posted May 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone. It's that time of the year again for another season of PSL. As most of you know, JJ stepped down from the hosting position after last season of PSL, so a new host was required. After some discussion, it was decided that I would be the new host of PSL as I have been a part of all seven seasons of PSL to date, managed one season, has been a Tier Council member for over 2 years and counting, and an active member of the competitive community. And with JJ's blessing, I am the new host of season 8 of PSL. Just like with all the other seasons of PSL, donations are greatly appreciated to have a nice prize to play for and to fund smaller events throughout the season, just like we have had in prior seasons. How to Donate? Donate to "BurntZebrah" using the in-game mail system. Note the "h" at the end of the name. That is the account that will have all of the PSL funds on it. If you do mistakingly send it to my main account and don't mention anything about it being a PSL donation, I'll just assume you're being a nice person. ETA on PSL 8? I won't be able to give any exact date for when the general thread and manager sign up thread will be posted, but it will depend on the amount of donations received, when Orange's World Cup series ends, and when I figure out various rules for the upcoming general thread, but I'm guessing it will all be done by the first week of June. I don't have a set goal for the amount of donations, but the more, the merrier. Rule Discussion? Are you one of the people that did not like something about last season of PSL or other seasons of PSL? Such as the BO3 doubles format, or the auction and draft combination for picking players. Then let me know on this thread. Most of the rules from prior seasons of PSL are not set in stone and I am open to discussion on any of the rules. Are there any neat additions to PSL that you think would make it a better experience? Tell me that too! Without further ado, let's get on with the donations and I hope this will be a great season of PSL, especially without biased host @DoubleJ Total Donations : 27,000,000 BurntZebra - 5.675M Frags - 3M TheChampionMike - 2M gunthug - 2M Lkrenz - 1.55M Yubel - 1.5M Lazaaro - 1,413,889 Elcoolio - 1M + his love KaynineXL - 1M RacheLucario - 1M Nahwel - 1M JIce - 1M Lifestyle - 700k EricTheGreat - 598,550 StriderxD - 400k + some extra Mlhawk - 500111 Mkns - 400k aftershocker - 300k Deadwind - 275k SirVecctor - 270k SirAlbert - 250k Axoa - 436k xSparkie - 200k Predakiller - 125k Abelachy - 123170 + 5 cookies Havsha - 100k Didi - 100k BurntZebrah - 42,886 Suneet - 34,612 stairway - 666 Kanzo - 69 Sialia - 44 Jovi - 3 Edited May 23, 2017 by BurntZebra LKrenz, SirAlbert, Zymogen and 63 others 66 Link to comment

I kind of doubt gen 5 will come during PSL. From what I heard from people, the PTS was fairly rough and unfinished, and there's probably a lot of work to be done on it still. I'd assume we're going to go a while before we see another PTS, and even then, there's going to be more time after that. If the update somehow came unexpectedly (or some other update unrelated to gen 5), then we still have a few options. I'm not sure on the specifics of what the update will entail, but it's possible that people will still be able to run old comps and I or someone else can check the comps to make sure that they do not have any illegal moves (will o wisp on arcanine or something like that). We could also go on a 1 or 2 week hiatus to allow people to make new comps. Showdown would be another option, but there would be some issues with mechanics changing from generation to generation. We'll worry about it more if/when it actually happens. DoubleJ, eporepacse, GeneralVenican and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Personally, I prefer just one doubles match, but I'll have to see what everyone else thinks. IMO: Best of 3 doubles>Best of 1 Why: provides opportunity for more skillful players to not get hard-fucked on a counter match and helps negate the impact of a heavy RNG game I went 8-2 last season, id have gone 5-5 if games ended after game 1, partly due to RNG, partly because of hard counter teams. So while it seems like this is a change that benefits me, it quite frankly benefits a higher skill cap doubles meta. Draekyn, eporepacse, xXBlu3BreathXx and 4 others 7 Link to comment
