KoobadoobsIt's kinda silly to call any match of the season more "crucial" than any other. Every match is equally important.
a match between two 4th place LAN contenders where the outcome could give the winner the head-to-head advantage in the event of a post-season tie is[/b] more important than a match against a likely first seed such as HRG
that hypothetical situation isn't uncommon at all

Flakxenigmawhat about a compromise? same concept -- unlock picks and bans -- but with an optional lobby cap of 12 instead of 18.
surely a simple option select the player limit isn't too much to ask for if the primary issue is a limited amount of time/resources?
but then you have to explain the different class limits to the children. and the class balance.
you think anyone with a single clue as to what they're doing is going to have fun if their team rolls out to mid with a spy instead of a demoman and an engineer building on last instead of a pocket?
there's more to it than just making lobbies with 12 slots.
all your grievances apply to 9v9 highlander lobbies too, but that's besides the point (which is for valve to throw the 6v6 scene a bone without having to put in much effort)

the301stspartanenigmathere is a very fundamental problem with highlander that I don't think the valve team has acknowledged:
it requires 18 players.
it's going to be a logistical nightmare to organize that many people in an automated matchmaking setting on top of the strict highlander constraints (1 of each class).
Why? New button in main menu -> Play a highlander match!
-click button
-pick class
-get put into lobby with most players in where your class doesn't exist already
-option to manually start a lobby
I don't see a big problem here.
18 players is almost double the number in existing matchmaking systems (5v5)
typical matchmaking problems:
- critical mass
- fair matchmaking/elo system
- disconnects/ragequits
- waiting
factor in a the added complexity brought on by almost double the number of players per game and a much smaller number of players queueing and you're looking at an exponential magnification of these problems

might not happen tonight -- stay tuned
ApolloftwI really hope the current date for S14 LAN stays the way it is.
they've never moved the date once announced
GoldenBrownBearNext he would have to add twitch logon to this site, likely as an additional logon protocol similar to the steam one
not possible
the chat window is just an iframe, meaning it's not part of this site at all
i don't know if this is possible
do you have proof of implementation on other sites?
mystery caster is STAR suspense over
last minute but it's happening!?
