‘Chiu on This’ is a short and regular opinion blast

The player haters draft has returned. For those who don’t know, this is like a fantasy draft except you want the worst score possible so you try to draft the players you think will get the worst K-D over the course of the event.

Last time I won by some ridiculous margin and because of that Vince, the editor of DBLTAP and die-hard Cleveland Cavaliers fan had to put in his twitter profile, “Ty Lue is my lord and savior”. After inflicting completely petty and unnecessary misery onto him we are here for the third rendition of the player haters. The same people will be playing this time. Me the greatest hater in both CS:GO and Overwatch (hello Shanghai Dragons), Vince the editor of DBLTap, and Dekay the investigative CS:GO reporter.

Here are the Rules of the Game:

1 – The 80 players in the playoffs will be drafted by the three of us in a snake draft. A picks, B picks, C picks, then reverse order C>B>A, till 78 players are drafted. The remaining 2 will be un picked (so s1mple and NiKo)

2 – Each drafter must have at least 1 player from each team.

3 – Each drafter must submit a roster they wish to field before the playoff game starts. Lineups are 3 man teams. If you do not have enough players, you get a +3 points per player per map. (For instance, if you can only have 2 players in a particular matchup and the game goes to 3 maps, the total score is +9 for the one player missing).

4 – Score is determined by the K-D differential. (The lower the score, the better)

5 – If no roster is submitted, I will default pick your roster with as many players you have in a particular matchup.

6 – Between each map, you are allowed to change the roster lineup of what you wish to field as long as the roster is given before the map starts.

7- You can only change your own players (Look at rule 2 of home/away field advantage) and you cannot field a player that is not being played in the matchup.

Home and Away Field Advantage

1- Home and Away teams are DBLTAP: Vince/Dekat. VPEsports: Me. Matchups are drafted in snake draft for the quarter/semifinals.

2- Home matchup advantage: You get to use one of your own subs or the teams subs and force them to be fielded in the roster. Example: If I have NiKo on my sub list, I can field him on Vince’s team. Or if Dekay has GuardiaN on his subs list (and doesn’t field him for obvious reasons)

*I cannot field the same player for both players on the away team, so if I did have NiKo as a sub, I can only field him on one of Dekay/Vince’s teams.

3- Away matchup has 0 advantage.

4- Grand Finals is home advantage for both sides.

Here is our current draft.

As for the punishments this time we’re still contemplating those. Beyond insulting the Cleveland Cavaliers more (as that’s a gigantic withering hole of pain for people from Cleveland), I’m not sure what else to do. Well I’ll figure it out.
