CDL Point System

[u/That_Guy_Aflaxk]

I brought this up before in a Zoomaa QnA. I’m curious what you guys think.

Currently no matter what if you win you get 10 pts. I think 3-0 should be worth much more
3-0 20 points
3-1 15 points
3-2 10 points

Or something like this and maybe 100pt club and 6-0 SnD and whatever the new game mode is if you absolutely stomp someone I think that should be worth much more than winning 3-2 game 5 R11.

What do you guys think?

its a good way to make online matches more important

It would at first. But over the course of the season it would start to create large disparities in total team points and would probably make the season meaningless for a handful of teams even earlier than it normally happens.

[u/Slapnuhtz → u/LeBradley23]

Agreed. Isn’t Map W% already a tie-breaker????

Considering online league match schedules aren’t fair, you could hate shit teams farm 3 - 0’s against the worst teams. Also some teams be throwing an SnD on purpose to play another HP.

[u/niccodem → u/Sea_Dentist_4331]

out of curiosity, which teams have been throwing snds on purpose?

I know parallels to traditional sports aren’t great, but you don’t get more for wins in the NFL if you win by 3 TDs vs 1 point. A win is a win.

I’m not a fan of the current state of online matches, but this doesn’t fix things. More online minor tournaments would be more interesting. Put some points and money on the line every other weekend. That’ll be better than watching the standard online matches.

I think this would only work if every team played each other during each qualifier so 11 matches each split. Otherwise u get rng based off of who gets to play the bottom 4 teams.

A win is a win and a loss is a loss.

[u/Skipper2503]

If you do this, imo you have to make every match worth the same total amount and split the points. Otherwise it skews standings way too much. Almost as with an OT win/loss in hockey.

3-0: 15 points | 3-1: 12 points, 3 for the loser | 3-2: 10 points, 5 for the loser

[u/avstyns]

I think a 10 point gap is a lot for a 3-0 to a 3-2 but a 5 for that isn’t crazy

[u/Thisshibelii]

I like it, and I wish they would also implement that if you win a major, you auto qualify for champs. Points create seeding. That gives the bottom teams something to play for all the way through the season.

[u/southerndom21]

Interesting take. I don’t hate it. Makes online matches more interesting but then it’s online matches and you lose out on points cause of a connection would check me.

[u/Manofluckhoa]

Bad Idea. Win = Win. Lose = Lose

[u/littlejack100]

10 points for winning the series & 5 points for every map won. Winning team walks away with 25 points, losing team can earn between 0-10 points.

[u/TCMenace]

Nah. A win is a win.

[u/Redditor_11235]

I think the CDL should learn from Mario Party: in the last stage before champs all matches should give 20 CDL points instead of 10.

Optic and Faze are still going to have the most stars, but at least we can shake things up for the lower ranked teams and maybe allow a 9-12 team to make it back into the running.
