Outpicked Archive Thread

[FrozenStorm]

Okay, per Justin's suggestion I've started this thread for us to keep track of our previous threads. If we want to use PerCo's thread at the bottom there to organize matches, I'm down, otherwise we can do it here or on a thread-by-thread basis. I figure this would be a good place to keep track of statistics of any games played, though. I'll keep an eye on it, just upload a replay and state which match you played and who won (I'll browse the replays if I can, but summaries would help).

Remember that this is all for fun and to learn, so please keep the flaming to a minimum. This thread is open to people of all skill levels, so if you want to convince others that your opinions are valid, you should have good explanations.

Turn 0:

Turn 0 was ended early after Pool 4 received 17 votes in the first 24 hours.

Forumers are given a choice of four draft pools. There is a ~48 hour voting period to chose the Draft Pool for this round. Each forumer is allowed up to 1 vote each for their first and second choices. All votes will be counted equally, so it doesn't matter which one is your first pick. You can vote for only one if you want. I'll tie-break in the unlikely event of a tie. Voting will end in about 48 hours at roughly 07:01 UTC (GMT) aka 00:01 PDT (PST, Los Angeles) on Sept. 15. Turn 0 will end early if there are enough votes in 24 hours.

The thread number is 38568. Forumers get first ban and first pick.

GG to all, and to the next OP

ALSO PLEASE MAKE SURE WE ONLY HAVE ONE THREAD RUNNING AT A TIME!

[EternityPala]

Sticky please.
And nobody's hosting the 7th round ?
Oh, and might i suggest a split in the matches thread ? Since, not everyone's living in the american or european region, and there're asians as well.

[Aequinox]

You missed the Outpicked: Round 5 Discussion thread. It doesn't have much (as there was a lot of discussion in the Draft thread), but there's still discussion there.

http://www.playdota.com/forums/36258...nd-5-complete/

[Ab0rti0N]

Someone start a 7th xDDD

[leomon235]

I think no one's starting cuz school started, and 6.63 is released, so everyone's still trying out the heroes. (Since I'm pretty sure round 7 will be 6.63)

[FrozenStorm]

Thanks for that Aequinox, I will add that

Also I would start another thread, but I didn't want to be monopolizing the hosting duties like CQ (jk Queso, bravo on the initiative).

I'd encourage anyone interested to try it out though; it's an interesting process. Beware the flamers tho!

Go ahead, since no one's starting or something (not like there's a specific set of rules or anything)

[SpartDX]

Do we want to state the general rules in this thread as well, to make it easier for newcomers to create a Outpicked thread? Maybe even the format - some people can be deadly lazy.

[UTDC.Justin]

Let's not have too many rules, except that we'll have one thread at a time to prevent opinion from being divided in the forumer's bans/picks voting.

[Ab0rti0N]

Make another one, Queso has made two you can too (=

[SpartDX]

Sounds fine. Was thinking more the most recent version, keep version until end of round, one thread, pick by pairs when possible.

[Amiag]

Sticky

[PerCo]

sticky. I will start one when I get home today. Ill steal the format people.

[FrozenStorm]

Good to hear PerCo Looking forward to it!

[BabyComix]

Perhaps leaving the completed threads in red, and coloring an ongoing thread in green / a different color would help the format a lot.

[FrozenStorm]

Not a bad suggestion BabyComix, I'll do that I'm all about the eyeSekks ^^

[Sykik]

Bump. Just so people can have a look at all the resources in here. reading these threads would be great for a beginer trying to understand the metagame.

[Lycan]

Looks solid, though you might want to hotlink to Anura's Summary of Changelogs.

This will make it easier to analyse maps and drafts from older maps.

[Baconnaise]

When will the next one be? Wait till 6.65 maybe?

[Manta]

Bump, add the 14th one?
