I understand that knock-out is not good. Yes.
But I still think that the current system is far from perfect and it's still a challenge for the community to find the most fair system.
I really don't like the idea that the map is up to the host, and that the army is changaable, and that each pair plays with 2 (at least) armies.
May be then it's better to put everything on the shoulders of her magesty the Chance.
Every player comes in with 3 unchangable armies.
Every duel consists of 3 games.
Before the game we randomly choose the race, the map, and the host (but one race cannot be chosen twice).
In such a case player plays with each his army against each army of the opponent (randomly arranged).
In this system every player would be instrested in creating the most universal army, that should be able to handle any other race.
This system will also exlude a little cheating, when the host chooses the most comfortable map for him, and the most comfortable army for this map. As well as the possibility to use several armies depending on your opponent.
And it's very easy to implement. As a programmer (flash-developer) I could create a little app that would randomly make the tournaments group-tables, with maps, hosts and races info.
Well, that's just an idea...
@Ghabry Very very strange.
I think you're making too much work there.
May be I'll write another tutorial about how to capture the screen.
I use the free CamCtudio for that. And it takes seconds to convert the result videos. And I don't have to change the resolution at all.

That will also allow more people to record their games, cause CamStudio is free (although I prefer to donate to free opensource soft .
