The handicap system is interesting. and the better player selecting first.

Just one thing though.. i get the feeling that waaaay to many players are quick to call a nation bad because they are not good at using it (instead of blaming themselves as usual).

Since most players arnt "pros" (if you want to call it that) most are going to call hard to use nations like machaka or ulm bad...

Baalz almost proves that these statements are false. some nations are just meant for higher grade players.

Ive also played a couple 1vs1 games and i have to say that if research is set to easy and the players are pretty even in terms of competitiveness then the game is not a early-game-rush-only thing.

But either way as lama said: tests will have to be done.
