New top 50.

When will the next polls and voting be for the next top 50? same time as last year or is it coming up around or before tourny.

The Top 50 Player Rankings are voted upon in the second half of the year so that each player, that has played in that year, receives a greater chance of making it on the list whether they are active or inactive during the voting period.

For example, some people were complaining (including Clarity) about Clarity being ranked at 14 because during the voting period he was inactive for 3 months. If the voting period took place in October instead of July then Clarity's stock would have dropped significantly because the voters' memory of Clarity's Championship win would have faded away due to the amount of time that has passed.

Alright thanks, and another question. Will the next tournament be draft picks or will it be like random picking asking people if they will join their team? and if thats the case when will the sign ups be available?

[Peyton]

The next tournament is Official V so there is no chance of there being a draft. The only time that I would consider a draft is when there are no clans around and when we are doing a league. I would like to do a 6 week league with a draft by the end of 2013.

It's actually better that the Votes are towards the end of the year because many people go on vacation during the summer and can't even play CS. They are often forgotten and their rank degrades because of their inactivity.
