Whenever i hear brawling ships have a hard time agains sniperbuilds i think back to the first match against zill we had in anvalan. Watch it please. It still gives me nightmares. Lol.
I would definately not want to see a timerule but i would propose a REFEREE spectating instead who would be neutral and use some common sense to see if teams are doing something or if there is a frozen standoff. What a referee should look at would have to be beneficial for sportmanship and fairplay.

The problem with that is if you look at our last 2 games of the 3, most of the time spent was constant action. There was a comparatively small break in the action (compared to the overall time of shooting) when the Gents were in the canyon and the Rhinos were in our spawn, that there was no action, and we were clueless where each other was at. But we were both 1 kill away from a loss, and in a sniper game that means you don't go wandering about. That was a strategic necessity. A ref in that case would have contributed very little productive anything.

so wait, the entire 3 hours was constant combat with the exception of one small lull?! if this is true i change my stance to "sniping is boring as shit and i just hope brawlers are always paired off vs snipers"

I can only speak for the galleon but i think for our junker it was the same.
We on the galleon had a hell of a intense battle. It wasnt like only staying on gun and waiting to shoot.
A real sniper battle like the one gainst the rhinos is intense. We always hided and got back in fight. Had to rebuild our guns multiple times. Decide when to buff what etc etc.
It is intense for the players.

Yeah but a rule would be a rule. A referee could use his judgement and try avoid problems. I seen it work in other game tourns but if it would work or help here i don't honestly know. It's a suggestion. This tourn went well even so but it's hard as viewer to know what's happening compared to gamer or active spectator.
By that i by no means mean anything against how the vidstream went but just that someone who does only spectating has maybe more freedom to inspect.

Timeout rules are in consideration.
