This is a good point. I think the better solution though - seeing as Skyball has had extremely negative reception by the vast majority of the vet community (the community where the pool of players for these events is drawn from, mind you) - is to take Skyball out of this event and replace it with KOTH. You can get around lack of map variety easily by making it the decider match.

This. Fuck skyball.

That's a pretty blunt way to put it, but yea. You have time to make alterations. Remove skyball and replace it with KOTH. It is a more dynamic and fun mode to watch and play.

Whatever nerd. Skyball sucks.

I realise that this would make it take much longer each week to get a full round-robin, and that wouldn't be ideal either.

Clarification: Yes. Each team will play 1 set against every team at some point during the 3 weeks and each set is 3 matches (Deathmatch, Skyball, VIP) It is not a bo3.
We were encouraged to use the different game modes. In saying that, there is a chance that every team could reserve their Squid for the Skyball match but KOTH only has 1 map. It came down to Skyball that has multiple different maps and teams can challenge themselves to win without a Squid if they are concerned about monotony. Or KOTH with only 1 map which would mean every set for every team would have the same mode on the same map which seemed much more monotonous.
Having a round robin each week, even with 2 casters, would make the event unreasonably long each week.

I think the greater majority would rather see the same map on KOTH with the varying strategies that will be forced (especially if its last map in the set) due to using ships to try to win the first two matches. Many more options in terms of ship choices compared to skyball. KOTH will be much more dynamic than skyball.
