Cumulative Ban Formats

Map Pick + Opponent Spec Ban

The pre-stage winner still chooses White or Black. After every decisive bullet game, that bullet winner chooses the arena map and bans one class specialization against the other team for the rest of the Bo5.

Coin Toss Pre-Stage

Coin Toss Cumulative Ban

  • Pre-stage: the coin-toss winner chooses White or Black.
  • Decisive bullet: the winner chooses both the arena map and one class specialization ban against the other team before the next round begins.
  • Persistent pressure: that targeted specialization ban remains active through every later round of the Bo5.
  • Draw: the round is consumed, but no map or specialization ban is awarded.
  • Series boundary: after five recorded rounds, use the explicit New Series control to clear maps, logs, and bans.

Developer Roadmap

Join the Discord

Strategic.GG is evolving. These are longer-term ideas under exploration for the Chess-WoW Arena Portal, not features currently in development or release commitments:

  • ⚡
    Matchmaking & Source Ratings Automated queues with source-attributed chess and game records shown as separate facts. Strategic.GG will not hide them inside an opaque cross-game Elo/MMR.
  • ⚡
    Advanced Draft Formats & Points Systems Dynamic class/spec pick & ban phases for the WoW Arena stage, integrated with custom point systems where bullet chess or fighting game outcomes directly impact draft priority, bans, and composition rules.
  • ⚡
    Tournament Brackets & Team Management Native support for multi-team tournaments and double-elimination brackets, allowing structured gaming groups and guilds to schedule and track matches over extended seasonal timeframes.
