The Art of Game Management
Managing is a discipline often forgotten in E-Sports. Counterstrike teams cannot function with 5 awp specialists. Dota teams cannot flourish with a team of farmers. Similarly, Warcraft 3 teams need diversity. And once you have it, you need planning. With WC3L Playoffs and Playdowns coming up, team managers will be doing thorough research into their opponents and making sure they know the state of their own players.
It is true that what the players do in game is most important, but who would want to put Undeads versus Orcs on Lost Temple as the starting map? No one.
This is an obvious example, but as you will see, sometimes there is more subtlety that goes into managing than outside observers can see. Next Page : WC3L or Standard Style

Despite some obvious bias, which in all honesty I expected, it was a nice feature. I want more columns though :(
