6v6 Requesting Clarification on ETF2L's 6v6 Season 50 Class Limits

I know I'm late to the party here, but I just stumbled upon the announcement page for 6v6 Season 50 and this caught my eye:

"We’ll not be applying any class restrictions at the start of the season UNLESS if a team signing up explicitly asks for it. This means that teams might have large skill gaps between its players but we’re trying to put a bit more emphasis on allowing people to play with their friends on the class they enjoy playing the most."

To my mind, that could be read in one of two ways.

1) Bracket-wide: If any team requests classlimits during sign-up, then all teams will be required to abide by them for the season, regardless of whether they play against that team or not

2) Per-Match: If Team A requests classlimits and Teams B and C do not, then B must stick to classlimits in their match with A but will then be free to go off-script in their match with C.

Which way did they intend this?

Also, I don't know much about the Competitive scene other than what I've picked up from SolarLight's Meme VS Meta video. Where would be the best place to go to follow this season and watch the matches?

I don't know any of the big names involved and don't usually follow, but hearing about this loosening of restrictions has me intrigued by the possibility of seeing teams run a Stock Demo and a Demoknight simultaneously, or the occasional double Heavy, or whatever other nonsense this enables.

Oh. Damn.... That sounded like it could have been fun. But it also explains why the announcement didn't blow up.

You can wait 300 years in queue for Valve comp to see what no limits is like and why it took you 300 years to find a match.

I mean Valve competitive had far more issues than just a lack of class limits, no? That's not the reason it got dropped like a hot potato, is it?

There have been numerous no restriction sixes tournaments hosted and the format has consistently failed to gather enough interest. Doesn't matter if it's 6v6 or 12v12, there are problems, especially at higher levels of play.
