As an additional rule for this week, rapidly losing elo in order to participate is not allowed. We will consult ELO graphs the day before in order to decide who is eligible.
For those who are new:
-
Maps are striked in a banning process from a map pool (winner of !flip is player 1 for purposes of striking), and then the player who wins a !flip if game 1, or loser of the previous game if games 2 or 3, picks a map from the remaining (unstriked) stages.
The order goes:
p1-p1-p2-p2, p1 pick - for game one.
Games after game one - the winner of the previous game bans three maps from the pool, and then the loser picks a map from the remaining options.
-
Due to time issues, we are slightly reworking the format to increase getting to play against more unique opponents this time, as well as speeding up the preliminary phase of bracket. Swiss rounds are now Bo1, followed by Double Elimination Bo3. Grand Finals is Bo5.
-
Stream link will be posted before the tournament starts.
Bracket is up here. Tournament discord can be found here.Hope to see everyone out participating!
