We're announcing four more tournaments!
Thanks to the success of Let's Go 2!, we've decided to host 4 more tournaments that will ultimately conclude with Let's Go 6!, which seeds the 1st and 2nd place finishers of the previous four Let's Go's for a total of 8 players. This event will be called Let's Go 6! The Final 8. Whether or not already qualified players can play in other Let's Go! tournaments is decided by votes in the feedback form below. The main purpose of this thread is to receive feedback in the form provided at the bottom in big letters.
Let's Go is a tournament series meant to promote/support the foreign community, so only players that are outside of Korea are allowed to participate.
There are two variations for the qualifying format:
1) The 1st/2nd place finishers from each Let's Go (2, 3, 4, and 5) will qualify for Let's Go 6! The Final 8. Already qualified players will not play in other Let's Go! tournaments.
2)The 1st/2nd place finishers from each Let's Go (2, 3, 4, and 5) will qualify for Let's Go 6! The Final 8. Already qualified players can play in other Let's Go! tournaments. A qualifier at the end will be held to fill in remaining spots for Let's Go 6! in case already qualified players place in the top 2 repeatedly.
Decide which one you prefer as a viewer/player along with providing additional feedback on casting, broadcast time, in the form provided here:
The Feedback Form
Once feedback has been collected we will release a followup announcement post on the tournament schedule, times, format, prize pool, and more.

I wasn't aware of this format and it seems slightly more complicated. I don't think we can change it at this point, but we pretty much decided to have a straightforward format that's easy for viewers to know who qualified. It either a) gives more opportunity for the same players to still compete/win money or b) gives more diversity and opportunity for a wider array of players to compete/win money.

This is great news, looking forward to more awesome tournaments!

Option 1.
This will keep the bracket fresh and intriguing for players on the bubble. If you hold option 2 then the 'true' tournament will be the qualifier on the side seeing as being seeded for the final Let's Go is the ultimate prize here. I'd rather the gosus come in and claim their seeds and then sit out as the bubble players rally for a dogfight for the other spots.

I will be playing in all the remaining ones. Glad there are sponsored tournaments to take the place of HAY/BSL during downtime.

That's true, but the downside here is simply that if you have dandy / bonyth / dewalt / etc win the remaining ones, and they all start sitting out, will viewership decline? I think that's the real key for option 2, which is we keep the viewership high because most people do enjoy watching these better players.
That's why we created these two options to see what the community wants though.
As for TT1's suggestion on a point system, it's a good and logical way to do it - no argument. But, we just want to keep it simple and straightforward, host a few simple tournaments and just be a buffer for the community until BSL returns. That's the goal is here.
Thanks for the support everyone.

It doesn't mean anything. We're just calling each tournament by a number (Let's go 3, Let's go 4, Let's go 5......). So we're ending this iteration at #6 which will be a "final" tournament where the top 8 will play. Think of 2,3,4,5 as qualifiers to play in the final tournament. That's all.
