The results are in from the feedback form last week. From what we've gathered we can pick a qualifying format, time, and casting system that fits the interests of the majority.
About Let's Go!
Let's Go was rebooted thanks to Sugo as the main sponsor of the Let's Go series. Let's also not forget the founders, casters, organizers, and admins - Just, Ty2, Nyoken, Seriosity, and Fujikura - who all helped make Let's Go a reality. Also, a special thank you to awerti for making our liquipedia page. He's the best.
Let's Go, first and foremost, is meant to promote activity in the foreign scene and support its players. That means only players outside of Korea are eligible to play. More recently, Let's Go was restarted to fill the BSL-shaped hole in our hearts until the next season of BSL starts.
Now with the success of Let's Go 2, we've decided to host four more tournaments, Let's Go 3-6. Players who finish in 1st/2nd place in subsequent Let's Go tournaments 2-5) will qualify for one final tournament with a bigger prize pool, which will be called Let's Go 6! The Final. In essence, Let's Go 2-5 will act as qualifiers for Let's Go 6. Take a look at Let's Go 3 which we've already made a thread for: https://tl.net/forum/bw-tournaments/546552-lets-go-3-may-4th-1-pm-edt-6-pm-cet#1
As per what people voted on, people who have made 1st/2nd place in any Let's Go and thus qualified for Let's Go 6! The Final, will not be allowed to participate in other Let's Go tournaments. The 1st/2nd place finishers of Let's Go 3, Dandy and Terror, have already qualified for Let's Go 6! The Final

Maps & Veto System
Maps will change with each Let's Go and will be specified in each tournament post.
Veto System:
Players will take turns banning maps from the map pool. The higher seeded player (on the upper bracket slot) will be the first to ban. Ban until enough maps remain to play out a full BoX (Bo1, Bo3, etc). Then, if applicable, players will alternate picking maps in the order they are to be played. The map pool will have 5 maps.
Example for Bo1:
- Player A bans map
- Player B bans map
- Player A bans map
- Player B bans map
- Remaining map is played
Example for Bo3:
- Player A bans map
- Player B bans map
- Player A picks map(map 1st game is played on)
- Player B picks map(map 2nd game is played on)
- Remaining map is the final map to be played on
Prize Pool
Let's Go 3-5 will each have prize pool of $100 + Donations.
Let's Go 6! The Final, will have a $125+ dollar prize pool.
Prize pool distribution is as follows for Let's Go 2-5:
