With two more additions to the current playerpool for the groupstage we are finally ready to enter the groupstage of the $100 GosuCup Season 1.
The groupstage will leave eight of the twelve players for the next round, which will also introduce the newest ProLeague maps into the mappool.
The groups are containing three players where each player will face each other once in a best of three, with each group having a different starting map. Each individual game counts as a point, so losing 1-2 is still giving you a point, while 0-2 does not.
The two players with the most wins per group will advance, in case of a tie there will be a second round of best of three, in case of a repetive tie, the games will be reduced to best of one in the next repeat.
As usual the playing time is scheduled for Sunday, 19CET.
The groups have already been released and starting maps are for both matches the players play in their group with each group having a different starting map.
The mappool is the standard mappool for the groupstage, consisting of Alternative 1.3, Neo Beltway 2.0, New Bloody Ridge 2.1, Neo Aztec 2.1 and Circuit Breakers 1.0.
The groups look like the following.

MichaelAs usual Sayle is going to cast the games over on his twitch.tv channel which also holds VOD's of the qualifiers. Those VOD's are also cut down to the single games and to be found on his YouTube channel.
Please note that the Round of Eight will contain the new ProLeague maps added into the current mappool, so prepare the new maps until then players!
Also make sure to read the rules beforehand, not knowing the rules is your own fault and might add delay to the tournament.
Below is a mappack containing this round's maps and also all the new maps already.
