To sharpen some claws and show insane games! Just out of curiosity, will you reveal invites before qualifications, or group stage, or at the last moment? Can't wait for this! I'm glad that someone finally asked this. I'm going to let it be a guessing game.

It's so cool that I'm gonna have to try Altitude even if I haven't played anything else than BW for the last 7 years. (got a PSP for Christmas, but it's still in its box...) Props for getting such a nice prize pool and organizing everything by the way ! edit : should add a direct link to Altitude's official website in the OP. There are only links to the AltitudeISL.net website that is down for me. I had to Google it to find it's http://altitudegame.com/ | ||

For example, the top let's say 20 people enter the same 3 qualifications, but they are in the same quadrant bracket for the tour, only 2 of them will advance and this could happen by chance that we lose a lot of top players. Similarly, we can get the lowest of levels if the other side is mostly mid C, etc. So with that in mind, I am going to enter the first tour, if you are above B rank you should not enter ^^ If the top 20 enter the same 3 tours, then 8 will qualify in qualifier 1 leaving 12 to enter qualifier 2. Then 8 will qualify there, leaving 4, who will all get in at qualifier 3. Yes, there is some luck involved with the process, but it isn't as bad as the scenario you described. I would say the "luck" involved is about as much luck in any bracket tournament. You could have to play sziky first round, you may get a walkover. | ||

Not really, if you play in 3 qualifiers and you lose 3 times, odds are you wouldn't get that far in the ISL anyways, therefore its not really luck, it's just you may perhaps get some lesser players in than some who may have gotten eliminated in the qualifiers, however, positions reversed between the players, likely neither of them would have gotten past the group stage. | ||

Gl with the tour. | ||

I would say the "luck" involved is about as much luck in any bracket tournament. You could have to play sziky first round, you may get a walkover. Actually, that's not quite true either. If the top 20 enter one tour and all end up on the same side of the bracket, only 4 of them will advance instead of the possible 8. If the other half of the bracket was full of C players, then you will get 4 legitimate qualifiers and 4 C rank scrubs going through. This is the worst case scenario of course, but highlights the point KC is trying to make. I think the seeding system that Gecko mentioned is a great idea in theory but will be tricky/time-consuming to implement. Also, it might not even necessarily be a bad thing to have the possibility of a couple of random C players qualifying. Adds an underdog story to the group stages ;p Edit: Also, this format of open qualifiers was used for GosuCup and worked pretty well. There were a couple of interesting tours where players like Cryoc (C+) made it to the last stage but I think overall only deserving players made it through. | ||
