Hey guys, just wanted to drop an update in here:

1.) We are still going to be casting from replays. The cast will start around 2pm Pacific. So *make sure to send replays*.
2.) We are sticking with Single Elimination. We agree that double is better, however we have some time constraints around the event this weekend/casting.

Question. I am uh... not a good player... probably way worse than anyone else in this tournament. But I kind of want to enter anyway, just to be a part of this last-ever special event, see what I can do, and maybe get a replay casted. Is it OK if I enter just for fun, or would that just waste everyone's time and imbalance the tournament?

You and me both bro. It is a good way to show support and have a good time and play some big names. It isn't about winning, it is about the experience! BASK IN THE EXPERIENCE.

Silly question

Of course you should enter. That's what the tournament is for!

Important Update:

This week, we are asking that there be NO personal streams of this event

I know that normally we allow this - however, this week we would like to ask that folks refrain from streaming their matches. We would really like to avoid spoilers, and maximize folks' enjoyment on the main stream.
