Hey guys, so I'm making this thread to give out a bit of information on the NA qualies for the Corrupted Cup in case anybody missed it on the liquipedia page. You can see the details about the LAN event here. It's a $5k prize pool LAN to be held in Russia, with travel expenses paid for qualified players. NA has 2 spots, and as such, I'll be hosting two separate double elimination tournaments to determine our representatives in Russia at the LAN. In order to qualify to compete in these tournaments, you need to have citizenship in either the United States of America or Canada.
Dates: June 22 and June 29th @ 10:00 am PST, Check in is 1 hour before start time.
Rules
Channel: Corrupt (USWest)
Format: All rounds preceding the grand finals for each tournament will be Best of 3. Grand Finals will be Best of 5. All series start on Circuit Breakers, with losers choice determining subsequent maps. No repeat maps.
Map pool Circuit Breakers , Fighting Spirt, Cross Game, Overwatch, Medusa, Colosseum, Ground Zero
Register June 22
Register June 29
ALL REPLAYS MUST BE UPLOADED TO CHALLONGE
Cast: I will be (likely) solocasting the tournament on the day following each tournament via replays starting at ~11am PST on my twitch stream
How you can help: I'm currently searching for a co-caster, admin help, someone who actually knows how to format a thread like this, and the future Mrs. DocHoliday. Feedback on this thread, questions, personal attacks, and of course, helping me spread the word about this tournament are all much appreciated and welcome.

Who can beat Ty2 in NA? Isn't that a 100% quota for him?

I think nyoken have pretty good TvsZ, we will see

Gogo Jaeyun and Ty2! Artosis participating as well, hype!

I think a very important question here needs to be addressed:
I feel as though the tournament will host players who have zero interest in actually going to Russia for the next round. What happens when someone wins the tournament but doesn't want to use their ticket?
The obvious answer is it just goes to second place - but doesn't it seem a bit unfair that the winner participated in a tournament and eliminated other potential players when he or she had zero intention of actually using the prize?

It seeks like you should care more about watching the good games than the rules.

For instance, I know I wouldn't go to Russia, so I'm not going to play. I think if you know you won't go, just don't play. It will make everything easier. Just my opinion.

"Grand event admittance: Shared responsibility principle applies here. Quota forfeit and non-admittance may result in severe penalties, up to entire region disqualification."
Taken from the tournament rulebook
I think the player which would eventually forfeit his place and plane ticket should be banned from any Rus_Brain tournaments for at least 1 year, too.

I wish everyone would be that thoughtful.

Damn, only 10 players. I though NA had a bigger population. (in comparison, Polish qualifiers were like 30 people)
|
Is that really all the sign-ups? Where is gutshot aka michael to take the money and run again!?

Polish qualifiers offered more than two spots and obviously is much closer to Moscow than NA. The issue here is not the pool of NA players but the availability of them to travel half way across the world for a weekend.

Yeah was thinking the same thing. Heard some people talking on Artosis' stream they won't be participating for this reason (wasn't Artosis gonna play the qualifiers though?). And there should be a lot more NA players up for this still
