Taking example of the business demeanor of our beloved russian overlords friends we will of course endorse corruption and bribes!. Each personal bribe should be equipped with a fine casing of Franconian Beer!
- $1,000 to the prize pool for missing registration - $100 per game for the missing game(s) - $ 200 to take a spot after slots get freed up from the pl/ru qualifier. Player must meet all other criteria.
There are a lot of players with missing (pending) registration from challonge.com. Please note that those unregistered will become freeslots at date X.

Donations are currently at 8,925.14 $, thx to the lastest Champions of our hearts: Ollineo, Pl1stic and Dewalt!
Congratulations to trutacz for qualifying in the polish qualifier.
That enables secret corruption mode 1: 200 US $ to take the free slot in the qualifier! You must be eligible otherwise to do this, that means registered account in the ladder and 33 games minimum. No MMR requirements, first come first serve :D
details about map picking updated in the OP as follows: each player, taking turns, vetoes a map until 1 map remains. First round the lower seed (mmr ranking in qualification) vetoes first, each other round lower rankd player in standings vetoes first.

Besides the unfortunate drop-out of many players, i actually think the tournament is really great. We had very good matches and the players are really close in score, there's a lot of competition left for day2!

Same scores: Mad, Eon, Spx, Baku Mad = 1 win vs Baku Eon = 1 win vs Mad. Spx = 2 wins: vs Mad and Eon. Baku = 2 wins: vs Eon and Spx.
Although relative scoring between Spx / Baku is subject to debate, it's clear that group Baku/Spx > Group Mad/Eon.
Spx and Baku should say thx to Lancer. He earned almost nothing himself, except secured spot for fellow Russian and German friends. A signle score vs Lancer by Eon or by Mad would have secured undout top-3 and ticket to Moscow. Competitive StarCraft is cruel sometimes.
As tiering and taxing this format might be for the players, it was actually very enjoyable as a spectator I must say. Very exciting qualies, big gz to the top 4!
