But still, can't say it's a bad thing.
Tournament is relatively small to what we are planning longer term.

I love the idea, hope it goes overwhelmingly well.

But still, can't say it's a bad thing. We plan to have regular elimination tournaments in the future but they will be bigger than this. This event was just in response to the popularity and good feedback from viewers about the online KOTH events and to tide everyone over while we wait to set up for a larger elimination tournament!

awesome
i think its good for the players also because at the end of the tournament, there will be a lot of happy people. I imagine the prize money will be distributed quite well unless some monster goes undefeate for 2 days or so.
best of luck and hope as many as possible attends =)

it kinda sux that ur awarding pts for previous koth wins before you announced this event, had you announced ur offline finals prior to the koth's the competition lvl would have been much higher, as it is some of the players might be undeserving of their spot

The offline event was mentioned personally to the players invited but as there was no thread (as some details had not been finalised) I think a lot of people sort of ignored it

There is going to be at least 10 more KOTH events per region before this event.
Everyone has their chance.

I'm so exited that Perfect got invited! Does this mean team VT has to pay for the flight over? It sucks because I don't think that they have the cash to splash. God I hope that I'm wrong, lol.

Noone has been invited yet. The players listed are just the players that have performed well so far in our KOTH events. We'll be running a lot more in the coming months.

Those rankings are current points, we will be running over 10 more Region KOTH's before the final live event, so we will need to continue to do well to get invited to the LAN itself
