I should have posted this yesterday... >.>
Most of this will be copy-paste, but you should all be familiar with the process by now.

EU QUALIFIER #1 INFORMATION FOUND BELOW


These qualifiers are open to everyone. Any skill league, and as many people that want to play. I will take each and every one of you =D. If you want to sign up, here is what you need to do. If you have ever signed up for a BronyCraft Tournament, it should be very familiar to you. I have to stress that you follow this format to the letter though. This Tournament is going to be very hectic, and will require Twilight OCD levels of organization to keep straight. So, if you do not follow the format laid out here, your spot in this qualifier may end up being dropped. Fair warning. I don't want to come off as mean, but I just want to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible =D

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR EU QUALIFIER #1

1) Post in this thread the following numbers in this list. Easy, right?
2) Battle.Net Name for your EU account.
3) Your friend code for your EU account.
4) Your favorite pony of the MANE SIX. Not Spike, Not Celestia/Luna, MANE SIX. (Don't complain, just do it =D)
5) Main Race - You must pick Terran, Zerg, or Protoss for the whole season. NO RANDOM.
6) Finally: To make sure that this thread stays on topic, post your favorite Screenshot OR Fan Art of Season 2. (ok, this can be optional too. But do it anyway, cause why not?)
7) Copy paste ALL of the above information and PM it to ME. BioSC. Yes, double confirmation. Again, Twi OCD levels here. Make sure that when you PM me, the subject of the PM is the # of the qualifier you want to sign up for. (Example: if you want to sign up for this qualifier, the subject would be "EU Qualifier #1"

Seems easy enough, right? I though so too =D

As for the tournament itself, its pretty straightforward. Here are the rounds/starting maps. I will add and subtract rounds as needed, of course.

ROUND AND STARTING MAP LIST
Round 1: Best of 3, Starting map: Antiga Shipyard
Round 2: Best of 3, Starting map: Ohana
Round 3: Best of 3, Starting map: Daybreak
Round 4: Best of 3, Starting map: Atlantis Spaceship
Round 5: Best of 5, Starting map: Entombed Valley
Round 6: Best of 5, Starting map: Cloud Kingdom

The format for the tournament will be a simple BestOf format. The first map for each round will be the one as described above, and next maps will be chosen by the loser of the previous map. the map pool for EACH qualifier, and the Main Event, is as follows.

MAP POOL
Antiga Shipyard • Cloud Kingdom • Entombed Valley • Ohana • Atlantis Spaceship • Daybreak • Metropolis

Yeah, we have updated our map pool a bit =D.

Finally, there is the points system. It is a very simple system, but I still want there to be no confusion.

Each qualifier has an opportunity for a person to score a number of points based on how well they progress in the tournament. The top 2 finishers from each qualifier will earn a spot in the Final Event, but the rest can earn spots based on the points they earn out of each qualifier. The possible points that can be earned are listed below.

POINTS BREAKDOWN
Qualifier Points
Ro32 10
Ro16 25
Ro8 50
Ro4 100
2nd Qualified
1st Qualified

WHEN AND WHERE FOR EU QUALIFIER #1
This Qualifier will take place on the EU server. The date is Saturday, the 19th of May. The Time will be tentatively scheduled for 7:00PM CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME. The games will be covered by yours truly on my stream, www.twitch.tv/Bio_HoN, with a very special guest, Special_Endrey!

I hope that many people sign up for this, and have as much fun as possible during this season. I am super excited for all of this to get started, and I hope that everyone enjoys Season 1 of the BCL as much as I imagine. I'm looking forward to your PM's and sign ups, and lets get this season underway!

HUMBLY ASKED COMMUNITY HELP
Once again, I ask for some community help. I want to make BronyCraft3 as amazingly epic as it possibly can be, but alas, I cannot do it alone. Here are a few things that I will need help with, and hopefully the amazing ponies here can work some of their magic and help me out with some of these things!

Advertisement and Promotion Specialist: I would like someone to spread the word about BC3 and the BCL to as far as possible. Post about it on Reddit, send the post to EqD, ect. Someone or somepeople who could do that... I would be very thankful for.

Qualifier/Main Event Bracket Organizer: I need someone to help me out with bracket organization and updating. Basically, if you do not want to participate in any of the qualifiers, PM me your interest in this spot, and I will get back to you!

Finally: To everyone in TLPonies, to everyone who is thinking of signing up, to everyone who may or may not watch the vods, thank you. I want this to be the best thing possible, because you guys are worth it. If you have any questions at all about this whole thing, any format questions or anything, please feel free to send me a PM on TL. I check this thing daily.

I finished Fallout: Equestria yesterday after shotgunning the last 15-ish chapters in 4 days. Now I'm dealing with that shitty, empty feeling having just finished an epic story.

Can anyone help?

Pinkie Pie
Zerg (so much zerg! It's because bronies like cute things)
It's hard to choose just one favourite, but I think it has to be this one. Very under appreciated imo.
