The Highlander
There Can Be Only One
There is a final community cash prize tourney. One more cutthroat, more brutal than any before. The Highlander. This tourney features an invite list of the hottest foreigners with a prelim tourney open to the public. The catch? This tourney has no loser bracket, and will only award one player. That is right: Only One gets the prize. Winner takes all.
This weekend Saturday the 18th @ 21 CET we will be hosting the prelim tourney. This tourney is registration based and requires each interested participant to PM either {88}iNcontroL or Plexa on TeamLiquid.net in order to sign up. Once you PM me or Plexa with you ICCUP ID we will give you the channel and confirm your registration. We will then add you randomly to the bracket. Signups close at Friday 23 CET.
The format for the prelim tourney is bo3 through all rounds with the final 4 qualifying for the final tourney. Each round will have a starting map designated at the tourney day with the loser picking a map from our map pool.
Format: 32 man tourney with 28 invites and 4 qualifying from the prelim. As before, each round will have a starting map designated at the tourney day with the loser picking a map from our map pool.
Round of 32 and 16 will be played on the weekend of Saturday the 25th. Final time etc will be posted the week prior. Round of 8 along with semis and finals will be played on the weekend of August 1st. Semi's/finals will be casted with vods uploaded and shared via TL.net.
Rules: Pretty simple, this is a community tourney ran by {88}iNcontroL and aided by TL.net big guns like Plexa and Kennigit. Everything is fairly typical.
1. Any abuse/cheating will be banned / removed asap.
2. This is a chinese free tourney. Sorry. The lag issues is simply too much for me, an amateur organizer to deal with.
3. Disconnects will be a regame unless one player is clearly winning. All cases will be handled by an admin if both players cannot agree.
4. Maps can be played only once per series unless both players agree to replay a map.
5. All replays must be saved and sent to Plexa/Me after each round. Any round without replays is subject to replay/forfeit by player without replays.
6. Allied mines/etc all not allowed.. standard rules.
7. Plexa and I are God.. whatever we say sticks and we reserve the right to make a binding decision on the fly. We have you, the players, best intentions in mind.. please just trust us to run a smooth tourney! (or die trying)

This is a community tourney.. ran by me and Plexa. This is not an official Teamliquid tourney... they are helping cause they are amazing but all problems/questions should be directed to ME.
You are probably wondering what the prize is? Well how does: $700 sound? Not bad right?
happy hunting.
Thx to ICCUP as a partner:
