The Highlander

THE PRELIMS

The prelim tourney is over, 4 have qualified from an extremely tough field.

1. Shauni
2. yayba
3. Enivid
4. Tarson

Congrats to them. But honestly, this tourney was made great by everyone who participated. I have been involved in the scene for many years now and it feels great to see a tourney ran so smoothly and with so much great manner! You guys did great and the games that were produced will be revered and observed by many. Thanks! You can find all the games played today in the rep pack posted at the bottom of this news post.

THE FINALS

With the Final Four found we now have our draw. Ladies and gentlemen, I reveal to you perhaps the most savage tourney and skull crushing lineup to date:





You can also view the bracket here
The round of 32 and 16 will be played THIS SATURDAY July 25th @ 21 CET in channel highlander1.

We will not be allowing random observers so please do not flood the channel, you will be asked to leave then kicked. But ALL these games will be brought to you in a multitude of ways. We are unclear as to what exactly we will settle on but at the very least you will have the reps, at the very best we will have commented vods/streaming, so just wait and see!

Some concepts/rules that must be mentioned:
1. Each round in 32 and 16 is bo3 with no LB
2. Each first map is pre-selected. Loser picks from map pool and no map can be replayed unless both players agree.
3. No observers unless both players agree.
4. All disputes, disconnects, bm or other issues will be handled by Plexa or I.
5. SAVE ALL REPS. No score will be legit without ALL reps being emailed to Plexa immediately following the round.

If there are any questions or concerns please notify me immediately!

Community Prize / vote on best play(s)

The Bracket competition with a prize of $100 will be detailed and explained in the coming days. Take a close look at this bracket and decide what you want to do, it could earn you a lump of cash if you get it mostly right!

The best plays community vote will follow the closing of the tourney. We will select a handful of what we (the admins) consider to be the best plays.. this can also be recommended by you guys.. the two best plays performed by our competitors will earn them $100 respectively. This means if someone is completely outgunned in the first round they can still earn more money than at least 30 other people in the tourney by doing something pimp!

The final bracket looks nice, there's bound to be nice games there.

Man, my two favorite folks to watch are starting in the same bracket (ret and LZ)


... I'm so torn. Go ret or Go LZ.

Either way, this is an insane tournament, there will for sure be some games of epic magnitude in here.
SirJolt: Well maybe if you weren't so big and stupid, it wouldn't have hit you.
