IMPORTANT! NEW!
Tournament format: The Arizona Open will be run group stages into bracket play. There is no elimination in the group rounds. All players will be placed into 8 groups. Each group will play a round robin of best-of-threes. After the first game, the loser will pick the next map (No map may be played twice in a match) and so on until the bo3 is over. After the group stages are over the top 16 players (2 from each group. subject to change based on attendance) will then move on to the bracketed single elimination finals. The ro16, ro8, ro4 will be played in a bo3 format. The finals for the tournament will be a bo5.
Tardy rule: Since we are running a format with groups, time will be of extreme importance. Any player who is more than 10 minutes late to a round will receive a forfeit loss for that game and start the series at 0-1 and choice of map. A player that is 20 minutes late forfeits the match 0-2.
Map Pool:
-MLG Metalopolis
-MLG Shakuras Plateau
-MLG Shattered Temple
-MLG Tal’darim Altar
-MLG Testbug
-MLG Typhon Peaks
-MLG Xel’Naga Caverns
