Twitchy for qualifying tonight. Only 2 open tournaments remain! Make sure you sign up and don't miss your chance to compete for an invite to the $500 AGL-June!

We've also added the July dates for AGL-August. You'll notice that Playhem occurs every Tuesday and Z33K every Thursday and Saturday. This is mainly because Playhem doesn't meet all our needs in terms of hosting information and our map pool. Still we do not want to abandon it all together. Map pool will be added after AGL-June has concluded.

Additionally, we've invited some truly awesome players to the AGL-June including (T)

qxc,

TriMaster, (P)

RaNgeD,

IceCream,

Sleep,

Suppy,

HwangSin, and (Z)

ViBE.

Unless I am blind. I don't see a place where it says their race, league, or anything other than their name. I would imagine people who are looking to sign up and are in the lower leagues would want to see where everyone else is at. Also it says I need to play the race I signed up with, but I am not sure if it requires any of that information; or if it does I can't see what race anyone is.

If this is all fixed for when the tournament starts, then that is fine I suppose. Most people probably want to see what is out there though. Whether it is a ton of GM, or a certain race that are already signed up for the tournament.

We're amending quite a few rules due to the shift over to CSN. They have different parameters so we have to make the appropriate fixes. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Hey guys, there are going to be some format changes coming next week. I'll be announcing it in a formal post as well as the main post in this thread. We apologize for canceling tournaments over the last few weeks. It'll take time to get everything in full force over at CSN and we hope it does not deter you from participating.

Hello everyone, before I begin to announce some mid-season changes we're making, I would like to apologize on behalf of the entire organization for the cancellation of a few tournaments over the past 2 weeks. It is never our desire to cancel a tournament without good reason. Most of the tournaments were called off due to poor attendance and that is something that is entirely our fault. This is our league and we need to advertise more aggressively. We appreciate those who have stuck by us.

Second, we were fully aware our transition and partnership would take some time to adjust properly in terms of viewership and participants. However, we did not take into account the nature of other tournaments run on CSN. Unlike Playhem or Z33K, which are flooded with daily events and competitions, CSN has few tournaments that run continuously throughout the week. While this may be viewed as a negative we feel quite the opposite. It is something that will ALT to excel. It will let us stand out among our peers and competitors. We will have a consistent weekly presence.

So, without further digression, I announce our new format for the remainder of this season:

We will now be hosting our tournaments once per week. Alternating every Tuesday/Thursday. The first tournament day of the season depends on the way the month falls.
Similar to the MLG Summer Arena, we are now using two separate 32-player double elimination brackets. The winners of each bracket will now play each other for the grand finals in a Best of 7 series. We have elected to do this for a few reasons: CSN currently limits double elimination tournaments to only 32 players. It is easier to manage two admins and two streams with two separate brackets. Admin A, Stream A, Bracket A. Admin B, Stream B, Bracket B. Very simple and to the point. The double bracket style we will be reflected on the Liquipedia page.
The top 3 players will now qualify with each player receiving a higher seed for their respective placement. This is to ensure that top 3 players play out their games. This is to ensure that qualifying for our tournaments are more beneficial than being invited.
By now having a set seeding system in which the previous Top 8 are spread out between both sides of the bracket, we will be able to show our first round seeds a week prior to the AGL-August. This will give players time to prepare for their matches.
We have refined our map pool to only 5 maps. In order to pursue the highest level of competition we felt that taking away the variance granted by lesser known maps, will give way to a more approachable tournament and fiercer competition as well maps will be familiar. These 5 maps are: ESV Cloud Kingdom, ESV Ohana LE, GSL Daybreak, GSL Entombed Valley, and GSL Metropolis.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We could not do this without you guys.
