metaGameGods (mGG) is a SEA-based, community-run clan with the goal of furthering the Starcraft 2 scene at all levels of involvement. We are proud to present our first pro-level tournament with The SEANA Trials.

This is the second of 2 qualifiers for our $1000+ cash Finals event!

At this stage, invites are extended to teamed/sponsored players only. We regret to have to turn to this, but we must avoid smurfs and hackers at all costs, especially in a size-limited bracket. All teams/sponsored players are eligible. All unsponsored teams/clans are still invited to apply for eligibility below, but we reserve the right to prioritise professional players over semi-professional/amateur players if the bracket becomes full.

Please ensure you read the FAQ section further down to make sure you are eligible to play!

Players who are citizens of an eligible country but currently residing short term in another country may also be eligible, but should explain your circumstance below before assuming you can play.

Rules: Disconnects, Replays, Observers, Matches, Cheating

+ Show Spoiler +

DISCONNECTS
In the event of a disconnect, players will use the recover game feature to continue their game. If the same player disconnects again, the player shall lose that game. In the event that the game can not be recovered, please contact an admin and they will advise on how to proceed.

REPLAYS
All replays should be saved for up to one week after the event. This is of benefit not only to the admins, but for players as well in the scenario that issues arise regarding the legitimacy of a game or player.

OBSERVERS
No observers shall be in the game other than the official stream observer, casters and admins.

PLAYING OUT YOUR MATCHES
Players MUST play all their matches, including the finals. If you fail to play out your games, you may have prizes, invites and other privileges forfeited. This is just good sportsmanship.

CHEATING, INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR & OTHER NONSENSE
This doesn't need to be explained. If you aren't going to play fair & nice, then you aren't going to play.
