Just like last time, we'll go ahead and start this post with a quick word from our sponsor:
Our first event with BaseTradeTV was a huge success and we're so glad to be back for the Ting Open 2! I can't thank Rifkin, ZombieGrub, Feardragon and Olimoley enough for all their hard work and dedication - they work tirelessly for the SC2 scene and as a huge fan, I'm truly grateful. Like last time, we'll be running some fun giveaways (including a bracket prediction contest) and creating custom video content ( like challenging viewers to 1v1s ) to be shown on stream. If you have any other content ideas for us, please share them in this TL thread. See you in Twitch chat! - Jesse
*The prize pool is provided entirely by TING, players will have 60 days to claim their prize or forfeit it back to the sponsor.
PRIZE POOL BREAKDOWN
1st place: $2,000 USD
2nd place: $1,000 USD
3rd/4th place: $600/400 USD
5-8th place: $250 USD
This tournament is online only and will feature qualifiers leading into 2 group stages, leading to a RO8 single elimination. Qualifiers will be all Bo3, all group stage matches will be Bo5, semi-finals will be Bo7 and the grand finals will be a Bo9. All dates posted are tentative and subject to change based on conflicts of interest and player's schedules.
QUALIFIER DETAILS (more details below)
2 North American Qualifiers (single elimination) - CANADA, UNITED STATES, MEXICO
2 European Qualifiers (single elimination)
2 Korean Qualifiers (single elimination) - KOREA, JAPAN, CHINA/TAIWAN
2 Wild Card (GLOBAL) Qualifiers (single elimination)
*Eligibility for each qualifier will be based on residency. To be perfectly clear, it you are a North American citizen living in Korea, you must play the Korean/Wild Card qualifiers. If you are a European living in America, you must play the North American qualifiers. Any regions that aren't listed must compete in the wild card qualifier (SEA/South Africa/etc)
There will be 8 Invite spots reserved to be issued after the qualifiers, and will most likely be used to invite those that failed back, based on performance. Invite slots are entirely up to TING to use as they see fit!

Challonge links, map pool, and such will be added soon
Notable changes:- Prize pool is less top heavy
- Qualifiers are single elimination
- Group Stage #2 will remain region segregated
- Snute, Masa, Mana & Rogue have invites directly into Group Stage 2, creating a small change on how players transfer from Group Stage 1 -> 2. First place winners will advance like normal, but second place players will have to play an additional "tie breaker" Bo5 to determine who advances.
- There's a 3rd place match now!

Love Ting - looking forward to more awesome games!

Ting is definitely the best T(h)ing!
Generally, I was never watching many online tournaments, but with the lack of offline events for both Koreans and foreigners (which is the most interesTing Ting), this tournament goes pretty high in rankTing!
The level of players in the first Open Ting was really high and I hope to keep this in the second Open Ting as well. The format is interesTing as well with the "region locked" groups in stage 1 and non region lock in stage 2.
Definitely looking forward to it!!!
Do the Ting again!

Ah, thank you for letting me know. There's nothing on TL or in this shared document with Blizzard, we'll look into reworking.

"1st place and (2nd place winner) finishers from Group Stage #1 will be placed into group stage #2

I don't really understand the format, 20 players, 2 groupstages and if you're lucky to get into a group that has the number 2 in it you can directly advance to the ro8, while those players from group #1 will have to get to the second groupstage first !? I guess it's just a mistake and that "group 2" is supposed to be "groupstage 2"? I'm super confused by now )=

Original posts will be updated to reflect it after we confirm it but the new dates should be:
Saturday 28th - NA Qualifier #1

Dates & sign up links are available, go go !

Better thinking, if you play someone who's much better than you, you have their replays legitimately and can learn from them without waiting for tournament repacks, or stream repacks..

I would love for the map pool to follow the ladder. I understand it's nice to stand out but with the addition of Frost and King sejong soonTM, it would be enough diversity to stick to it imho  !
