"If tied on maps, tied head to head, and tied maps against top 3, next tie breaker is via 2016's OSC Rankings/results." Which implies MaSa would advance based on the logic I wrote out above? | ||

This late change, puts us in an awkward position, as the tournament is already underway, so we can't really bring in a replacement outside of the player pool to put into the Championship Bracket, as they'd be skipping several rounds/days and disregarding 12 months of results. Also, if we leave Hydra in to be walked over, it would advantage players in certain rounds, with free advancement deeper into the tournament. Given these factors, and the time frame we have to operate within, the OSC team have worked to design a solution, which slightly alters the playoff round format to ensure we will have a full 32 player Championship Bracket, while maintaining seeding of said bracket. It will extend the playoffs by a few more bo3's, but considering OSC Season 4 has combined for 325 Tournaments, what's the harm in a couple more games on the path to find our Champion! Here are the changes: Hydra will be removed from the Championship Bracket. His spot in the upper bracket will go to the next highest seed (Scarlett) The following 5 lower bracket players will advance one seed/position in the lower bracket to compensate. 7 Players will now get to advance from the Playoff stage! 6 x winners of qualifying matches advance as before, but now there will be a second chance for losers of said qualifying matches. Loser of A+B will play each other, as will loser of C+D, and E+F (Bo3's). The 3 victors will then playoff in a bo3 round robin to determine the final player to qualify. This player will be the "2nd Chance Winner"/7th Player to advance. No penalties will apply to any qualifying match loser who elects to forfeit the second chance/7th player pathway, as we realize this is a late change to format and player agreements. Plus there may be some wait/down time for qualifying matches to complete. However, this is another chance at more money, and potentially a championship, so we hope it should be tempting! Liquipedia has been updated to reflect these changes. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3DQRnAN.png) | ||
