HEADS UP!
Due to overwhelming interest, we're changing the format.
New format:
64 players
Single elimination (ro32, ro16, ro8, quarter finals, semis, finals)
Bo3 for ro64, then bo5 until finals, finals is bo7
We thought this new format would give a lot more people a chance to participate but also eliminate some of the chance factor resulting from Bo3 series.

Hey everyone,
I've been involved in the SC2 scene for a while now and I thought it would be fun to give back to the community by organizing my very own SC2 tournament. I'm currently involved with a gaming startup (www.rekt.gg) and they are the sponsor for this event (hence the name).
Please leave your comments in this thread and let me know what you think!

Alright everyone!
SURPRISE! This event generated a lot more interest than we anticipated and therefore we've decided to let everyone play who signed up (you still need to register and meet the criteria though).
As with all online events, it's hard to predict who will show up. For now, since we have way over 32 signups (64, in fact), we're going to plan this as a 64 man event. In the case your opponent does not show up, you simply get a bye on the first round.
If we have to play a Ro64, then it will be best of 3, not 5. The rest of the tournament will be bo5 and the finals will be bo7.
Important info that you must read:
REGISTRATION
-Go to the NA Server
-Join the group REKTSC2 and make sure that you talk to an admin at least 1 hour before the event starts. That's 12PM EST.
BRACKET
-http://challonge.com/rektsc2jan17
-Bracket will be posted 30 minutes before the event starts. Find your opponent ASAP in the REKTSC2 group
SCORE REPORTING
-The winner will report the score to the admin. Find an admin in the REKTSC2 channel and make sure they acknowledge your score submission.
-If there are any disputes or accusations of cheating, you MUST save the replay and get in touch with an admin
IN GAME
-We're not going to enforce KESPA rules and all, but just be polite to your opponent. You can greet your opponent and make a little bit of small talk but don't badger them and don't BM.
-No offensive GGs. The first person to type GG in any game will be considered to have forfeited the match.
-If you need to pause, type PP, pause, and then explain why you paused and how much time you need.
-When in doubt, contact the admin.
Casting:
-We won't be casting all games but we'll try to cast as many games as possible. If your game is going to be shown on stream, we'll let you know beforehand and our broadcaster/commentators will hop in the game with you.
Observing
-STRICTLY NO OBSERVERS ALLOWED except for tournament staff. There is no exception to this.
A couple of things:
1) Please tell everyone you know about this tournament!
2) Please, if you have a twitch channel, set it to host our channel when available. We are: officially_rekt. You can do this: https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/2508329
3) Please, don't be a dick to anyone in chat, or in the games.
HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE! HYPE HYPE!
