This tournament is sponsored by https://peopleimages.com/

"When I was a teenager, I spent 4-5h per day playing Broodwar and got placements in some local tournaments. I was respected as a great Broodwar player, but my parents regarded me as a “lost teenager”. Later in life, after a degree in psychology and three years in a Danish Reconnaissance unit, I found myself building a business in the online space of selling images for websites, designs etc. The decision making I had trained so much in my Broodwar days suddenly became useful again, and as my business grew, and market positioning, timing and when to invest became important, I definitively had an upper hand. Starcraft, over any other game, trains your mind to think logically, and make decisions fast that are decisive and potent. Useful stuff!

Now its about giving back to my beloved Starcraft, which this tournament is about. I hope you enjoy, and if you meet me online in the high diamond/low masters ranked games…. Don’t snow mercy. I need the training! "

You should do an event with Mcanning and colttarren to see how closely they sound like each other.

No matcherino for this? What does the $6000+ mean in the header image?

Did I understand this correctly: each group stage player gets $50 and only $50, regardless of maps won (or if participating in 2 groups)?

There's 4 groups. Each group is a King of the Hill (e.g. Shoutcraft Kings), the two best players advance from each group to the Ro8. From the Ro8 it's standard.

Update regarding the Reynor 10-0 situation:

After long discussions with the sponsors on how to handle the incredible and rare 10-0 that we experienced, we've realized it's a much larger conversation and we certainly need to create a proper plan for next season should this happen again. To simplify things for now, we'll be inviting a player of the sponsors choosing from the 2 EU groups that played, and they will be directly placed into the Ro8. That player will be (P)Harstem!

I honestly think inviting Harstem is unfair towards other players. Especially towards those who had a better record than Harstem e.g. Heromarine, Serral, uThermal. Harstem played twice yet failed to take a map if I recall correctly. Other players performed better with only 1 life so to speak.

Nevertheless I unterstand that this is an extremely difficult situation to handle and finding a solution which satisfies everyone is probably impossible.

I think the decision fits well with the overall system. For the players it is unfair to begin with. Might have been refreshing for the viewers, but honestly, koth is a bad format for qualifiers...
