$2100 Alpha X Junior Championships 2021 Circuit Announcement

[image loading]


Alpha X is proud to announce the 2021 circuit of the Junior Championships. We’re excited to announce some big and excited changes to make this tournament more competitive and overall even more enjoyable.

First of all, if our aim is still to support Starcraft II rising stars, we have decided to extend the tournaments eligibility for 2021 to the 16 and 17 years old who did not earn any EPT point in the 2020 EPT circuit, and not only to the 15 years old and under, who can still compete.

The Circuit

We made some big changes to the circuit itself. We’ll have 9 tournaments during the year: 6 Regular Seasons (1 month and a half each to play), 2 Super Tournaments and one Global Finals.

The cash prize of those tournaments have also been significantly increased: each Regular Season as well as each Super Tournament will have a $200 cash prize, and the Global Finals will have a $500 prize pool.

Finally we are really happy to announce that this tournament is now partnered with the Online Sports Championships and will provide OSC points.

The Regular Seasons ($200)

[image loading]


Each Regular Season will consist of a 12 player GSL style tournament. The Top 4 from previous season will already be qualified in Top 8 of the next one, the Top 8 of the previous season in the Top 12 of the next one, and 4 players will join the tournament via qualifiers. There will be 5 casted play-days: 2 for the Ro12 (Groups A & B), 2 for the Ro8 (Groups A & B), and 1 for the 4 players Playoffs.

Each Regular Season will also grant 70 points for the Junior Championships 2021 Standings.

The Super Tournaments ($200)

[image loading]


Each Super tournament will consist of a one day double elimination bracket, similar to the one which was played in September 2020. Players who competed at least one season already but who reached 18 years old since then, although they can’t play in the Regular Seasons, can still compete in the Super Tournaments.

Each Super Tournament will also grant 140 points for the Junior Championships 2021 Standings.

The Global Finals ($500)

[image loading]


The Global Finals 2021 will take place at the end of the year. It will have the same format as a Regular Season, but the 2 Super Tournament winners as well as the Top 10 players from the Junior Championships 2021 Standings will be invited to the tournament, with the Top 4 going directly to the Ro8.

Streams

We’re thrilled that the amazing caster Rushi will be casting once again the Junior Championships this year. Foreign language casters are welcome to contact us if they want to comment the event in their language.

I understand your doubts. We did not made this choice lightly. After taking everything into consideration, we decided this would be the best for the following reasons:

- Although our pool of players is good, the groups tended to be kinda similar each season. Also a lot of players will reach 16yo this year (Exostriker, BabyMarine, SlyCrab...). Hence, by allowing more players, we extend the pool of players, which should be pretty good both for players and viewers.
- The aim of the tournament is to provide to the youngest players a tournament to prepare for the EPT circuit. Although the 16yo & 17yo can play EPT, those who don't have points yet on the EPT circuit (the only ones allowed in the tournament) are still, technically, young players who need more experience and practice to get results in the Pro Circuit.
- We believe, from our knowledge of the pool of players that the skill gap between the best 15yo and under and the best 16yo & 17yo who will be allowed to join the tournament this year will not be important. We have no doubt, even if the tournament will be more challenging for them, and that's good, that the youngest players such as Ghosti (14yo), Arrogfire (13yo) or WannaBeByuN (13yo) will be able to perform well in the tournament.


Anyway thx for the support, and see you really soon for Season 1!
