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!
