1. This is the first of many tournaments over the next months. 2. There will be different tiers of players, i.e. the the semi-pro is legitimate but there will also be other tiers. ps. sandbox, you signed up late and the region you did is full of nothing but masters/GM players, so don't know why you and others are complaining; it's your own fault...there will be other tournaments and not everyone shows, you and your teammates should know that | ||

Because you didn't read the rules so I'm just going to make statements that make perfect sense as if you had read them. Rules No Pro players that make a living off salary or streaming allowed. B-team and below players are exempt from this rule. So someone like Idra would not be allowed to join. Make sense? | ||

Sucks if it is as between the time that I started work, got home and checked it was already full. Sign up for your region anyway. Once we reach a certain time before the tournament starts, it will be opened up to fill the last spots. And if you don't make it in, you'll get automatically for the August Swiss tourney. | ||

You are denying a lot of good people chances to play and that will only hurt what looks to be a fun/good league. I hope this gets changed but either way I hope this works out well. Best of luck. I understand the concern that a lot of people have for this, but again I'd like to point out that it's not just a one-off tournament, but a full on league that will have different tiers and ways to compete. By limiting this tournament, all I'm doing is filling in each tier at the size that they are supposed to be. The skill of competitors will work itself out naturally with the promotion/demotion structure set in place. Also, sometimes people don't show up for the tournaments when they are supposed to. | ||

If you read the comments, OP will make an announcement very soon that will allow players, outside of the 16 spots, to be able to compete. | ||

I believe your mission is particularly important because, as you say, there is a much needed step between being good on ladder and beginning to be a pro. I think there are many people who could be considered to be in that position, sometimes because of skill, sometimes for other reasons. Besides, I firmly believe in tournaments below the highest gosu levels. It would be cool if there were (unofficial, private etc.) tournaments in every city, province, country (but also school, work, extended clan circles etc.), not for money but for the tournament play, tournament culture, some actual competition among live entrants sitting next to each other, as opposed to only massing solo ladder (of which I don't wish to say a bad word by any means). No anonymity, good sporty manners, consciousness of being recorded and possibly casted, inability to rely on, "I will just keep massing more ladder if this gamble doesn't work." It should also help the participants adjust to pressure after which they should be more capable of dealing with the stress of difficult games on ladder (because they've taken part in tournaments, so ladder won't intimidate them even with supposedly much to prove). So, all in all, GL HF! Thank you for the kind words NewbieOne! I really hope this starts picking up steam so we can really get this running in NA. I know I'm in it for a long haul and so isn't my staff. | ||
