Challenge: 2 round robin groups of 5 players, top 3 each advance bottom 2 are left on a distant planet's surface to die... the 6 advancing players fight in a round robin single group... first qualifies directly to s2premier, 2 to 4 go to "fast lane for s2" and bottom 2 join the ones on the distant planet... | ||

Man this format and everything is awesome. They even managed to secure WCS points, seems like 2017 is not set in stone after all. | ||

Also there's money on the line for every bo3 match, that's cool. | ||

But they really went mental with all the "Fast Lane" and "Challenge" stuff. Also there's money on the line for every bo3 match, that's cool. If there was no money on the line for each match, this format would be hell. Go through Challenger 5man group into a 6man group into 4man group to qualify into a 10man group for a chance at $1000 | ||
