Someone is going to collect some easy money. But it is really cool to see a wacky selection of players competing.

Round Robin Best of 3
Top 2 advance to Playoffs

Group Stage 2 is bo5.

Sorry for the 4-players round-robins, I'm confident we'll be able to evolve with the GF format next year.

Let's see if all the players will be there, I think there are a lot of visa issues.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Doesn't seem like it. The majority of well known players have been to China before.

No, his name just isn't linked to any TLPD.

You can TLPD-ize with MajOr and then manually change the name to SpeCial in the code.
