So happy to see TSL continue and be in such good hands. Hopefully I can make it to one of these qualifiers for old times' sake. In any case, I hope you all have a great event!

That would be so sick, would love to see how you play in the LoTV meta. Best of luck to all the players!

I would be so happy if there was a Brood War/SCR component to this as well, like a companion tournament. But I can’t complain

It was great to see you play! Unfortunately we had to schedule them this way due to other tournament conflicts, or other tournaments encroaching on our reserved time frame. Hopefully next time we'll be able to schedule at different times so everyone has an opportunity!

Thanks for running this, and thanks for the changes! (Fewer BO7s, more BO3s etc.)

Gogo, lets see if we can have a token toss who will end top 8 later on and cause some terrans to say toss is impossible to beat.

Adjustments planned for EU/NA qualifiers

Based on the volume of players we are receiving and the amount of forfeits we're seeing in the lower bracket, the following adjustments will be made to EU and NA qualifiers:

If the participant pool is higher than 32 players, the bracket will revert to Single Elimination to Round of 16, then double elimination onward

Adjustments made to all qualifiers

All qualifying matches will be Best of 5 (Bo5).

These changes will be made effective immediately, with the next qualifier EU Qualifier #2 ()

well it would've been as simple as swapping one of the EU ones with one of the NA ones, not changing any times. or implement some things like server swapping between games or playing on a server in between the players so the latency discrepancy is smaller

regardless im sure the tournament will have a strong field so the qualifiers will successfully serve their primary purpose
