Win, lose, or draw, all players proceed to the next round where winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers, and so on.

With the late start to the year, we unfortunately have had to compensate by moving the tournament later in the month. As the year goes on, it will slowly move to the beginning of the month again.

The Fast Track allows the top 4-8 guys in it to completely skip the Swiss Rounds and compete on Sunday for the money.

Nearly missed your tournament. Always a big fan, because I like the tournament system and its a lot of price money with good players. Today it looks like a "german cup" ^^ (Goody, Darkforce, Akki, Delphi, jaxx, kara ....). Some more good players from other countrys would be fine but Assembly and MLG are also this weekend. Looking forward to nice games in the next hours !

Only german players in the lower half of the bracket right now^^ (Delphi, Akkis, Darkforce and Goody). So no protoss on the way to the finals for Goody :D
edit: The imbalanced.tv's stream is lagging horribly for me right now... am I the only one?

im surprised there arent more people participating here. the prizepool is really good for such a small tournament!
the only thing that i really dislike is the mappool and mapsystem (veto down from 10 maps and then losers choice)

No but 720p+ fixed it for me
IRC
[15:36:14] <@IMBA-Firesilver> Duffs ISP is having issues and it may also be part due to Twitch.TV, This is not a problem with us and is problems we cannot fix, Try 720+ and it may fix your problem!
[15:36:25] <@IMBAtv-mcDuffs> and jtv we have no control of
@Darkforce:
Yes the mappool seems a bit outdated. The organizer of the tour should take a look at current big tours and adjust the pool accorduingly. Testbug is nowhere seen nowadays in mappools
|
Phoenix vs Darkforce in the finals, can't wait for the series to begin!
|
As far as I know the map pool is being reviewed, we should see something different next month.
I had a whole load of fun this tournie. Thanks everyone who participated.
