Qualifiers
In order to participate in the league, you must first qualify via your respective qualifier. Here are the dates and times for each qualifier;

  • 18th May – Silver & Gold Qualifier (Info) @ 18:00 BST - Signup
  • 19th May – Platinum & Diamond (Info) @ 13:00 BST - Signup
  • 19th May – Master & Grand Master (Info) @ 18:00 BST - Signup

Each qualifier will have a player limit of 128 players and will be played in a best-of-three, single elimination format until the RO16. The remaining 16 players will be qualified for the group stage for their respective division. If any qualifier doesn't reach 128 players, we will still play the first 3 rounds of that qualifier.

Groups & Playoffs
The group stage will consist of 4 groups, each with 4 players and will be played in the dual format (otherwise known as the GSL format) and matches will be played as a best-of-three. This means that players will be split into pairs to play against each other and if you win, you go against the winner of the other match. Likewise, the losers of both matches play each other in match 2. The player who wins the winner’s match will qualify into the playoffs stage, and the loser of that match will play against the winner of the loser’s match to determine who qualifies in 2nd place.

  • 22nd May – Group A & B (All divisions) @ 18:00 BST
  • 23rd May – Group C & D (All divisions) @ 18:00 BST

The playoffs will be single elimination best-of-three until the finals which will be a best-of-five. The winner of the final will be crowned Champion along with winning a promotion to a higher division in the following season and bagging themselves a great prize provided by ASTRO Gaming. In the case of the Premier Division Champion, where there is no further promotion, they will receive the prize of highest value from ASTRO Gaming.

  • 29th May – Quarter Finals (All divisions) @ 18:00 BST
  • 29th May – Semi Finals (All divisions) @ 20:00 BST
  • 30th May – Final (All divisions) @ 18:00 BST

1st Place Prizes
Premier Division: ASTRO A50 + MixAmp™ PRO
Division 1: ASTRO A40 + MixAmp™ PRO
Division 2: ASTRO A30 + MixAmp™ PRO
Division 3: A* STAR

What happens if they get less than 16 participiants? For a tournaments, that's fine, but for a GSL group thingy, that was fly as elegant. Maybe a Round Robin? Or my wet dream, Swiss

I signed up, hope some more does the same.

So, for whatever reason, only masters/gm qualifiers are getting the signups (with a few exceptions). We've been communicating through the week with our Astro rep trying to a) figure out why people aren't signing up to the lower league qualifiers b) what will we do if we don't reach a workable amount of signups. We still don't have an answer for a) as we both agree that everything has been communicated clearly enough, but the answer to b) is that we will run the tournaments for those lower divisions at a later date.

We are still new in SC2 after only hosting 2 tournaments before, so we're still to gain traction and a following within this community - we're dedicated to that.

Which tournament have you signed up for?
