The other 2 spots will be given to you. We will randomly pick some of you to play in this. Skill does not matter at all for those spots. We want to give a few of you the opportunity to play among these 'top' players. Not to do good, but to have fun. For this you can sign up here and nowhere else.
2 players, 2 subsitutes (in case there's noone to substitude those 2 can observe the games instead).
Some information about the tournament itself;
the tournament will start with 4 groups of 4 of which top 2 advances. The groups will be played Ongamenet style, which means there will be 2 players with 2 games and 2 players with 3 games.
game 1
game 2
1-0 vs 1-0
0-1 vs 0-1
2-0 is qualified
0-2 is out
1-1 vs 1-1 winner qualifies.
Then 8 players will be left. Double elimination tournament in which winners bracket plays best of 3's, losers bracket best of 1's. The final will be best of 5 with the winner of the winners bracket starting with a 1-0 head start.
The maps will be Lost Temple and 3 others. I selected 7 maps that I consider the most balanced maps around:
1. Indian Lament
2. Plains to Hill
3. Blade Storm
4. River of Flames
5. Neo Vertigo
6. Neo Forbidden Zone
7. Gaema Gowon
Out of those 7 maps the 14 pre-selected players picked their 3 favorites. Result of this is that the tournament will be played at:
The Lost Temple (WCG)
Neo Vertigo
Neo Forbidden Zone
Gaema Gowon
Whenever there is a best of 1 to be played it will be at 1 of those 4 maps, randomly selected. Whenever a best of 3 is played the first game will be at Temple. Second game loser picks (out of the 4 tournament maps) and if needed third game loser picks again (dito).
them!!!!
