Round of 47 : Round Robin (8 groups) BO3 |28 March(Sat) to 12 April (Sun) Round of 16 : Double Elimination (4 groups) BO3 Seeding/Group Picks | 15 April (Wed) to 29 April (Wed) Quarter Finals BO3|8 May (Fri) to 10 May (Sun) Semi Finals BO5| 17th May (Sun) 3rd place match and Finals BO7| 23rd May (Sat) 2pm AEST
*Dates are subject to change; please check the thread regularly
Some Simple Guidelines :
No BM!! DO try to date and schedule a time/date to play out your games way before the deadline. No cheating of any type (including smurfing) will be tolerated. Any cheating will be investigated and the player will be disqualified.
Starting Map will be based on vetoes by the players to the last map remaining to be begin their sets.
For the Quarter Finals to Finals, players will veto the # of maps required and remaining maps choose the map they will pick if they had lost and the last remaining map will be starting map.
At the moment, there are plans to have the games from Semis to Finals to be casted. Can only confirm when the dates are also confirmed. However if any players feel their games were awesome and would like them to be casted from replays, please save the replays and send them to me. After I've collected a reasonable number, I'll try to arrange for that to happen as well
Other important matters with regards to this first round (round of 45) :
Please save replays until end of round 1 in case of disputes or if game was epic and players wants them to be casted from replay.
Ignore the stage 2 in this link/set of brackets (format for presentation is correct for this round but not for the next, a limitation of challonge)
Do not wait for the last minute to complete your games.
1st random participation prize will be picked from someone from the first group who completes all their games
Ok I know the important question a lot of you have been bugging me about... the prize pool. As of 27 March, it is as follows :
Please note that all games/sets must be completed for a participant to be awarded his/her prize.
At this point of time I would like to thank all the people who have made this prize pool possible : Cash contributions : Zenabi, Pressure, MightyKiwi, Nemesis Game keys : Rezyn, Schnitzel, 2ezy
*Anyone who still wishes to contribute to the prize pool in any way, please feel free to pm Nemesis or Apoc aka Alon.
Would also note at this point of time my co-admin : Alon. We will be working together to making this event as smooth going as possible.
GL HF!!!
May the Games BEGIN!!

For the players involved, please take the opportunity this weekend to do your games or at least make arrangements to have them done.
Unless valid reasons are provided, walkovers will take place when the deadline is up in favour of those who are seen actively trying to have their games by asking etc in chats.

Commitment is an important requirement for this so do make efforts to complete the games to be fair to every participant.
Thank you ^_^

HEY GODLIKE GMs #1, 2, 3, 4 I dare you to choose me for your group. You may underestimate me, but I have you know that I reached the prestigious rank of in 2012. Over my long break, I have gathered my focus and skill, it is all prepared for this moment.
I don't care if you guys hit round 2 of WCS (GJ btw in all seriousness ) , I've achieved a stunning 3 GPD clan-war wins. I'm not afraid, throw everything you got at me, it won't be enough to handle my KT-Life level macro
Definitely not a rip-off of Crescendo's post above

I feel like Elusory should just get to advance because he actually made the effort to play his games whilst everyone else in his group seemed to be too lazy. Long Live elusory

There were some hiccups along the way. Disappointingly there were some no shows, people who wanted to wait till 1159 on the last day to do their games (yes nicky I'm talking about you) etc. On the other hand, we have super charged groups who tried to do all their games in one sitting (hooray!) or finishing most of their games within the first week. Of course, there were interesting conversations and bondings between some players in some groups which I would love to see more of them as we progress.
Kreamy has decided to pull out despite qualifying. After some consideration, the decision was made to give 2 players who have finished all their games and were close to qualify, and shown much enthusiasm in completing their games a chance. They had initially chosen to do a bo3 for the spot but internet woes struck one of them. As such, Schnitzel will move on into the group of 16.
Group selections will begin today [when I get home from work] and we are going to go similar to GSL selection group style though probably over 1-2 days. A skype group will be created when I come back from work as we decided that there is much strategy in the creating of these groups and it would be interesting for the 16 to come together. The public who are keen to see the groups as it is being made can peek at the brackets as it is being made to join in the hype!
The top 4 seeds have been chosen from the top 8 from each of the 8 groups + in order of their OSC points as of Tuesday morning.

Players are encouraged to follow these guidelines to complete their groups (recommended pacing) :
1st set : by 20 April (Mon)
2nd set : by 24 April (Fri)
Final set : by 28 April (Tue)
All sets should be completed by 29th April (Wednesday).
Progress will be reviewed on the 24th April if walkovers are needed to help move a group (I hope not of course!)
Go ahead and make your predictions for who will advance into the round of 8.
Which group do you think successfully made the group of DEATH?! (Yes apparently at least 2 groups were dead keen to create such groups)

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

I have no control on what happens next. Challonger will just move everyone onwards. This brackets is the REAL brackets to the end of the tourney.
