Pro players have until 11:59PM AEST Sunday 29th June to confirm their attendance to secure a group seed. Should players confirm after this date they will start from the open bracket. You can see who has registered and who has confirmed in the original post. You will not be considered confirmed unless you have registered so while telling me you are coming is great you must fill out a registration form.

Group reveals will then be sometime next week.

Smash is being played? Maybe I'll come after all.

Jokes I'm doing stuff that weekend.

Just to give some clarification. PRO REGISTRATION closes tomorrow night but registration for open bracket will stay open until the day of the tournament. Anybody who registers for pro registration and doesn't make the groups will have their registration transferred to open bracket so there will be no need to sign up again.

**Baldie** · Mon, 30th-Jun-2014, 3:32 PM

Pro Pool Seeding will be revealed on Wednesday July 2nd at 8PM AEST. I will be joined by Maynarde and selected pros to provide thoughts and insights. Join us at www.twitch.tv/aclprosc2!

We will be using the official WCS America Map Pool at the time of competition. So I will need to confirm if the new map pool will be used.
