So while we wait until late August for SEACL #3 to start, I thought it might be fun to have a short tournament to warm up. If we get enough interest my plan is:
8 teams (Clans may enter more the one team depending on interest) ** Can be expanded if interest level high
Two groups of 4
Top of each group play off in final
Format All-Kill (Best of 9)
Player Limit - 2 Platinum Max
Map Pool - Im easy here, ladder maps, WCS Maps, Some combination...
The whole thing would only take 4 weeks (3 group games, 1 final)....
As for start time I was thinking we do it like the SEACL, Thursday 9pm AEST (Flexible again here, so if you really keen and have a different default suggestion let me know).
Thinking about starting on the week Mon 16th - Sun 22nd of July...
So other clans are you interested?
How many teams could you enter (If we have huge interest we may only allow 1 per clan).
Clans Unconfirmed
FaDe (? Teams)
Team Night (? Teams)
IXL (? Teams)
Rules
Your squad can have any number of players, they must all be in either Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum however.
You are allowed 4 roster changes during the tournament. If you swap two players, that is ONE roster change. If you just drop or add a player, thats also ONE roster change.
For each round you must nominate your starting player by 24 hour before the start time.
Losing team picks the next player and map.
Only two platinum players may be used per match. (This resets each match and DOES NOT have to be the same platinum players each match).
If you enter two teams, obviously each team must list a squad. Each team has the 4 roster changes. Players are Allowed to swap between the teams, as long as each team has a roster change to use (Even if they have played previously for the other team.). Also if a side who enters more then one team struggles to field a lineup and has used all their changes, I may allow more changes.
Any mid tournament promotions will be ignored. All players will use their league rank as of Team Submission. I will be checking for anyone delibrately lowering their rank however.
Map Pool
At this stage my map pool I am considering is:
GSL Daybreak, GSL Metropolis, GSL Antiga Shipyard, GSL Entombed Valley, MLG Shakuras Plateau, WCS Ohana, WCS Cloud Kingdom
