As per this thread, I'm pleased to announce that we'll be hosting our (single) Online Round for ACL Melbourne on Saturday, June 30th. The event will start at midday AEST, and players will need to join channel ACLPro.The format will be double elimination, best of three. If there are an exceeding number of registrations, we'll run groups to determine the top 8, and then run double elimination from there.
So for those of you who missed the soft announcement, these are the changes for ACL Melbourne:
1) If you register for the online round, you cannot participate in a regional event (and vice versa). You can participate in as many regionals as you like, however.
2) The top 8 invites to ACL Melbourne will have the privilege of selecting their own groups via a live streamed show (date TBA). The other 8 will be automatically allocated.
3) Essentially coming top 3 in a Regional or Online event pretty much guarantees you an invite to ACL Melbourne. Keep in mind that only 8 people showed up to the Sydney regionals, so it looks like a lot of people are betting on the Online Round. Be prepared for an extremely stacked bracket.
