To answer a few inevitable questions before they arise...


Q: WTF Maps?
A: Yeah... I know. They actually started laying out the blueprints for this event in January, so the map situation has changed a bit since then. I've asked if I can update the map pool, waiting to hear back.
A2: Update - Yep, gonna use the WCS Map pool.

Q: ...Playhem?
A: They're an official partner of the event. Hopefully things run smoothly!

Q: Single Elimination!?
A: Yep. People have been asking for it lately, so here we go! Bo3 Single Elim with a Bo5 Final.

Q: How many people advance to the finals from each qualifier?
A: Just the one.

Q: Am I an eligible participant?
A: Anyone with a SEA account can participate. It's not restricted just to SEA residents, or citizens, or anything like that. Ideally we'd like a full bracket of legitimate SEA representatives though.

Q: Where is the Global Grand Finals?
A: The whole event will operate online. There is no offline component.

Q: What are the product/hardware/goodie bag prizes?
A: Dunno. If it really matters, I can chase it up.
A2: It's over $5,000 worth of stuff!

Q: Is there a league restriction? I wanna play, but I'm only Silver league
A: No league restriction.
A2: If we actually fill out the bracket, I may increase the player limit. We'll play it by ear for now.

Q: How is seeding done?
A: I'm unhappy about this, but Playhem will be randomising the seeds.

Q: When is the Global Finals?
A: December. Don't have a specific date.

Q: How many people in the Global FInals?
A: 32.


Can't think of anything else at the moment. If you have any questions, throw them in the thread and I'll add them to this list.
