yea please make it so that only the first x amount of people to get masters get the money cause blizzard is known to **** up and will probably make masters 7% again accidentally and I don't want to see you have to sell of your house to pay your debt to these people.

[Elusory]

We've reached 32 participants signed up, but I'll still leave sign up open and if there are sufficient people who signed up, I will make another round before Ro32 similar to last season, where everyone go into 8 groups and play round robin from there.

Also, to finally address the promotion incentive thing, I understand that Blizzard will make their league distribution change soon. Like I said, I will see how it goes, and if Blizzard screws this up I guess I'll have to remove the incentive thingy. If it's just 2-3 people who promote (like what I actually expected of previous seasons), then I'm fine with going ahead with the incentive.

	syfRize:	thats cute, you think the GPDL is a GPD event
	syfSoundwave:	I'm pretty sure if you proved that your off-race actually was BSG you were allowed to play in it back in the day.
	mGGNemesis:	yes previously if you can prove your off-race was BSG (most clearly an account u ladder exclusively as such), u can

Any problems with letting more people have fun and giving Diamonds more "challenge"?

syfRize:

oh this is about challenging them, why not let the masters offrace :^)

[sR_Osiris]

i dont want to play take me off of the list.....

Elusory:

Done, don't change your decision again.

[syfSoundwave]

The only off-racing Master is me. You can barely call me Master atm anyway seeing as how I'm not actually in Master and haven't been since the season before #dreampool. I'm pretty sure I am eligible to play my main race in here if I really wanted to.

If you want I can send everyone my Terran replays so not only can you study all my strats (which is literally one build in each match-up) you can also see how bad I am. Until then, stop whining and cowboy up. You're super lucky to have a man like Elusory being a boss and taking the initiative (as well as putting up some of his own money) to even organize a tournament like this in the first place. Stop being ungrateful little turds.

but he's not masters because of league distribution.. omggggggg

[mGGNemesis]

Elusory is making a lot of effort and setting aside his time to organise this tournament (not to mention money for the prize pool). Even though feedback and opinions are appreciated, he gets to make the final decision. If he decides that a certain player can play, please respect the admin's decision.

Soul and/or any others, I dont see why you keep harping on it even though Elusory has cleared it. He has done his work to investigate and am sure, is trying his best to get the most participation while being as fair as possible. I believe Elusory in his efforts to trying to ensure that all goes well and everyone can have their competitive fun.

Being admin is not easy and has its own frustrations. So unless someone is clearly smurfing or cheating of which, then which you would pm Elusory to alert him for him to investigate via pm, then that's a different story.

Thank you.

Give 0 fcks and just play the game. Done. Who cares if the masters players are off-racing, that's the point they're off-racing since they know (elusory knows) that they are GPD level. If you think that it is still unfair to vs masters players, knowing you are going to play vs them should in fact push you to even play more and practice to prepare yourself against them. How hard could that be..

	mGGNemesis:	^ +1
	x5.JevyN:	hard to prepare when most people hardly play the game

[Seffy]

Yeah I'm fine with a masters off-racing if Elusory is fine with it. It'd be fun anyway, and it makes anyone in the GPD want to push that much harder to get better at the game.

I've been thrashed enough by high level players that I know I should aim for a learning experience rather than be frustrated that I had to verse one of them. If you win, bloody great you're well on the way to getting good. If not, then you learn something from playing against them. Hell, you can even ask them for advice post-game since they knowledge on how the match-up works.

[tSu]

knowing gpdl 50% of games will be walkovers anyways! so dont worry!
