After the fun from our first God of Meta Cup (GMC) , the question heaps of people have been asking...
When is the next GMC?
Wait no longer! We are officially announcing the advent of
GMC #2
!
Even though GMC is a mGG in house tournament, we have heard the request for more non-mGG members to join us. So this round we have decided to make it bigger and hopefully better with more funzies to go around.
While the majority of the players are still from , this round we have included members as well. Various players who have indicated interest prior to this announcement had also been invited to indicate their interest in this sign up thread : http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/y0F3qa2ewY
So what's different now?
We start with a round of 44. (WHAT?!!!)
Players will be in 7 groups of 6 players and will do a round robin format BO1 over 2 weeks.
(Wait! You said 44 but that's 42?)
Yes. 2 players will be seeded into round of 16. These 2 players are defending champion Probe and Kreamy (1st runners up) from our first GMC.
Top 2 players from each group will advance into the round of 16. The round of 16 will have 4 groups of 4 where games will be BO3’s and will feature the Double Elimination/GSL format style.
Top 2 players from each group again, will qualify to the round of 8 (BO3s, Single elimination format) until the finals.
Briefly the schedule will look like this: Round of 44: 24-Nov 2013 (Sunday) to 8-Dec 2013 (Sunday) Round of 16: 9-Dec 2013(Monday) to 22-Dec 2013 (Sunday) Round of 8: 27-Dec 2013 (Friday) to 12-Jan 2013 (Sunday) Semi-finals and Finals: 18- Jan 2013 (Saturday) OR 19-Jan 2013 (Sunday)
!! IMPORTANT !!
What we need now :
All players who have indicated interest MUST confirm either by posting in this
thread
OR via
Skype
to one of the admins by 17-Nov (Sunday)
Who are the admins?
Nemesis, Probe and Stormz
Upon confirmation, the groups will be released latest 24-Nov (Sunday) .
Until then, GL HF!

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Do NOT sign up via the challonger link. It is only meant as a reference for those who have signed up previously from mGG and TCP and those due to invites (having indicated interest since the first GMC).
If u are interested, just indicate in the thread. There is NO guarantee that u will get a spot as if we do have freed up spots, the admins will consider all those who have indicated interest but weren't in the original sign up thread.
The 3 admins will then decide based on how close the player is to either mGG or TCP or both etc and/or other factors. Admins decisions are final and not subject to negotiations/change.

Oh...how will the games been casted and streamed? Similar to GMC1, where all players submit and one day is chosen to cast and stream those replays?
Both yes and no. We are still discussing how we would like to do it for this season. More details will be disclosed later.
