2 favourites in one group O_O

Really weird group choosing.. So how much is Elysium gonna charge me to come watch this tourney?

[TAriiChard]

LOL sAint and Shuffle in the same pool?

[Slayar]

Elysium will not charge spectators.

The groups were sorted equally by rank, eg. as if there were three groups of three players and players are numbered 1-9 from best to worst:

Group 1 - 1 4 7
Group 2 - 2 5 8
Group 3 - 3 6 9

The groups I posted were results of that scheme and the ranks I received with signups. This is the first tournament I have organized, so please advise if you think there is an error.

Doesn't bother me, the best players will get through. Just think that you got the rankings out of order according to your scheme I am ranked 9 of the event? Pretty sure I went through everyones ladder rank (presuming this is what you based it on? even though ladder means shit) and I was #2.

Am I right in presuming that the top 2 of each group go through to the ro16? How does the seeding work past the group stage, this will be a big deal considering its Single Elimination brackets only.

^- Above.

Huge suprise to see Rorsarch and JimDiddy in the same group as well as Saint and Shuffle. I don't expect to even be close to the highest ranked players, doing it for more of an experience/to meet the local gosu players / I'm hoping to make more starcraft 2 friends.. (aka you can put GML players in my league and IDM).

[Slayar]

The ranks people sent me with their signups were most likely inaccurate. Would you suggest recalculating the groups using 1v1 Ladder score?

It's your call man it's your tournament :P

If you decide to, I can whip up a list of the current ladder rankings of the 32 you named above.

jimdiddy ftw!!!!!!!!

[Slayar]

If you could email a list of the players BNetID, rank and/or their points/score to BESTsignups@gmail.com that would be great. I'll repost the new groups tonight after work.

Thanks for the feedback and help.

The preliminaries have been amended above.

Quick question in regard to bringing our own gear.

Lets say for example, you wanted to bring along your mouse, which happens to be a Razer Deathadder, as such to receive the full functionality it requires a small installation of drivers.

Will this be possible, I mean, to install drivers neccessary for our own gear, on Elysium's PC's?

You are able to install any drivers necessary unless they restart the computer. The computers at the venue reset all data when restarted.

I was advised by the venue that they believe people have used Razor hardware before without issues.
