For anybody who was not already aware we have a more detailed explanation of Starcraft 2 Rules and Regulations from map pool to structure to point allocation here: http://www.aclpro.com.au/procircuit/sc2-structure-2013

As you can see we are mixing things up for ACL Melbourne trying to find the best structure for Starcraft 2.

[SLCN.Petrify]

Love the top 3 go through and first goes to ro8 change. Really cool!

[syfSoundwave]

Agreed with Petrify, I like the new format, both for open bracket and the groups/championship bracket.

[Eddie]

New format/structure sounds cool!

makes for a more exiting final, should be about the same time used because no LB and is more forgiving in the group stage rather than in the final 8 (how it should be imo)

too bad this collides heavily with ti3, will tune in some time for sure!

Competitors are split into one of four brackets based on their seeding. Top eight seeding will be determined by position finished in bracket followed by map ratio and further comparisons if necessary.

Seeding is based on Online Round 3 and 4 for Season 2 and anybody who did not receive points in either of those rounds will be randomly seeded among other competitors on 0 points.
