Ok, I'm gonna try to do a post that isn't full of text and try to cut to the chase.

Format

Before that - 4 Groups Round Robin Bo2 SSL Format
Ro16 - Group stage with GSL pick system (1st place from each group picks first)
Ro8 - Single Elimination Playoffs (No 3rd place)

For more information about the SSL Format, please click here.
Rules for home map system and tiebreaker scenarios are explained there.

+ [How to choose home map] +

Before you play against your opponent, have both of you to copy the name of your home map beforehand, so you can paste it when you need to. Both of you will count "1, 2, 3" in separate lines and immediately after 3, paste your home map and press enter.

If your home maps are the same, play the map twice with the first map being counted as home for the higher seeded player.

If your home maps are different, the higher seeded player will host their home map first.

Players will be added into Skype groups (similar to GPDL) to have easy access to their opponents and schedule their matches from there.

For casting, I'll only make playoffs compulsory to be casted. Ro16 MIGHT be casted but we'll see if people of the groups can make it on the same day. There's no way the round robin stage can be casted.

Dates will not be planned because I definitely forsee delay, but games will start a week after ladder reset so everyone has the chance to familiarise themselves with the new maps and pick a suitable home map for themselves!

+ [Extra gibberish on why] +

blahblahblah something about SEA players not getting enough OSC points, LET'S CHANGE THIS. One tournament at a time. haha jokes I'm only able to sponsor 1 at the moment. The $250 is gonna come from my inevitable participation bonus + pocket full of holes. Initially I wanted to pocket the money but I guess I'll just make people happy again xd

I have time now, and I want to put it to good use, so alright let's host a tournament. Money has been my issue hence partially why I've stopped noodle cups. now I have some, so ok yay.

Alright guys, since there's no new maps this season, we'll just be using the old maps for the Round Robin stage. I'll start adding those people's Skype I don't have soon, and groups will be created shortly after the closing of sign ups.

Regarding home maps, you don't have to list your home map anymore in your post. You'll choose your home map per opponent and you guys will just let each other know what's your home map before you play.

Remember to ask your friends to sign up! I actually expected about 50 people to sign up, maybe a bit too hopeful but I know there's still a lot of people who are playing but not signed up yet.

Quick Comments

SLCN.Wally:

every group is shitty for you m8

[Elusory]

BTW guys groups were not randomly drawn at all. Here's how the process of seeding was done. Everyone was sorted by leagues and within your leagues, you were sorted by your number. The lowest number got the higher seed. Hence Seither is seed 1, then Wally, then KK, then all the way to the highest numbered GM who is EnDerr. Then the seed after EnDerr will be the lowest numbered Master player. From top to bottom, they were allocated the group A B C D D C B A and then repeated until everyone had a group. With 37 people, D would naturally have the 10th person.

So yeah, nothing random at all, everyone had a part to play in how the groups were formed.

[syfChadMann]

Going to be online Saturday evening for xdc games... if anyone in my group wants to fight me.

When is deadline to have games played by?

[Elusory]

Deadline is supposedly by Sunday night, but if all groups have people not done with their games I might just extend it by 1 week. See how it goes. Best is if everyone can finish them.

[Elusory]

Any who wants to play in XDC but didn't get a chance to sign up? FLuX is pulling out, I'll replace him if there's anyone who's able to clear their games this weekend.

GG, was fun learning something I have never seen before nearly every single god damn tournament match.
