Map pool is posted!

I have also added a poll asking if people would prefer a U1500 and U1000 section be created for future seasonal invitationals. I would create separate brackets that would just be for people under U1500 and U1000 ladder. These brackets would just be playing for avatars and wouldn't be part of the main tournament.

This qualifier is the first time there's been significant interest from the U1500 crowd. It wouldn't be a large amount of additional overhead to run separate brackets if people prefer that.

Bad poll, can't even choose between U1500 and U1000
U1000 shouldn't even be attempted imo because 99% of the people there aren't even aware they can join tournaments, only 10% of the 1% who DO know are actually interested in playing, and only 30% of those will actually show up. So might aswell keep them in the U1500 bracket.

P.S. these are real statistics, trust me

Also have fun casting people rushing t2 ACU and turtling on 6 mex for 2h

Thanks to my co-host archsimkat for casting with me of twitch.tv/faflive. We reached 132 peak viewers, a record for a Seasonal Qualifier Tournament stream.

Also thanks to angelofd347h being a Tournament Director for this event, it couldn't have gone smoothly without him.
