Due to lack of players accepting invites through the LOTS Points system, extra invites will be awarded to those in the ladder league.

Important Notice

Due to a lack of interest, we have decided that the Open Qualifier will be cancelled, and that the players signed up will automatically qualify to the group stage.

However, this leaves 2 slots still to be filled. So instead to get the final 2 players, you can signup underneath this post, and the slots will be given to the 2 highest rated signups out of the players who aren't already signed up.

I have also been given feedback about the mappool from various players, and have decided to release the mappool and veto system this Monday (11/08) with one of the reasons being that it gives players enough time to prepare and make matches more competitive.

Signup

There will be a rating requirement of 1000 to participate.

To sign up, leave a post stating your FAF username and your 1v1 ladder rating.

The 2 highest rated players will be picked to fill the remaining slots.

The signups will close on the 13th Of August.

Hybrid, hello. Sign up me, please. Thanks ^_^

Of the 15 registered participants, 10 are from the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus. Easy money for participants from other countries. xD

@Skrat It doesn't make taking 1st-4th places any easier (or harder) for the remaining 5 participants, regardless of the location of the first 10.

The mappool will be released in a few hours

All the maps are here alongside the veto system for each stage. If anyone has any questions feel free to post here or message me on discord.

For the Mapgen maps, we will pre-generate the maps and release them the day of the tournament.

We might decide to close signups tomorrow instead so that each player knows which group they're in sooner, I will keep you all updated if we intend to do so.

Just some reminders for the players:

Each group has a different map pool, with the same veto setup, please make sure you are playing the right map pool. They are labelled above the maps for each group.

Make sure you send your vetoes to either me (hybrid) or Paradox_Of_War please.

Once your match has concluded please report the correct result to a Tournament Director and await instructions for your next match.
