Deribus

Can the Diamond league ~~be forced to~~ use the Diamond balance mod?

Swkoll

@deribus only if they bribe me with a diamond

Skrat

What is the minimum number of participants needed to hold a tournament?

Voodoo

Can I play too? Yes yes I'm Master 2 but you know I'm playing more like Diamond. ^^

Swkoll

@voodoo Diamond V is like 1200 ladder, I think I'm going to be strict about this to keep it fair, go play with the big bois

@Skrat I'm going to run them with as few as 4 players, but hopefully we'll get a lot more once I advertise more.
