      Hello and welcome to the 2020 Fall Invitational Tournament. This will be a 1v1 tournament based on the format of the 2020 Summer Invitational with some minor tweaks. For those who aren’t familiar, there will be series of invites sent out to previous tournament winners, and an open qualifier on September 12th to fill the remainder of the 16 slots. This is followed by a group stage on September 19th where the top 8 players will advance to a single elimination finals bracket whose winners will receive prizes and glory .

      What’s changed?
      I’ve decided to move the start time for the tournaments an hour earlier to 14:00 GMT so the tournaments won’t run so far into the evenings for Europeans. Also, if there is a final game required in the Qualifier, it will be a BO1 instead of BO3. Lastly, the third place match and the championship match will be played on the day after first two rounds are played.

      Would you like to contribute to the prize pool?
      You can donate via Paypal to support this tournament.

      Prize pool:
      $365 total

      • 1st: $150
      • 2nd: $75
      • 3rd: $50
      • 4th: $30
      • 5th-8th: $15

      Results:
      1st: Nexus

      3rd: Tagada
      4th: Petric
      5-8th: Turin
      5-8th: Archsimkat
      5-8th: Espeperant

      $100 – Anonymous
      $30 - advait_hasabnis
      $25 - Paralon
      $20 - Voldemort
      $15 - Rhyseenz

      The schedule:
      September 11, 2020 – Deadline to accept invites
      September 12, 2020 - Open Qualifier
      September 19, 2020 – Group Stage
      September 26-27, 2020 – Finals Bracket

      The qualifier:
      This is an open qualifier, all players who have not received invites are welcome to participate. It will be a double elimination tournament with BO3s in the winner's bracket and BO1s in the loser's bracket. Maps will be selected by myself from a pool for each round. Players will be seeded by ladder rating.

      The group stage:
      This will consist of 4 groups of 4 players playing a round robin style tournament with the top 2 of each group advancing. Games will be BO3s. Groups will be seeded by Invitational points followed by position in the qualifier, and finally by ladder rating. Maps will be chosen by players from a pool of 10 using a veto/pick system with 2 vetoes each, players will make alternating vetoes and picks with loser seed vetoing first and higher seed picking first.

      The finals bracket:
      This is a single elimination tournament with all BO5 matches expect for the championship match which will be BO7. Maps are chosen by players in a pick/veto system from a pool of 15 with 3 vetoes each, players will make alternating vetoes and picks. Players advancing from the group stage can submit one map to the finals bracket map pool (subject to Tournament Director veto). There first two rounds of the Finals Bracket will be played on Saturday and the 3rd place and championship match will be played on Sunday. The 3rd place match will start at 14:00 GMT and the championship match will follow it.

      Invitational points:
      Invitational points, formerly LoTS points, have been updated, all players have lost 1 point for decay, and then 8 points were given for 1st place in the Summer Invitational, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 2 for 4th, and 1 for 5th-8th. This produced the following list of 13 invites:
      21 - Petric
      10 - Tagada
      7 - Adjux
      6 - Blackheart
      5 - Nexus

                    I can dedicated cast/stream the final stages, and possibly the group stage. Need to get my 1080p settings for FA but should be doable...

                          Thanks to advait_hasabnis aka JohnBetty for a $30 donation to the prize pool! This brings the total prize pool to $345 and because of this I've decided to adjust the prize pool distribution to create prizes for 5th-8th place in the tournament.

                                I donate a free 1-month subscription to my stream to the top three players. They have to be redeemed by approaching me personally after the tourney ends.

                                      Stop using the word sellout in the context of my stream. Its bad for business.
