2020 Fall Invitational Qualifier

Hello and welcome to the Qualifier Tournament for the 2020 Fall Invitational. The winners of this tournament will fill up the 8 remaining slots in the group stage as well as determine substitutes. Players who have received invites are not eligible to participate (a list of invites can be found here).

This is going to be a 1v1 Double Elimination bracket with BO3 games in the winners bracket and BO1 games in the losers bracket. In the interest of time, the bracket will be seeded based on ladder rating with the 16 highest ladder ratings being able to participate. Each BO3 will consist of a 5x5, 10x10, and 20x20, played in that order.

All standard tournament rules apply. In the event of a tie in position occurs (ie 7-8th) which is needed to determine whether a player will advance to the group stage, a BO1 will be played to determine who advances. Signups will close 15 minutes before the start time.

I guess I have to sign up before 16 other people do. ThomasHiatt 2178

@ThomasHiatt The matches will be played between the highest 16 ladder rated players that sign up before sign ups close, it isn't first-come first-serve.

7. Blast_Chilled
8. Ryfun

With the following players qualifying as substitutes:

1. ezwithmantis

3. archsimkat
4. Thalia

Watched all the games and gave my own rating.

I like action packed games, preferably even, hard-fought and back in forth. No playing cat and mouse with the armies, unless it's a fight to avoid elimination from the tournament. Also prefer players who don't give up so easily.

Take the ratings not as totally consistent, but as great guide to know what is worth spending your time.
