U1100 1v1 Tournament IV

Date

17th of May at 15:00 BST. Convert to your local timezone here.

Format

The format is either Double Elimination or Round Robin, depending on the total number of participants. This will be finalised 24 hours before the start of the tournament.

Double Elimination

Double Elimination is a tournament format in which the players will start off in the winner's bracket, playing just 1 game. The winning player advances to the next round, the losing player drops into the loser's bracket. If the player loses again, they are eliminated from the tournament. Completely winning the loser's bracket brings you back into the finals of the winner's bracket for a chance at redemption. The player coming from the winner's bracket has to beat their opponent only once. The player coming from the loser's bracket will have to beat their opponent twice.

3) Where do I need to be on the day of the tournament?

It is very important that you join the IRC channel (#U1100). Instructions on how to do so can be found below. This will make it easier for the Tournament Director to oversee the players, the status of their games, and to make sure the lobbies are hosted with the correct map and settings.

@Pro

Hi, your 1v1 rating was 1600~ on the 17th of February, 2025. Then it drastically dropped to 1082 as of 3rd of May 2025. This drop from such a high peak is too sudden and drastic for me to allow you to participate in this tournament. It will be too unfair for the other participants who are expected to perform more comfortably below the 1100 1v1 rating threshold. Instead, someone of your higher skill level will be more suited for the U1500 tournament when it is hosted.

Stormfront

I was never a real 1600 in 1v1, the maximum I had was 1300 playing on snipes. Besides, it was a year ago and my form has already dropped.I think you should see my games instead of looking at the charts.

Format

The format is either Double Elimination or Round Robin, depending on the total number of participants.

So how many for either one?

Thanks for the question. I'll add it to the FAQ.

There's an 80% chance I'll be free on Saturday. I'll confirm at least 24 hours before.
I don't play 1v1s very often, it's by far my lowest raiting. For reference my ratings in the other categories are Global 1,066, 3v3 942, 4v4 935.
