The official tournament schedule will be a little different moving forward, with only Saturday and Sunday having tournament matches played. However, we will be meeting up and broadcasting MWC Day 0 on Friday, where the players and casters get to play team games, arcade games, and any other fun SC2 options that night! Players, casters, and viewers will all get to know each other a little bit better, and relax a little bit before the big weekend of games!

The open bracket will start on Saturday, and we will play all games up until only 4 players remain. Those 4 players will compete on Sunday to see who claims the top spot!

To encourage lower league players, we’ll be awarding “top finisher” badges to the players who achieve the highest finish respective of their ladder league. For example, the Silver player who makes it the deepest in the tournament will receive a virtual “badge” that recognizes their achievement.

As there will probably be a number of ties for this category, we’ll end up running side-tournaments for any players that tied in their league. We want this system gives players of all skill levels a chance to be competitive at some time throughout the tournament!

All players must live in the Midwest. To verify this, you’ll need to get a picture of your driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) and black out the personal information except for your picture, first name, and state. Then include that picture in your registration form. For an example of a good picture that proves residency, check out my lovely mugshot:
