1 #1 nymthae 0 Frags – + Hi guys, The tournament schedule has been posted up on the main tournament page here - times are all local to the UK (BST) The tournament briefing will likely be later (more like 4 pm) but do please try pre-register your team as signups will need to be closed early in order to sort out brackets and seeding etc. The invite group will be playing a round robin on the Friday, with a guaranteed spot in the eliminations beginning Saturday. Standings in the group will determine seeds into the brackets. The rest of the teams will be (hopefully!) competing in a swiss system setup in order to determine the final 2 teams into the elimination. We are running an 8-team elimination bracket this year rather than 16 as per previous. All elimination games will now be BO3 with map picks. As before, Friday will be BO1 with set maps.

29 #29 nymthae 14 Frags – + Reckoner is not completely ideal but nor is putting something like sunshine back in that isn't in active play in Europe given almost all teams competing are European. Both Froyo and Jasmine have had a heads up on it being included. That said, it also won't be forced on them at all - the invite group stage requires only 6 maps making this a fair one to leave out. It's definitely much more ideal to have an odd number for the pick/bans as tsc noted.
