On behalf of compLexity Gaming, we would like to officially welcome you to the SoundBlaster Tactic3D Tournament presented by Frys! We are very excited for this event, as it will allow North America's amateurs and professionals to come together to compete for $10,000 in cash and prizes. Below you can find more details about the event including the format, dates and prizing.



















The Tactic3D Tournament will take place in three phases throughout the month of May, two open/amateur phases and one combined phase.



Preliminary Phase



The "Preliminary Phase" of the event will consist of an open 1,024 player tournament with 32 brackets of 32 players each. All rounds will be a best-of-3 single elimination. The top 4 from each bracket (128 total players) advance to the Qualifying Phase.



Qualifying Phase



The “Qualifying Phase” will consist of online best-of-three single elimination play among remaining 128 players who will be randomly placed into brackets. Play will continue until an amateur winner is determined. The top 32 players will advance to the “Tournament Phase” to take on the invited professional players.



Tournament Phase



The "Tournament Phase" will consist of the top 32 from the Qualifying Phase playing with 32 invited players. Brackets will be randomly seeded so that each invited player competes against a top 32 player from the Qualifying Phase in the first round. All early rounds will be best-of-3 single elimination. The Round of 8 will be best-of-5 single elimination. The remaining rounds will be played in a best-of-7 single elimination.

Looks fine to me. As long as you're set to ready you will be placed into a bracket when the time comes.

so you're willing to stay up till 20:00 -6gmt several nights consecutively? also, you're swedish which is only +1(russians or further east would be even worse), add 7 hours thats hmmm 3:00, i'll go out on a limb assuming you work or go to school several nights in a row, thus you will most likely be skipping work for an ONLINE sc2 tournament (not a lan). moreover, every country has different prize rules etc.



and lastly using your logic: the EU craftcup is held every friday @ 1:00 pm CST, which most people living in the central US(or further west especially) will be at school or work then and won't be able to participate. And seeing that a lot of up-and-coming pros are people who go to school mainly this seems unfair doesn't it?



maybe its just me, but it seems like euro elitism as it's finest I must say. so you're willing to stay up till 20:00 -6gmt several nights consecutively? also, you're swedish which is only +1(russians or further east would be even worse), add 7 hours thats hmmm 3:00, i'll go out on a limb assuming you work or go to school several nights in a row, thus you will most likely be skipping work for an ONLINE sc2 tournament (not a lan). moreover, every country has different prize rules etc.and lastly using your logic: the EU craftcup is held every friday @ 1:00 pm CST, which most people living in the central US(or further west especially) will be at school or work then and won't be able to participate.

I don't think your getting the point here. I'm pretty sure American players can participate in eu-craftcup if they obey the rules of playing on eu server.



The thing is even if European players are willing to be up all night and playing on us-server they are not allowed to participate because of the rules.



"The Tournament is open only to residents of any state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia and any Province of Canada "



You must see the difference here right`? I don't think your getting the point here.
