Eligibility:



You must be a citizen of Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the United States of America, or be physically living in the mentioned countries. Server priority is based on region, so for example a player like Scarlett, living in Korea, but Canadian, would be eligible to play but will receive no special treatment for her current location (Korea) regarding servers.



Format:

(Sign up links & Matcherino pages + codes will be posted after dates for the event are confirmed)



Tournament #1: AU/NZ Players only (Top 2 qualify)

Tournament #2: NA players only (Top 2 qualify)

Tournament #3: Open qualifier (Top 4 qualify)

Tournament #4: Playoffs (Ro8 -> Finals)



The 3rd tournament is perhaps the most important out of all of them, as the majority of player representation will determine server preference in the finals. (Example: If 5/8 players are AU/NZ then server default will favour them in the finals. Same said if it's 6/8 NA players, server preference will go to them.)



Prize:



Each event Matcherino will provide up to $100 in coupon codes. BaseTradeTV will provide $300 in addition to the finals. Additional funds per qualifier will be split evenly among the qualified players. The Grand Finals prize pool will be split as follows:

1st - 40%

2nd - 20%

3rd/4th place - 10%

MEGA TAX - 10%



Dates & Streaming:



Casters for the event will be Maynarde & Zepph, they will be streaming it all on

At the very least, his nation totally fits. And that would mean DemiLove would be eligible, which makes a difference competitively. At the very least, his nation totally fits.

The Open qualifier remains where it is, however and anyone from CAN/USA/NZ/AUS are welcome to compete in it! Commentator

The importance of the Open qualifier is that it will decide what server is the default server for the play offs.

Lastly, Rifkin & Zombiegrub will be mostly hands off for this. (You may see Zombiegrub guest star for the NA qualifiers). Points of contact for the event are our admin,



I write this as I leave for PAX, so I will be unavailable throughout the entire weekend. Good luck, have fun! Any player in any league can compete, you just have to either have been born in the listed regions, or be physically living there.
