Don't worry the participants list is not final yet

Wouldn't it be more fair if players from same league would be put on the same group? As a gifted player myself with 2 masters and a super-titan in the same group there will be some really intensive games for me. Not giving up though. However, I do understand that the way I suggested has its flaws - all super titans will eliminate each other during the group stage and play finals with some master of gifted player. Just can't think of a better solution.

I do think the seeding as it is right now is the best option possible. Here is an explanation:

awpertuniyt out

It also gives everyone the opportunity to play against super titan. You can see it as unfair, but I'd rather see it as a real challenge and something which would motivate you to do your best!

Hi Brioriy - that is actually the normal way that 'seeding' works. You will see the same thing in most cup-style competitions - (football / tennis etc) it is specifically designed so that it distributes the player skill evenly across each pool.

Don't worry - if you are lucky you may end up in a group with Mag!c and he plays like a Fluffy (just kidding Mag!c I know you beat me in the last Tourney !)

(no disrespect to the Fluffies out there either!)

They will be Mobi'd in front of a line of 3 snipers.

Very good

When the tournament starts do the games automatically appear in my Outwitters active games list?

[[PETA] Doodat]

No, you have to create them through friendly games.

That would be so cool, though!
