The Soon to be Elite Tournament - Season 2 - Quarterfinals

[lawtai]

Since there will be a new Elite Championship, there should probably also be another soon to be elite tournament that goes along with it.

The Soon to be Elite Tournament - #2

Format:
This tournament will be open to 20 people. I will divide the people randomly into 4 groups of 5 where a round robin will take place. The map for each round will be a specific map, randomly chosen.

We will use the standard timeout for the matches. The game will not count if P2 does not take a move.

In the brackets, the top player is P1.

The top 3 in each group will move on to a playoff where the following format will be used:

Quarterfinal: Best of 1 on Long Nine.

Semifinal: Best of 3 on a predetermined map.

Final: Best of 5 on a predetermined map.

The winner of the STBE tourney will get a free spot in the next Elite championship, if it ever happens.

Requirements:

- Must have all teams and all maps
- Cannot be participating in the Elite Championship.
- Limited to Gifted, Masters, and Super-Titans.

To sign up, please include your GC id, and your current rank/division.

Group Play Stage
I've randomly divided the 14 participants into 2 groups. Each group will play 6 games against the others in their group. The player on top in the pairing is player 1. The following maps will be used for each round as labeled in the pairings.

Round 1: Glitch
Round 2: Sweetie Plains
Round 3: War Garden
Round 4: Reaper
Round 5: Foundry
Round 6: Skull Duggery
Round 7: Sweet Tooth

Quarterfinal Matchups

1. -PasswordisTaco- (P1) vs Flarp55 (P2)
2. =) Random Task (= (P1) vs Xerozen (P2)

1 Game on Long Nine.


Again, if the game times out, just post the replay and you will get the win, as long as your opponent played a move.

The top 3 from each group will advance to the next round, with the top person from each group having a first round bye.
