The Soon To Be Elite Tournament - Season 1. [Winner: Doodat]

[Mag!cGuy]

Hello guys! This time, it's not the Elite Championship, it is...

The Soon To Be Elite Tournament

This time, it is not an invite-only tournament. Every gifted, or master, or ST who isn't eligible for the Elite Championship (that's an update decided after the news got posted, I hope some ST will still read this!) who wants to can sign up here. To sign up, you will only have to tell me your league, and your game center ID!
The interest of this tournament is that I will open another thread, where any participants will be able to ask for advices or commentaries on the games he has played during this tourney. Everyone will be able to discuss about them, and I surely won't be the only one to help you guys on your play!
Also, the winners of each group will fight against each other in a format to be decided, and the winner will be able to play at the Elite Championship Season 3! But you will have to have the 2nd gen map pack to be able to participate there.

- The Format -

There will be 36 players, separated in 4 groups of 9 players. In each group, all players will fight each other in a round robin phase. There will be a specific map per round, decided randomly.

The competitors won't be obliged to start all their matches at the same time, for more comfort. In return, once the words '4 days ago' appears on your game against an opponent, the game is an automatic forfeit for the one who let the game run to that time period. The words '4 days ago' will appear once the 4th day has ended and the 5th day of a turn has begun.

In the brackets, P1 is the player listed at the top of the match.

I dont Know where im categorized.. haha
im not part of the elite but im also not on the soon to be elite.. xD
is there a "sooner than soon to be elite but not yet elite tournament"?

(this is just a joke. i dont actually intend to join any more tournaments atm ^^)

[Mag!cGuy]

Hahaha xD

Yeah that's the flaw of these two tourneys.. But inclusing the ST's in this one doesn't fit well enough to its spirit in my opinion.. What do you guys think?

And you could have signed up in the random election of the elite championship mysterious participant.

i was just kidding with my post but if youre gonna exclude the STs maybe also exclude masters at the top half of the list from joining. they are more or less at the lower ST level. just a suggestion

I didnt sign up for the mysterious participant.. i might get picked. :O
i'll just get creamed by you guys. xD

[Thrutchy]

"Soon to be elite" says you are at least in the top 200. You might consider this to be top 200 excluding the top 20ish.

[Mag!cGuy]

Hm, I think I will let any master sign up, to make things simpler (and because part of my teammates are top top master, and I don't wanna have enemies ) But thanks for your suggestion! I think anyway that the biggest part of the participants will be gifted

Nope this is too exclusive, and "soon to be" had more a "hope" meaning, an encouraging meaning, than a theoric one. ^^

[Thrutchy]

yeah, the other one is ultra exclusive. it's probably a good idea to make this not exclusive at all (except to top dogs).

[Flarp55]

when will sign-ups open?

[Mag!cGuy]

If alex is still as awesome as he has been with me the last times I asked him things, when this tourney get showcased in the news.

[Flarp55]
