Why tourney?
It is almost becoming tradition that I would be thinking of tournaments at this time of the year. So it comes again :)
Celebrating our love and passion for this game known as Starcraft 2. :)
Server Guidelines
- KR/SEA/ANZ vs EU = US Central
- NA vs EU = US East
- NA vs NA = US Central (negotiable)
- NA vs SEA/ANZ = G1 US West, G2 AU, G3 US West
- ANZ vs SEA = G1 AU, G2 SEA, G3 AU
- If both players wish to negotiate otherwise, they must both mutually agree AND inform an admin for approval. Then, they may alternate servers .
- e.g. if both players wish to play on NA Western and NA Eastern, they must mutually both agree and first game hosted on NA Western, 2nd game hosted on NA Eastern etc, unless both players agree mutually to play on a certain server for all their games.
- If in doubt, consult an admin.

Format :
- Double Elimination; BO3 for most UB; BO1 for most LB; BO3 for LB Semis and Finals; BO5 for Grand Finals UB winner starts with +1
- Both LB and Grand Finals and Semi-Finals are to be casted; Casters will choose at random a set to cast from the start of tournament otherwise.
- Seeding will be either based on Aligulac or OSC ranking or current ladder rankings and WCS standings AND possibly adjusted so that minimal mirror matchups as much as possible for the first round.
- Players please report 10 minutes before start time to the channel to be check-in'd manually by the admins. Walkovers or replacements in 15 mins past start time.
- In anticipation of many good games that may be missed on stream, there is a request for replays to be sent by both players for the RO8 games or any great series you want casted. Please submit replays to Nemesis via Discord. Rename as (player)vs(player) g1/2/3
- Default map pool : Based on current seasons map pool ending November [2018 Season 3] and not new map pool (to avoid overcoming the short time needed for learning the new maps)
- HOWEVER if both players mutually agree, they may use the new map pool [2018 Season 4] for the entire series between them.
- Players who are unable to show up at the last minute will be replaced by a sub if they are able to inform me an hour ahead of start of tournament (subs will play from start of tournament/player can recommend a sub but approval subject to admins) or replaced by a sub if they no show without notice after 20 mins from reporting time or no replacements available, will be placed in LB which would still have a possibility of being replaced if still no show and someone comparable is keen by then (not encouraged). In general, I hope for 0% walkover wins.
- Any subs will preferably be of same race and similar standings.
