Can my team be just a bunch of celebrities using facecam to get the stream popular

Some teams have been wondering, and we would like to make this clear:

All teams that register are allowed to change or add players to their roster, until May 4th when the registration period is over

I want to give a big thanks to so many of the teams that have signed up in the past week. It really means a lot. We are only 2 teams away from the minimum of being able to officially start, however, I would love to get much more! Lets shoot for 32 teams :)

we are going to try to include another place for players to find teammates again like last year.
Any news/updates on this? I would want to compete but I don't really know anybody here.

We decided on not doing that, but rather approaching players themselves to prepare teams. There is still room to make a USA B team if you would like to participate. PM me and I can probably find you some teammates who want to play.

I'm sorry, I didn't see any kind of registration restrictions on the OP so I was under the impression that this was open to everybody. You would know better than I would though, so I'll take your word on it.

Edit: I know that I can't compete on your level but I thought it would be fun to at least participate in the first round or two

There arent any restrictions. All you have to do is find a team and you can compete.

Just pm me your team and I will have look at it. If it has team members from a country not yet represented, we will call it as such. For example if you have 2 brazil players, we will just call you Team Brazil.

I suppose, however, since we allowed the Taiwan and Japan team, that we wont turn away from other players who want to make teams like this, so send me your team and we will talk about it.

still needs moar hype


also some announcements:

To avoid over-representation of countries we will reduce the max. teams of a single country in the Round of 16 to two. Should one country ascend to Ro16 with three teams they will face each other, kicking one of the teams out of the tournament. The team that placed #17 in Group Stage (by statistics) ascends in the position of the kicked team. These matches will be held on the same weekend as Group Stage matches.

Also, we will do the mappool showcase for Group Stage next Saturday, aka May 2nd at 6 AM UTC. Here we will showcase the maps played during the Group Stage and we hope many of you will join us!

Hi everyone, apologies for the delay on adding teams. I am not ignoring your pms, I am actually out of town for my Brothers Wedding, thus, I have no access to my at home computer. And as luck would have it that is the only place where I can edit the document.

As of now we have 4 new teams however.
Japan B
France
Thailand
And a regional team, Skandinavia. I will update the document accordingly when I have access. Thanks for being patient :)

Seems like a really well rounded pool, can't wait to see the SS ties on these easy maps.

3 tiebreakers ?

5.4: Each map-pool has three tiebreaker. These will be the hardest and longest maps of the current pool.

5.4.1: The tiebreakers will be Free Mod.

5.4.2: Each team will ban one tiebreaker, with the remaining one being played.

5.4.3: In the freak event of a tie on the tiebreaker, the players will use the !roll function to decide who gets to pick out of the banned 2 maps to play as the tiebreaker for the tiebreaker.
'coz too many equalities on tiebreaker last year i guess (pro SSing everything ;_;)

Yes

7.1: A big emphasis on the new feature in this tournament, we want everyone to be aware that there are THREE tiebreakers, and each team will be able to ban ONE. The remaining tiebreaker will be played.

Hello everyone! Thanks for the positive reception to the pools and the stream, among other things.

However, I'd like to announce we will stream live the group drawings in about 5 or 6 hours. I'll post again once it gets started. See everyone there!
the_robot
Probably won't be able to make the livestream but...

Woah, are Tiebreakers really that long?
I mean, they are over 4 mins, these are marathon-type maps.
While playing them for a while I noticed that I often glance at the progress bar and it's not moving forward.
