Welcome everybody to my newest tournament! The Survival of the Less Unfit (there was already a "Survival of the Fittest" tournament before :( ). This tournament's games will take place in maps across Europe. Every stage the players will be divided in two games. In the first stage, the first round will have two 8-player games. The winners of those two games qualify for the following stage. The second round will be composed of two 7-player games featuring the players that did not win in the previous round. And so on, until only one player in each game is remaining without a win. That player will be eliminated. Then, the second stage will start with two 7-player games. And so on, until we have only two players remaining in the tournament. Then, those players will choose three home maps each from the ones that were played within this tournament and the respective rules. They will play 6 1v1 games. If they are tied, they will have an extra game on the map Europa with the rules Escalating, Chained, No Special Gameplay. Winner is crowned the champion of this tournament.

Rules (except for the Final match): Escalating, Chained, No Special Gameplay, 20 rounds.
Rules (Final): To be decided by the finalists. 20 Rounds.
Rules (Final - Tiebreaker match): Escalating, Chained, No Special Gameplay, 20 rounds.

EDIT: During Stage 1 Round 2 grogoY every single invitation in Group A. As such he was eliminated from the tournament. Since Group A has already an eliminated player, Group B would have to play 5 more games before eliminating a player of their own. Therefore, I'm merging both groups. For Round 3 the winner, last to lose, and 2nd last to lose will qualify for the next stage. For Rounds 4, 5, 6, and 7, the winner and last to lose will qualify for the next stage, therefore eliminating one player and grogoY at the end of Stage 1.

There is no right way to say this, but I completely failed my goals with running this tournament. Yes, there were some people who just stopped joining and that was a problem, but everything else that went wrong in this competition is my fault. My initial idea was not 100% doable, I miscalculated how many rounds would be needed for the number of players that were in competition, and then I had to leave for 3 months. This was a shitshow and it is my bad.

Therefore, I think we need to finish this tournament right now. One final game in the Europa map with the remaining players that were not eliminated so far.

I will be, therefore, inviting the 8 remaining players (myself, Darin44, Huyuk, pranburi, Chewie1, SuperSian, shoop76, and MrBoom) to the last game.

I am sorry for all the mess. I really dropped the ball on this one and I will be much more careful in the future.

Doesn't seem hard, but it will happen to someone, that's for sure!

Full standings: viewtopic.php?t=239281#p5278104

GrogoY has been constantly missing invitations in Group A and Group B's game has already finished. As such he is now eliminated from the tournament. Now, this creates a problem. Since Group A has already an eliminated player, Group B would have to play 5 more games before eliminating a player of their own. Therefore, I'm merging both groups. For Round 3 the winner, last to lose, and 2nd last to lose will qualify for the next stage. For Rounds 4, 5, 6, and 7, the winner and last to lose will qualify for the next stage, therefore eliminating one player and grogoY at the end of Stage 1.

Stage 1 Round 2 player qualified for the next round:

RicardoCortinez (grogoY eliminated for missing invitations)

just to check I am understanding this:
Round 3: 1st, 2nd and 3rd through
round 4-7: 1st and 2nd through
round 7: last player is out with grogoY

Edit: I feel like there should still be a 1vs1 for elimination feels bad if you can be ganged up on out of the tournament.
