This is the last in the series. I've had mixed feelings about this decision. It's tempting to continue on. I still love this map and I've had a lot of fun running this series. However, I feel that for now at least, I want to develop other tournament ideas that I've been neglecting. I might restart this series one day, but for now, there will be this one, and then a Grand Finale tournament, and that will be the end. I want to thank everyone who has played in this series and made it so successful, and especially I want to thank all the people who have given me great feedback and lots of compliments. It really makes me feel good when I get a PM saying how much someone enjoys this series.
Once again I'm applying for a GA medal for this tourney. This time, you will have to win the first two rounds to get into a special GA game. Everyone who wins their Phase 2 game will get into the game, so it will be 8-player. (Unlike the 1v1s, it will have a round limit, because non-1v1s on these settings do sometimes hang.)
I'm also going to throw in a 3-month premium prize for the person who eliminates me from the tournament. Of course, I hope I win the tournament, and that particular prize goes unclaimed!
Let's all have a lot of fun.
Map: Baltic Crusades
Settings: Auto Seq No Spoils Chained Foggy Trench No Round Limit Warning to all the silly trench-haters: this is a trench tournament!
Tournament Flow: 32-player 1v1 elimination bracket. Bracket-randomization feature at Challonge.com will be used in setup. 1 game per round for first four rounds, followed by a best-of-three Final. Freemiums are allowed, but are required to reserve one spot for this tourney, and will default if they fail to do so. If a freemium makes it to the final, we can play 1 game at a time.
