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.

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.
