GCS2 Practice Tournaments
Greetings GCS2 players - there will be two practice tournaments this Sunday at 14:00 BST
Check ins open at 13:00 BST and close at 13:45 BST.
These will be for four reasons:
- To play on the map changes which are going to hit automatch next week.
- To try out the new ace game decider rule revision.
- A chance for low seeds to practice without being eaten alive in round 1.
- A chance for mid seeds to practice in tourney conditions without being eaten alive in round 2.
All matches will be best-of-three and under usual GCS2 rules, with one amendment (see below).
Tournament 1 - Top sixteen players
DevM and Noggano allowed to play if they so wish.
(Note if the check ins are low we reserve the right to change the cutoff for the top tourney to top eight players.)
Tournament 2 - All other players
An excellent opportunity to practice without being nuked by VonIvan and the like in round 1.
Ace Game Faction Pick Rule Revision
Now upon being VP leader in an ace game decider you will be asked:
"You are VP leader - select who will pick their faction first: you [ ] your opponent [ ]."
This means that it is now a true advantage and you aren't forced into being counter picked.
Pointed out by ikab - well spotted!
Map Revisions
Please play on the custom maps versions of the maps that are due to hit automatch next week.
The maps can be downloaded in this thread here.
Kind regards,
