Tournament Format

Each listed map will be run a given number of times, and for each player only their fastest time on the map between all their runs will be used. The slower times will be dropped.

Each round will eliminate all but the (20/10/5) fastest players.

  1. Qualifier: The top 20 qualifiying times will advance to the Quarterfinal round. Jay2a's map Sanctum will be played once by each player in one of the open tournament multiplayer servers.
  2. Quarterfinal: The top 10 qualifiying times will advance to the Semifinal round. Pinapl's map Sugar Rush will be played three times by each player in one of the open tournament multiplayer servers. Only your fastest time between the three runs will be considered.
  3. Semifinal: The top 5 qualifiying times will advance to the Final round. pinesolofchaos's map Untethered will be run three times, and then Siddey10's map Celebrations will be run six times. The fastest time for the first map and the fastest time for the second map among all runs will be summed and compared.
  4. Final: The finals will be 4 individual rounds, and a different map will be run for each round. The player with the slowest time will be eliminated each round. Each map will be played twice, and only the fastest time between the two runs will be considered.

The order of maps to be run for the finals is as follows:

  • Sanctum
  • Untethered
  • Celebrations
  • Sugar Rush

Additional Rules

  • Modifying your game client is disallowed for this tournament, including but not limited to Spectrum and its plugins. Specifically, anything that allows you to gain an advantage over players using unmodified game clients (for example, the heat plugin), will be considered cheating and must be disabled for the duration of the tournament.
  • Entrants must also be prepared to join the appropriate server at any moment from 12pm to 2pm PT. Server info will be sent to you via Discord. If you don't immediately join the server after being requested to join you will be disqualified and we will move on without you.

After all these years I know that some insane skills will be on display. Can't wait to see how this one shakes out. See you on Twitch today!
